Alice screams

That title is because, Lucky me, thats what she has been doing all morning. And all day yesterday. And the day before. Here is my brain, here is my brain on drugs, here is my brain after being screamed at by a monster for the last 52 hours.

Ok fine she sleeps, but I am at the point I want to shut her in a room and walk away. She will only be diverted from the screaming and pinching (yeah she learned how!) if she is taking the cards out of my wallet, or asleep.

I wish she would sleep more. Or lose her voice. How has she NOT lost her voice yet?

And so I blog. Not because I have anything in particular to say, but to to and not pay attention to the cries that don't end.

If she is NOT teething I will be so mad because I don't want to deal with similar actions when she actually IS teething.

Oh my goodness, for the love of humanity. Shush it.

ALice Reads

So ALice was jibber jabbing to herself on the floor. You know amidst the scattered Uno cards, the toys and some books.

I looked at her to discover she was reading Toy Story to herself.

She has since moved on, and come to remind me that I am the one that changes the diapers.

Some day I will post about our vacation. That day is not today.

Fun in the Sun

Well, there is lots of things to probably post about the trip, but due to my lack of camera cord and no drive for the memory card on the laptop, you are getting random ramblings.

Its our last night in Florida. That means our last night of 70 degree nights and 85 degree days.

Alice got some sun. A farmer's tan to be exact.

We went to Turtle Mound/beach its part of a federal park. The waves were nuts and we played at getting run over by the waves. Daniel sat farther down since I had the baby, and by the time he stood up he had sand in his pockets (including his shirt pockets).

Ok, as I am writing this ALice went to see the great grandparents down the hall and Daniel is passed out and snoring on the floor. Good times. Ha, and I just scratched my head and got some sand under my nails.

The best part about the sand is that its tiny tiny pieces of shell. So its concave on one side. So it forms a suction on your body.

We also climbed to the top of Turtle Mound. Its not that big a hike, plus the whole thing is via a ginormous ramp (you know wheelchair accessible). The mounds are ancient garbage piles. Some tribe would winter down there, and throw all their shells in huge piles. So these hundreds of feet tall piles were the table waste. Wouldn't you like to see 800 feet tall piles of chicken bones?

Photo Post (and the bag I made)

Its now January 2004! I really should change the date on the camera...or at least turn it off. Well anyway: Here is the bag in all its glory (technically it needs ironed)


And below is my first zipper! I only ripped the whole thing out once (maybe twice) before I ended up using a glue stick to stick the suckah to the fabric, then sewed it in. To make it more confusing, there was a complete lining and then I had to add that on later.

Also, the zipper area had darts, but the patter was way confusing about it since it cut the excess fabric out of the pattern. After doing what looked like the picture I figured out what I was supposed to do and ripped them all out and do it right. And Below Gathered elastic pockets!

Holding the morning's diaper. Still clean!


A few moments later, the morning's diaper was on the move and no longer clean.



And from a couple of nights ago: Alice wants to work in a Chem Lab!!!





Except it was past her bedtime. Goodnight Alice!

I made this!


Ok, so its 1 am, and my eyes have been blurry since about 11. But I am done. Completed. Gimme a check mark. I made a ridiculous goal for myself, and I did it. Um, now since its 1 am and i am really really tired. Tired enough to maybe not even do spell check. You get an image from Google. Not quite the real deal, but ya know. Its the one in the lower left. Only in blue star burst fabric and brown trim. I made the mistake of thinking it would be cool with polka dots on the brown. Not so much. But it looks good. Or rather, good enough. Don't look too closely.
