Tough Love and World Card Making Day
Oct. 5, 2008 No Comments Posted under: Uncategorized
What a day today was. Poor Bug had a rough go of it this evening. She has been fussy, not eating much and has had very restless sleep lately. I suspect the four new canine teeth are the culprit. Anyhow, after I got home this evening, we were eating dinner and I, rather stupidly, let her sit on the dining room chair by herself. Can you see it coming a mile away? Well yeah, duh! Anyhoo, she did fine for a long time and then crash, bang, bam, WHAAAAHHHH!!!!! She fell off the chair and there was copious amounts of blood. Oh, I forgot, before that happened, I gave her a bite of food with my fork and poked her gum with it and then she got a bite without me that was too hot, THEN she fell. She cut her lip, probably bit it. You how things like that happen in slow motion and you feel like it takes you forever to respond. I felt awful. I think it really startled her the most, but she did bleed a lot. She went back and forth between Daddy and I getting love and kisses. She finally recovered and a little while later while she was peeking in on Littlest in the bassinet, she apparently fell and hit her head pretty good. I was in the garage and didn’t see that one happen. The poor girl. She cheered up when she got a bonus bath. I let her play for a long time. She has a swollen lip, but luckily it wasn’t too bad.
In fact now that I look at this picture of her, her upper left lip is only slightly swollen and there a little bit of a bruise. She is growing up so fast, it’s unbelievable.
Littlest on the other hand faired a little bit better. I only managed to maim her a tiny bit. I’m not sure how, but when I was laying down with her and feeding her, she ended up with a scratched lip or something. She was having such a good day otherwise. She, too, is growing up fast. Nine months old already and over fourteen pounds. She is an amazing little girls who loves to laugh out loud. 
Yes, her sleeper is a bit too small and her bad haircut hasn’t grown out yet. I’ve been doing the clothes transition again. It always seems to be a huge ordeal. Since certain brands of clothes are smaller than others, I started putting them with the size they really fit and then I have to wash the new size clothes coming in from the garage, then wash and put the old ones away. I don’t know how people with five kids or even three kids do it.
Today was World Card Making day. So to celebrate, I drove out to the outer edges of the earth and met Auntie Brat and Sweet Smiling Girl to make 9 cards and a card holder. It was a beautiful drive out there, but it was far!. I used to be such a perfectionist when it came to making cards. Auntie Brat could make 10 in the time I made part of one. These stamp camps have been good for me, no time for perfection.
The purple one is my favorite.
This is a folder to hold all the cards.
