The day after...

Here's a picture of Nicky's eye the day after the boo boo. It looks so much worse now. It's awful. Poor kid.

It just hit me HARD

I was just over at my Dad's house helping him pack up for Japan. He'll be over there alone on sea duty for 2 years. I hadn't really faced it until now. Watching him pack though, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm a mess. Can't quit crying. I can't even explain what this feels like. My Dad is who I call when I need advice, need help with something, or need spiritual guidance. E-mail's just not gonna cut it. Blah. I can't even write anymore about it right now. I'm sobbing too hard.

A very bad day...

Nicky has stitches right above his eye. Around his eye is hugely swollen and black. His cousin was swinging a metal bat and Nicky walked right into it. I almost passed out when I saw him come inside. He looked like he had walked out of a horror movie. Blood everywhere and TONS of it. I, of course, immediately had a massive panic attack. So did Joey. He actually panicked so bad he got hives. I do great when it's anyone but one of my kids. Anyway, I'm really grateful that it wasn't worse. I'm grateful that it wasn't a skull fracture or eye bone fracture or his eyeball. So grateful. At the same time, I'm terrified of him sleeping tonight. I'm gonna be up all night checking on him. For the rest of the very bad day story, head over to Priscilla's blog.

Our new baby

We got a new puppy yesterday. We took one look into her eyes and fell straight in love. She's a toy rat terrier and she is bouncy and playful. She has our big, fat, lazy beagle running from her. She really likes his long ears. She rears up like a grizzly bear. She's only about a pound so it's really funny! Her name is Bella. Here are some pictures....

My little cutie

Nicky got a new outfit and new sandals and he was so proud to show them off. He looked so cute so, of course, my sister had to make a scrap layout of him. It came out gorgeous. Feel free to visit her blog for more beautiful scraps, freebies, and layout ideas. She's Twinsanity on my sidebar.

Booooooooooooredom

I'm so bored. Seriously bored. All my housework is done. The kids are playing quietly and have no interest in me whatsoever. Dh has duty and won't be home until tomorrow. What's a girl to do? I need a hobby. I wish I could knit or crochet or do needlepoint. Something. Anything. I also need sun. We haven't seen the sun here in over a week. It's gray and dreary and it just plain sucks. Funnily enough, in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, they are having 70+ degree weather and constant sun. Grrrrrr! Well, I guess I'll go read www.perezhilton.com. That should provid me with a few minutes of interest. Peace out!

Menstrual whaaaaaaaaaat?

So, Thing 1 is taking Family Life this week. He comes home yesterday and I jokingly ask if he learned what a penis and a vagina are. He says "Nope, we learned about girls' periods. You know their menstrualbation." MENSTRUALBATION. Seriously. I think he has a couple things confused. Of course, I laughed my ass off and had to call and out him to Master P and her dh. My dh was overcome with laughter and we tortured the poor kid about it for the rest of the night. We will no doubt torture him with this for the rest of his life. LMAO!
