What Do You Do At 3:00AM?

Got a massage last night. This Thanksgiving season I am thankful that I know somebody who went to school for massage therapy and she makes house calls!

I slept like a baby last night...

... until 3am. I guess I slept long enough because I was/am wide awake and feel more well rested than I have in WEEKS! Yeeehaawww is all I can say about that.

So it's 3am and I need something to do... might as well go to work.

Worst. Night. Ever.

I could have killed someone last night

I had a headache early on... one of those behind your eyes, where you want to put lotion in your eyes because they feel so dry? Taryn had a friend over, a new one at that... and come to find out she's friends with Krissy's ex-bff Ashley! For some reason this girl wouldn't stop talking about Ashely, either. Was driving me nuts.

(Why Ashley has a friend who is in a different building of the school is beyond me - she's in Elementary, this girl is in Jr High)

Taryn, this friend & Krissy were playing Deal or No Deal (the board game). Krissy was the banker... I was actually in their room for awhile. To pass the time as banker (it's a pretty boring part of the game) Krissy was playing with Taryn's CSI head. It's this model head that you can sculpt clay all over it to make different facial features. Not a big deal. I'm in their room for about 10 minutes - I go out into the garage to have a cigarette and I come back in the house to hear Taryn SCREAMING at the top of her lungs. I go back up there to find Taryn completely flipping out that Krissy is playing with this CSI head. I told Taryn she should have said something 15 minutes ago when Krissy started playing with it. And I know she knew - it's not like a small thing you can hide or anything.

My head is just killing me at this point. I don't know what time it was, but I went to bed. 7:00 maybe? I don't know. Krissy comes into my bed to watch a movie. Fine. Anything to keep the peace. Trying to fall asleep with this child in the bed is like trying to sleep in an earthquake. But my head hurts so bad that I'm actually succeeding. She wakes me up to tell me she's going to bed, Fine. Go! She leaves the TV on...

Then I am awaken at 10:00 by the doorbell - you know how much my dog loves doorbells! Some guy was picking up a sled or something from Jason. We knew this. So for the next 2 hours I've got the dog flipping out that there is a stranger on the property. I'm still going in and out of consciousness.

Then I have this messed up dream that some kid is telling a mom that her daughter is living in the dark in a mausoleum and then the water in the pool next to it turns to blood and starts shooting out bloody water at everyone while this mother is yelling at this kid that her daughter is dead and is not living in this building.

Chico starts barking again and I hear the garage door. I look at the clock. 11:45. Good God. I go out in the garage and half way beat the dog to go outside and threaten that he is sleeping out there. I have a cigarette and Jason & I go to bed. My head still hurts so Jason gives me some Tylenol and rubs my neck because he can't find the Activon, which I found in the drawer in the bathroom this morning.

Oh... the movie on TV was Stir of Echos. The dead girl is buried behind a brick wall and she's afraid of the dark.

I finally get to sleep, but the night sucked. I still have a headache. And the girl that stayed over is in Taryn's room coughing. Great.

More Shamless Plugs Because There Isn't Anything Else To Do

Didn't have much else to say this morning so I thought I'd show a few of the newer designs at InsanityWear & SledderWear.

I try to do at least two new designs each day... it doesn't always happen and sometimes I go overboard and make ten or so new ones a day. Those are on really creative days and when I get up before 4am. Yep, all my creativity comes before the sun comes up. Funny thing, really. Once it's about 10am or so - I'm done. My mind can't function again until the next morning.

What I like most about this job is that all my work is done while sitting in my robe with bed head hair and no makeup! Wooohoo!

Lazy pup

I just can't keep my hands off this camera today!

Are you afraid of snakes?

Let me introduce you to my sweetheart - this is Jake. He's a mama's boy. Love him to death, as you can see. He loves to give kisses, too, which is what he was trying to do. Actually he was more interested in the camera most of the time.








I had to remind him that he doesn't have fingers so I don't know how he would push the button.


And yes, I know... most of you are squirming at the thought.

I WANT TO BE A CAT

What a life....
Poor Oliver hasn't been feeling well the past few days, though, so I guess I don't want to be him right now, but he just looks so fricken comfy! This is actually the first time he's really been out in the past 3 days... he's been fighting off a kitty-cold in the back of my closet since Tuesday.
He's cuddled up to the dog in this picture, but all I could get was the dog's butt so I cropped it.

Do you buy your own stuff?

Of course we do! Here is Demon #1 wearing her brand new fishy-fishy sweatshirt! She picked it out... she's the one that can catch a fish in a puddle and/or on a bare hook!

(You can get the Fishy Fishy in the Lake design here!)

I'm actually blushing!

Ran across this blog post today while going through my statcounter. Never heard of lady before, never heard of this blog... what a nice surprise to find someone talking me up more than I talk about myself!

Makes me wanna go run and make a bunch more kids' designs!

Oh wait... I did that!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I dug my snowman table runner & placemats out of the basement today. Got them all washed and on the table.

It's my version of a snow dance (rain dance, get it?). Maybe the snow will flock to my visions of snowmen???

... wishful thinking.

Tupperware Party!

Yes, I had one. Yes, I'm partially insane. But hey - if it's free, its for me and having these parties gets you a whole bunch of free stuff, so I do it every now and then.

OK, it's been like 5 years since I've had any kind of invite-your-friends-to-spend-money parties.

We had a good time, really. Honestly, I have never been to a Tupperware party before so it was pretty interesting for me. I was the only one there who had never been to one. Figures. But I won't bore you with the details, except for this one;

I have a friend who lives 3 hours away from me. As a joke I sent her an invitation. Not that I didn't want her to come, I would have loved for her to come, but who is going to drive 3 hours to attend a Tupperware party, right? I was pleasantly surprised to find out she was actually going to order, though! I never expected that at all. I just wanted to send her an invitation just to be a dork.

Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day - well the morning anyway. At church the kids put on a "King of the Jungle" program at the 10:30 service. I have never seen a group of kids so enthusiastic about church... it's amazing. I'm so happy we found this church.. My kids love going to church, bible school and these programs. Demon #2 was the "King" in the program and sang a short solo. She has a great voice!

So after church we ran over to the grocery store to pick up milk. We go through more milk, it's crazy. At almost $4 a gallon you would think I'd start rationing our milk supply, but I just can't. My demons will grab a glass of milk over juice or pop any day!

Ran into a friend of ours, a guy I used to work with. I really miss him. I took over his shift at the hotel every morning and we had our morning cigarette ritual to signify the passing of the torch into the next shift. Many many debates were done on the front porch of the hotel! ;-)

Seeing him made us shorten the time I had between church & the party to actually get ready for the party so we cut the visit short and raced home. Started picking up the last minute dirty socks, hairballs and other such ugly things when someone knocks on my door.... it's my friend from 3 hours away! The turd didn't tell me she was coming! LOL I was in shock - so much so I didn't even sound excited, but I was. It was so much of a shock that I just ... didn't really do anything!

Now we know who will drive 3 hours for a Tupperware party!
