So today started off rather poopy. Last night I had slept in Gavriella's bed while both the kids and Chris fell asleep in ours. I literally woke myself up some time in the middle of the night just by rolling over (because I've gotten so big). Then when I woke up I was feeling depressed because I'm still pregnant (on top of other things) and started ( Read more... )

OK, why the hell half my pics showed up and the other half are links I have no idea. But after taking an hour to resize, rotate, and post the dam things, I expected them to come up properly. Oh wait, maybe I can fix it.
EDIT: Nope. It kept fuckering up. You'll have to follow the links, sorry.

So I finally have pics of the girls' dresses and the diaper bag that I finished this morning.

( on to the pics! )

So. What's going on. Um, not really anything. Kids are still at school, Chris still at work, and I'm still gestating. One more week until my due date, although I hope I don't even make it to that. Although I must say, this child has been extremely active today. I've had little feet sticking out of my side all day, which is actually pretty funny. ( Read more... )

So I finished Gavriella's dress from hell tonight (and of course I haven't a picture of it yet). It's short sleeved, pink (of course, she's 4) with a floral contrasting material. It's pretty and dressy, she loves it. But so yeah, dress from hell. And you know those Simplicity patterns? Not so simple after all. They could do with some clearer ( Read more... )

So I've been working on a dress for Gavriella and have not gotten very far. Last night after very carefully sewing on the curved pockets to the front of her dress (which frankly can kiss this irish jew girl's ass!) I realized I sewed them on the wrong place. And I did such a good job sewing them on that I couldn't get them off and needed to cut out ( Read more... )

So I went to Israel 3 years ago for a 2 week trip/tour all by my lonesome (meaning sans husband and children, I was one of about 40 on the trip). It was all people my age, well actually I was one of the oldest, but we were all early 20s. A couple people on the trip were Israelis who, well, I can't really describe why they were on the trip without ( Read more... )

So my Dad found out today (he's a lawyer btw) that he has been selected to be sworn in my the US Supreme Court to be a lawyer who can, oh what's the term, hold cases in front of the Supreme Court. Apparantly less than 5% of lawyers are qualified to do that. Go Dad, you rock.

So the exterminator came today. He determined that our unwanted boarder probably went as soon as he came, and probably through the toilet in the basement. He did a whole walk around in the basement, garage, and outside, giving me tips along the way. He ended up only charging me $35 since he really only did an inspection AND if I see the rat again, ( Read more... )
