sick

miserable...

I'll be back when I'm better k?

Have you ever seen

a puppy dreaming? You know, how it's laying there and it's paw starts twitching and you can tell it's dreaming? I've seen cats do it too...

And I can feel Kahlan doing it.

Normally it's her hand twitching like that, right up next to one of my hips. Right now? A foot. In my ribs. Fluttering and twitching. It's cute really...

I swear, this kid is an endless source of amusement for me right now. And she proved my dentist wrong today. I get the feeling she likes proving people wrong. My kid for sure...

Anyway, I went to the dentist today. It was supposed to just be an exam and a few x-rays, get to know the new dentist type stuff... Until he saw my x-rays. He decided one of my teeth was so bad it needed to be fixed TODAY. And since he had it numb, he fixed the one in front of it too... Apparently the sealant that had been put on there when I was younger failed. Oops. *sigh*
So, as he was numbing me, she was DANCING. And I was laughing a bit. And as the anesthetic kicked in, she dozed off. No big deal, and I don't really think it was the medicine, she was just tired. She had been really active for over an hour, and she was just ready to take a nap.
And so he told me that as soon as he started drilling the noise would wake her up. Nope. Not the slightest twitch. But within an hour of leaving his office she was kicking harder than she ever has before.

Contrary child...

Once in a while...

... I actually agree with something our government is doing.

Administration officials are focusing on rebates of $800 to $1,600 for individuals and couples and so-called bonus depreciation to allow companies to deduct 50 percent of business investments made this year. Democrats say the package also should include boosts in unemployment benefits, food stamp payments and the Medicaid health care program for the poor and disabled. Talks between Pelosi and Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, have focused on smaller tax rebates of perhaps $500 for individuals.

Like Bush, lawmakers would not discuss what a compromise plan would look like, stressing cooperation rather than potential differences over details.

"This is about one thing in this package: Is it a stimulus?" Pelosi said "So whatever it is that we are considering, it must meet that one criterion: Does it stimulate the economy? Does it put money into the hands of those who will spend it?"

(Link to full article)

Yes. Seriously. Give me a spare $500 and I could and probably would have it spent in less than a week. Maybe a day if I really tried.

I would pay some bills, go out and eat, buy some yarn, have some coffee, buy some clothes and little bits of cuteness for Kahlan... I would pump it all back into the economy in a hurry...

So send me my money Mr. Bush!!!

Emotional Train Wreck

He's been gone less than 24 hours and I already miss him.

Damn.

I wish we could afford to turn the cell phones back on... we will be able to pay the bill in like 2 weeks, but I really wish there was someone we could borrow the money from until then or something...

I think not being able to even talk to him is making it worse. Of course, pregnancy hormones are no doubt contributing to the title of this post as well...

I'm tired, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, bored, but nothing I do helps. And thats when I realize I'm lonely.

Me, the anti-social one in the family. I actually really miss somebody for probably the first time ever.

I need to hurry and have this baby so I can be me again and not this blubbering emotional wreck.

TGIF

I have a foot in my ribs. When I stand up, I don't feel it. But sit down for any reason? Oops. It's back. Now, I love my baby dearly, and usually it's fun when she kicks. But she's being a little BRAT today.

*sigh*

On the up side, Rickey just called from his buddy's cell phone. They are already through for the day, and will be heading home in about an hour or so. Then they have to pick up a trailer and drop it off at the office once they get back to town, and will probably be home around 3:30 or so. So I'll get the hug I've been dearly needing all week about 4 hours earlier than expected.

I swear, I never thought I'd miss him near as much as I do... and I'll only have him for 2 days before he has to go back to work. *sniffle*

I know that he's off working because it's a good job... and I know that if he was not working and was back here 24/7 I'd be wanting to throttle him. Damn pregnancy hormones.

I'm a bad knitter. I haven't worked on anything since Wednesday night, and even then I didn't finish but a few rows on the headband I'm making for the Monthly One-Skein KAL on Ravelry...
And I probably won't get any knitting done today either, as I have to straighten up the house before he gets home...

Which is why I need to quit blogging and blog reading and go clean...
At least cleaning generally involves standing up so I can convince Kahlan to remove her feet from my ribs.

I know this feeling...

Quite well. It's not me though, my belly button hasn't popped yet.

Look! It's a belly.

29.5 weeks

Oop... dat was faster than expected.

So I just finished Fuzzy. Thank GOD. I was really getting tired of that yarn. Now I just have to decide what I want to do with the darn 2nd skein. *sigh*

Anyway, here it is:
All girly and fuzzy and SOFT... And I think I made the sleeves too short... but that may be a good thing/ may help keep her from eating the fuzz...

1 down...

It's finished. I decided against the ribbon ties for now, until she gets here and I can judge with it on her.

All in all, (even though it's pretty much my own pattern now) I'd rate it a 4.5- Look-5, Ease of creation- 4 (because of sewing it all together)

After having worked on the fuzzy sweater which is knit in one piece and then divided for the armholes, I think if I make another wrap sweater I will do the same thing with it. Sewing the side seams was a pain. I <3 circular knitting.

Fuzzy

Is nice. But a pain in the rear to knit with.

This is the Fuzzy Baby Sweater as of this morning. I'm moving pretty quickly with it... all I have left to do is the sleeves. The fur seems to be getting in the way though. It wasn't so bad on the flat pieces, but the circular sleeves are a bit tricky. Overall I'd rate the yarn a 3/5. Finished look- 4/5, Ease of use- 2/5. As for the pattern, it scores a perfect 5, for both look and ease of creation. I definitely want to make her a couple more of these in a different type of yarn.


Now... off to work on the sleeves again.
