Can you read a poem
about your heart's blood
As it drips through your fingers
I wonder if it does.
You sigh and you moan
you primp and you preen
you act like savages
but all you are is mean.
You know nothing of the heart
It's wounds and its joys
I'll only say this once
You're a fool that I love!
This is in response to another poem by a fifteen year old. His was for a girl in his class and me I just felt like it! Can't you tell how Emo it is! hehehe

Creepy Crawler
Actually it is more like a happy crawler. Eyes is now officially a crawler and moving around on her hands and knees. She sometimes flips over onto her back (which startles or scares her - especially if she hits her head on the floor) and she is even trying to pull herself up on things. Which means give her a few months? or so and she'll be walking. Yikes! She loves strawberries and boy does it show. I usually have to strip her naked at meal time if I do give her some just so I only have to wash her and the highchair. I have even tried giving her some toast - didn't go over so well.
Other than that I had a good time at my Mom and Dad's this weekend. I got three items completed. My half and half hood or maybe I should call it my Two Toned Hood! It is half red and half blue after all. Hehehe. Also I got a red wool bog coat done and a red wool lined cloak done. I am not sure I want to trim the bog coat. The more I think about it the more I like it as is. It is big and whoomfy. I did screw up the neckline so the hood doesn't sit as nicely as I would like but it is still workable and I like it. Raven thinks I need a more homespun trim for it because the wool is so coarse looking (and feeling) but yeah I think I like the coat as is.
One strange thing that I also determined this weekend is that even though I am allergic to wool and it makes me very itchy and red and raw (especially if I work with it all day) I still like working with it! There is something about the wool that satisfies me when the job is done. Some would say I am just a masochist (they point at my husband when they say that) but I think I am just weird. And I like it that way. Hahahaha.
So here's a poem for the road.
Cloaked and Cowled
the nomad roams
Hidden from the wind
but only the fowl
know where he shows
the place he makes home.
That was a weird poem! Maybe I should go to bed soon. Heh Night Night!

Hummmmdeedoh!
I am in a nonsense mood right now so this is what you get....NONSENSE!!! hehehe
Okay maybe not all nonsense but enough of it anyways. I haven't updated for about a week and have been meaning to but got caught up reading Manga on the Internet. Sigh! It's still pretty and and and I like it!!!
Okay quick summary of the last week... Thursday was Track and Field day were I ended up volunteering to help out with the hotdog lunches. They even provided chicken and beef dogs so I could have some. Yay! Eyes was fussy for a bit but she hadn't napped that morning so I don't blame her. She was conked out by the time Smiles got out of class and we went home.
Friday I was supposed to go to a BBQ for Raven's sister who was in town but didn't make it out. Saturday was the kids last swim lesson (until we sign them up for more) and that night we went to the Waterpark at the world's largest mall. I had bought tickets through the community league which was selling them for a third of the normal cost. The only thing bad about the experience is that next time we all use the Family room and use one locker instead of two. You know why? The cost of the locker rental (which didn't take quarters by the way) was the same amount as the ticket! Argh! Anyways we saw lots of people from our Community there and Eyes played happily with H's little sister. The two babies were adorable in the water. Smiles and H were inseparable and went on all the rides together. Bear was a maniac scaring his poor father with his choice of rides. hehe.
Sunday was Father's day and the kids gave their dad their gifts. We went to Hubby's Mom and Dad's place for supper that evening and had a lovely meal. I really liked the artichoke/avocado/ other things salad. I ended up finishing it off. That was how much I liked it. So even though I said it earlier Happy Father's Day Hubby!
Today was an exhausting day. I decided to clean after leaving things for awhile. I had been sick and other than the above mentioned things mostly slept this last weekend. So I cleaned today and tonight Hubby and I went to a parent orientation meeting for Bear's schooling in the fall. He'll be going into a Diagnostic program to help with his Social and Speech problems. Once we got there we discovered that our old roommate and his daughter were going to be going into the same program as Bear. This made Bear happy when we told him upon arriving home. He was like "She's coming to my school?!" "Um no, you two will be going to a different school for the first couple of months but will be in the same class together." "That's so cool! I can show her.....(Insert random kid ramblings)". So yeah, he was excited. Oh and one thing that is amusing me is that I just gave Eyes a pickle and she loves it! Heheheh. And yes I am watching her to make sure she doesn't choke!
Oh here's the nonsense (in bad poetry) that I thought I was going to be doing throughout but apparently I got caught up actually blogging. OH and here's a poke at someone who hasn't been updating her blog for like a MONTH... POKE POKE!!
Tribal Wars is fun
but you know you aren't the one
When your villages are all burned down
and the battle has been won
And your on the losing side!
OMG she actually ate the whole pickle!

Cheerios Monster
Eyes has gotten to the point where she is able to take large handfuls of Cheerios and stuff them in her mouth. You would think, but would be mistaken, that this does not increase the Cheerios percentage on the floor. I just swept yesterday and will have to do so again maybe three times today - all because of the Cheerios. At least she likes finger foods. I am going to have to start branching out and finding something else she can grab by herself. Hmmm - toast?
Last night I went swimming with Raven and even though I didn't do alot it felt good. We then went back to her house to do some sewing. When I asked her about the half and half hood she was all for it. So it looks like I'll be doing the half blue and half reddish brown fake suede hood. Which is cool I really want to see how it'll look. Other than that I finished the trim and clasp on the large reddish brown fake suede cloak and put clasps on three other cloaks. What three? you say. Why yes three. One was a play cloak for little H and the other two were old cloaks that I will be putting in the used bin. I had found a tub in the garage marked Costumes and Cloaks and finally decided to go through it the other day. I found five cloaks that I am willing to get rid of. One though I need to strip it of its trim and use the trim on another cloak. The only reason why I kept that particular cloak was because of the trim. The cloak can be sold for dirt cheap otherwise.
I also found four costumes I no longer need or care to have around. One is a dress that I trimmed up very nicely and wish that it actually fit. But it was too small for me when I made it and it definitely does not fit now. That doesn't mean that I could never wear it - I would just have to get a major breast reduction. There were three shirts that I do not use anymore either. I still have nostalgia over one - a bright red (though the red is fading) trimmed with black cloth around the neck and arms tunic. There is a bright kelly green tunic were I totally messed up the neck line and have not figured out to save it. Raven suggested just cutting out a child's tunic from it. Which leaves me with a medium rich green blousy shirt that was once again an original when I was learning to sew. That shirt is about 15 to 17 years old now. I did not put elastic in the sleeves and the neckline is so gathered that it doesn't lay down like it was supposed to so.... that one I am thinking I will definitely make into a dress for Eyes. She looks good in the darker colours -just her Mom.

Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut and cut some more fabric
So I over did it at my parent's place this weekend. I am still sick with this nasty cold but decided to go to the farm anyways. I am glad I did because I ended up cutting out five items. (Oh my sore knees - it was a concrete floor I was crawling on to do my cutting) Well six actually but it might be only five I haven't decided yet. I did sew one item. An unlined fake suede dark reddish brown cloak. I also put the trim on Little H's cloak, now I just need the clasp for that one. I am going to see if Raven would like it if I came over some time and sewed with her. I brought home two projects and need trim and clasps on my done items. The one project that I want her advice on is the hoods I cut out. I had enough left of the fake suede for a hood and thought I would pull out the remnant of the dark blue fake suede. Sure enough I had enough for a half circle hood from both of them. So my dilemma is that I could a) make two hoods b) make a reversible hood or c) make one full circle hood with one side blue and the other side red. I had been wanting to make a cloak like c but am leaning toward trying it out on the hood first. It seems to be that this is the year of experimentation for me.
Other than that the kids and Hubby are sick as well. Including the baby but at least she's still smiling and giggling. I tried taking a nap this morning and failed miserably due to the colossal headache. Oh well that's enough moaning. Suffice it to say that I am sick - yuck! Oh one small tidbit that I laughed at was Bear going "My brain's going to explode. It hurts!" Of course this was before we left the farm and I never think to take medicine out with me so he had to suffer without his Tylenol until we got home. Sigh! At least they went to sleep really quickly when we got home.
Other than that the kids had a good time. They enjoyed looking after the chicks. The last chicks hatched while we were there. Even Eyes smiled when she saw them. Grandpa specifically had Bear help him take the newly hatched ones from the incubator out to the chicken coop. Bear really seems to like the chickens.

Impaired Drivers
Bored to tears
Bored to mischief making
Bored for fears
Of casseroles baking
Bored of cheers
With the tyrants waking
Bored, Bored, Bored.
So the above poem isn't quite right. I am only bored right now but have actually had a pretty full week. On Tuesday I over did things and have a long list of stuff that I accomplished in and around the house. The most notable one for me was that I went swimming with Raven and ended up at her house to talk cloaks afterwards. I was very happy to see her. She apologized for not bringing me anything back from Europe but you know what the best present she gave me was her ear on Tuesday! I missed her.
Wednesday I was laid out with a miserable cold which was emphasized by my sore throat. This was one of the indications that I over did it on Tuesday. Smiles had a pottery field trip that morning, where she made a tooth fairy and will be painting it next week. I mostly sat on the computer bemoaning my lack of energy and just being miserable. Yesterday I attempted to do some more housework and actually accomplished some. I also tried to go to bed early. HA! I got caught up watching my Anime. Sigh! Anyways I had just fallen asleep when something woke me up. Between the baby screaming and the sirens outside I had to get up. But I really didn't want to. Eventually the baby went back to sleep and so did I.
The sirens outside were from Hubby calling the police due to the fact that an Impaired Driver decided to smash not only into his truck but to total our neighbours car as well. So since he was able to get the license plate he was up way later than he had planned on being filling out a police report. Needless to say he did not go into work today. Actually our neighbours got lucky that it was only the two vehicles that were hit. There were around five other cars and trucks that the idiot driver could have hit as well but didn't.
So tonight I am thinking that I may not be able to go swimming (my head is so stuffed I don't think adding water would be a good thing) but I might still go out and visit at Raven's house. A couple of friends are supposed to be coming over and I would like to see them. Though I don't know if I should inflict this cold on anyone else. After all the Kindergarten Moms are talking to me again but now I am standing offside so they have less chance of catching my cold. Sigh!

Ode to a Jolly Jumper
Jump Jump
I wanna jump jump.
Bump Bump
I wanna bump bump.
Thump Thump
I wanna thump thump.
Yeah!
Yes Eyes totally loves the Jolly Jumper. She really likes the jumping part which I knew she would. I like it because now my arms are not so sore from helping her jump. Giggle! Other than that life has been better. I have been ostracized by some of the Kindergarten moms but whatever they were the mean ones anyways. I am on speaking terms with Leh now, though we do have to go over what happened on Thursday still. After all I do not think I should be cast as the sole villain of this piece. My thing is I want to wait until I am no longer sick, depressed, sleep deprived, having my period, etc... In other words I want to be a reasonable human being because I don't know if Leh will be. But that will be for later.
Right now I just want you to know I have the most awesome Mom and Dad in the world. They came in on Friday bringing the buffalo that we had ordered. My dad and I went through it and divided it up so that Auntie Ski and I got roughly equal portions of the meat. We took more of the ground and I gave her more of the steaks and roasts. While I was doing that my Mom (she is so awesome!) planted plants and things in the flower beds!!!! Woot! She also brought strawberries as a special project for Smiles! Mom said this way she can reap the juicy rewards for looking after the plants! I love my mom!
My mother-in-law was also there on Friday having taken Bear to get his golf clubs. She also set up his first session for Wednesday so he can learn the proper way of handling the clubs. He was having trouble figuring out the grip. He also apparently lost the putter for his set while they were still in the store and the salesclerk was kind enough to cut another one down to Bear's size. He's such a stinker! Anyways I was told Raven is back from Europe and that makes me happy because I really missed swimming with her. Later everyone!
