a new find via the web

Okay...

I have just had a fabulous night discovering more fun blogs, sites, and boutiques all with great ideas for stuff. You know me anything to get the juices flowing in this cranium of mine. I thought I would share a fun site called http://www.projectnursery.com/ it is loaded with tons of stuff and you can be there for hours hopping from one site to the other. Well, that is really it...I have been on the computer for 3 hours looking at random things and I NEED to get off. Enjoy though it can be a treat if you take the time to search.

issues of the heart

Well...

some of you already know that Sunday night my Dad had a heart attack. It was so random and out of the ordinary to us. He just is not a heart patient or has any signs of a heart patient. All that to say without going through the whole story, he stayed 2 days in the hospital monitored and he is home now resting and getting back to himself again. He will be going back in 6 weeks to see if they need to do open heart surgery or stints on the other 2 remaining blockages. My dad made a sweet comment that he will be very close to Schafer cause they will have some life changing things in common. Two open heart surgeries on people I love is too many to go through in 6 months. But if it makes him better and stay here longer than it is worthy it. I am just gonna need many bottles of hair color to cover this gray.

I had a painting I had to do for someone...she wanted a heart with wings. I had been busy with little things here and there and just not inspired at all. I had a basic idea of what I was gonna do but not feeling the execution of the whole thing. After going through this with my Dad and bringing me memories of Schafer's heart surgery and hospital time...it came to me. I got it done in just a few hours. My friend really didn't give me a color palette or anything that she HAD to have, so I was pretty free to do what I wanted to do. That was nice. It is a painting but has some collage work in there too. I am posting the pics and also some of my brave man who is now a little over 9 MONTHS! Can you believe it...i will be getting on the planning of his 1st bday soon...wow. Well enjoy and just keep my Dad in your prayers.

where did time go...

Hello out there...it has been awhile. Some is laziness and doubting the content of being blog worthy or even of interest to you all. Cause frankly I feel a bit boring and busy with blah things. To update you bloggers I've finished up a nursery (which I currently don't have pics...stay tuned), trying to finish up taxes, projects around the house, and we just went to St. Louis with Schafer for the first time. They both did great in the car for it being a 7 hour drive. We made it in 8 on the way there...potty training can bite. But every time we took Haiden potty she was dry and said she didn't have to go, but I made her for the lack of stops between podunk towns. On the way home we only stopped once and she was good and dry the whole time with no panic stops! Good little girl. Schafer did really well...the last 45min there and back he had it. Wanted out and wanted to move. I really can't blame him, I sat between both kids in a 14 inch space on the hump in the back of an xterra...yippppie.:( Not fun at all, rather cramped if you would like to know. And I really could complain way more about much more with that lovely situation. I really can't believe I am saying this to everyone reading, but I really think I want a mini...miniva...minivan. There I said it out loud. Maybe in a few months we'll look into it.
Also, a mini update...the minute I confessed my desire to chill on the painting gigs etc. It pretty much has flooded in and I have been tested big time. I have to tell about...oh, 8 people that now is not a good time and space them out. Oh, can you even image trying to do all that even with out kids. Phew, I get stressed if I really think about it. That is alot to keep straight and put full attention to. Well, I would put some pics of Schafer's first trip to "the Lou" but I forgot my CAMERA!!!!! URRRRRGGGG! Til next time...Kacie out;)
