Good Morning,
Since my last post, my laptop hard drive died. So I had to have my son in law do an overhaul on it. Luckily, he was able to save most of my "stuff" on it. I wasn't too concerned except for my pictures, and my favorites. But he was even able to save them. I do have to install webshots and just haven't made time for it yet. Yesterday was a total waist of a Sat. I had a bad headache so spent most of the day laying around. I did manage to get my Winter Village put away and the everyday stuff back into the pie safe. Snowmen have gathered on my dining room table waiting for me to put them away.
I have been stitching some, but no pics to post this morning. I have P is for Parrot from The Prairie Schooler almost finished. I started Uber Egg from Bent Creek in hopes to have it finished and displayed for this Easter. It's been fun to stitch. I will try to get pics posted soon.
I think I have the Blahs!!!! No, I know I have the Blahs!!
Dealing with my mom has just been awful. She's not happy, mean to the nursing home staff, very defiant with anything they want her to do. She ask us to do the impossible and then chews our *** out when we tell her we can't. She can say things to you that just cut you to the bone. It's been hard to keep my mind on what I need to thru the day, and can't sleep well at night. Steve and I are both exausted all the time. Then we have the crappy weather. I hear we are suppose to have 40's everyday this week so that should be nice. My face is healing well. Still having problems with my hand and have a doctor appt tomorrow.
I will try to make my next post will be nicer.

Score: The rock 1 - Deana 0
Well, here's what happened to me last night. NOT PRETTY!!!!
Steve took these last night, I look worse today.
I came home from our Swans stitching group, let the dogs out and our Dalmation didn't show back up at the door in her normal timely manner. I called and called, walked a circle around the house calling for her with no success. I was beginning to get worried since we have so much snow. She does not like to be out side in it. After 30 mins of looking and calling, I get in the car, drive down the street behind us looking for her. No Sage. Came back home and she still wasn't there on the pourch where she always is when she's ready to come in. By this time I knew something was diffenently wrong. I walked around back again calling for her. I stopped in the back yard and thought I heard a faint whine. I called again and waited. Then another faint whine. I just could not figure out where it was coming from.
I walked around and called and listened. Finally, I found her under our deck. It was dark, I couldn't see her and she wouldn't come out. I'm thinking she must be hurt, so now really starting to panic, I ran around to the front door to run in and get a flashlight so I could see.
The snow had drifted so bad in the back yard and along the side of the house, so I was trying to run along the flower bed next to the house. That area had snow too just not as deep, plus it was dark and I tripped over a large rock in the flower bed.
After stumbing a few steps trying not to fall, I fell and hit my face on another large rock in the flower bed. When I fell I landed on my left hand with my fingers bent backwards. Just as soon as I hit I knew it wasn't good. There was no way I could get up right away so I just laid there for a few minutes thinking, "I'm probably bleeding and my fingers are probably broke. I gotta get up." I got myself up and into the house. Remember Sage is still under the deck so I'm still worried about her too.
My mind was racing, I knew I couldn't leave her out there not knowing what was wrong. I went to the bathroom to get some kleneex and looked in the mirror and thought "Oh my god" This isn't good." With kleneex against my face I got the flashlight and went back to the backyard. Sage had gotten back in the far side of the deck and there were so many long icicles hanging down under there, she couldn't figure out how to get out. After coaxing her and her getting down and crawling under them she came out and run to the front door.
I new I was going to have to go to the hospital. Steve was working so I called him to tell him what happened and that I was going to drive myself to the hospital. By the time I got there, my face was swelling so bad and my lower jaw was hurting so bad that I was afaid it was broke too.
The hospital was really concerned that it and my hand was broke too. After about 15 exrays, I was told nothing was broke. Steve got there while I was in exray so I finally got to see him. I think it kind of shocked him too.
They gave me a pain shot along with 4 Vicodin to get me thru the night and a prescription for more. Of course, no work today. I screwed up my perfect attendance from the time I started working there, over 3 yrs ago. After a very restless night, I have spent the day on the couch with ice and pain meds.
I'm felling less pain now since I just drugged up, so thought I'd post this.
I'm not sure what Monday will bring, I hope I can go back to work, but right now my mouth and jaw are so swollen, I can only talk out of the corner of my mouth. Eating is impossible. My throat has swollen so swollowing isn't easy either.Steve went and bought me 2 boxes of Boost shakes. Their very good, but I have to use a straw.
That's it for now, I hitting the couch again with my ice pack.
P.S.
Guess I won't be stitching for a while. My hand is stiff and pruple.
until later,
Deana

New pics finally
I have really been busy since my last posting. If I could just set down and quickly write a few things going on in my life, I'd post more often. But, I seem to be sooo slow at posting. I have to think about what I want to say and then I like to add a few pictures. Since my last post, I have finished my Needle Delights Stitch a Long for February
and I finished O is for Owl for the ABeeC online stitch a long.
Now I have started P is for Parrot
There's not much to see here. Just the top of the bird cage.
I have pulled out Yellow house sampler from my rotation and have worked on it the last couple of nights. The colors are really pretty and has been fun stitching.
My rotation has sort of been put on the sideline lately. I haven't felt like stitching on anything in it.
Here are a couple of scissor fobs I made last weekend. I found the beads at WalMart and thought they were pretty and I already had the charms on hand.
On the family, Austin got his cast off this week. He wasn't very happy though. He wanted to keep it on. I think he was enjoying the attention. He adjust to the crutches quickly and was practically running with them. Here's the last picture before the cast came off.
Mom is not improving very much. Still not able to use her right arm and leg. Her attutide is in great need of improvemment. She doesn't like being there and is easily confused.
Now my last pic is of course my little Emmie.
She is wearing her black and pink dress, I bought her last summer.
Isn't she just the cutest? She also likes my pink snuggie.
