treeskinWon't be heading to Mom's tomorrow, because her area is expecting rain/sleet/snow/ice the next couple of days. Maybe next weekend.
Grandma was in decent spirits last night, if a little dopey. If Mom understood the nurse right, Grandma's on Tylenol 3 and darvocet for the pain, plus whatever antibiotics. They're trying to get her strong enough for surgery, and hoping it'll happen next week.
The Bug is in love with the sweater that my mother-in-law knit him for his birthday. I had to fight him to get him out of it and into a sleeper last night, and this morning, he wanted the sweater again. Must remember to send her a note and let her know.
Discovered this morning that The Miss is absorbing more of our lessons than she's been showing during lesson time. When I gave them coloring books, she leaned over to The Bug's book and started chanting "a b c d e" at him. Too cute. She has also figured out when to say "excuse me" and "bless you". If nothing else, my kids will have manners.
Byron had a "guest" in his shower this morning, which explains why the cats have been on stakeout in there for a couple days. Found a mouse huddled on top of the shower curtain rod, trying to escape tabby doom. By had to catch the poor thing himself, though, and chuck it outside.
Finished sewing on a doll dress last night, after cutting a replacement for the missing sleeve. Which I found this morning, of course. I'll probably cut another dress out of that fabric, just to make use of it. Have four more dresses traced and ready to cut, as soon as I find the iron for doing hems.
Have an idea for a new doll, which I may pursue a little today if the kids allow. More on that if it works. And I got an idea for how to execute an idea that's been percolating for a month or so, how to do tiny hems on satin ribbon for a fancy skirt. (It involves simply sealing the cut edge with glitter nail polish.)
