I am so angry right now! Today has not been a good day. I guess I should voice my thoughts to people first so I do not get upset with others!!
I am so happy for having a job but everything else in our life is still crap. Now all of this with James' sister on top of everything else. It's too much. I guess it's time to go back the counselor.

Teal Ribbons
As if enough had not gone wrong this year for my family, we were given another blow today. About three weeks ago my younger sister in law was having abdominal pain. They did a scan and found a large mass in her abdomen. It ended up being a seven inch, three pound tumor that was the size of a football. It was removed as was her ovary and fallopian tube. After running blood tests and doing a full body scan, four more tumors were found through out her body. She now has been diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer and she is only nineteen years old. She begins chemo therapy tomorrow.
It is such a shock. I don't even know who to feel. I am utterly devastated and freaked out behind words. What kind of world is this? Why does this crap happen to us?

for our girls
Dear Abigail and Emily,
Although your due date was July 23, Dr. King said she would not let you two go past 38 weeks. 38 weeks is today, July 9. Daddy thinks you would have shown up on 4th of July, while I think you would have shown up around June 21. Instead you showed up 18 weeks too soon.
You two left a gaping hole in our lives, but you also left such immense love. You were loved the first time we saw the double lines. You were loved even more the ultrasound when Dr. King said she may have seen two of you. And even more during the sonogram when it was confirmed, there were two of you. With each week you grew, we heard your hearts racing, we kept positive when they told us Abby had such low fluid. I felt you move and talked to you two to fall asleep every night. You were so loved. We never imagined we would lose you both. It hit us like a ton of bricks. You were both so tiny, you did not scream, you breathed and let go. We got to hold you and give you kisses and tell you how loved you were.
You were loved not only by your mamma and daddy, but by your grandparents, your aunts and uncles, you great grandma, your cousins, your great aunts and great uncles, all of our friends and many, many others. Your short lives touched so many people.
I will carry you with me until my dying day. Everything I do is for you two and your memory. You will live on in us, in your future siblings, and especially in the love your daddy and I have for each other because you two were born from that love.
We love you more than anything and think of you always.
Your Mama and Daddy

Pinterest- Citrus Garland
I found this on pinterest. The women who did it got the idea from a citrus coaster set she found on a blog. I went on etsy and found tons of these coasters but I did not have the money to get them. I also do not sew. After a suggestion from a friend, I decided to get the felt and glue the felt with fabric glue.
It worked out well. The felt was $.29 a sheet at Michael's one of each color will make 3 each. Plus two sheets of white. I used white ribbon. I did not double up the back like the previous bloggers above did.
The garland does not hang without twisting as the felt is too heavy, it needs to be fastened tight, flat, and close to straight across.

Preschool Sensory Activity Teeth Health
I help my friend once a week at her preschool. This week is dental health week. I created this after seeing it online.
I cut the bottoms of four water bottles and taped them on a piece of wood. I made a past with water and baking soda and the kids used a brush to brush the teeth. I taught them a song, "up like the sun, down like the rain, back and forth like a cho cho train.
In hindsight I wish I would have gas some rope or twin so they could floss the teeth and also some bigger brushed.

Pinterest- 4th of July Yarn Wreath
After seeing this on pinterest I thought it would be a good idea. I used a straw wreath, but in hind sight I wish I would have used a foam wreath. The straw was difficult even with the plastic on.
