i know, it's been a while. we've been busy the past few days, but for some reason i can't think of any clever or funny, or even interesting things to blog about. adella's napping now, after a morning of fun at babysitting co-op. during my three hours of freedom i went to (where else?) the yarn store, and stocked up on yarn for a few projects i have planned. then i went to the fabric store and bought some nice soft fabric for a skirt i've been wanting to make since last spring. i brought it home and got to work, and almost finished it before it was time to pick adella up. all i've got left is the hemline, and then i'm done! i'll post pictures when i've finished. there is a lot of leftover fabric, and i'm thinking of making a matching skirt for adella. how cheesy is that? very, i know. but i can't resist. trust me - it will be cute. this weekend at work was crazy busy. at least six of my patients had the flu and/or respiratory nasty bug, and one of them died on sunday morning. plus the ususal short-staffing problems. needless to say, it was not the best weekend at work. stig had a fun weekend though. he had a gig at harrah's casino in cherokee, and got to see willie nelson play while he was there! saturday night he went to a party . and not just any party - there were fire dancers! he took some pretty neat pictures of the swirly fire action, which i will post later. the blogger picture uplading is acting funny now. adella has been her usual sweet wonderful self. she has really been talkng so much lately. i wish i had a tape recorder to tape all of the cute funny things she says. she's back to calling me 'mom' again, but only first thing in the mornings. she'll wake me up saying, "mom. mom - c'mon mom! 'tup (get up) 'tup!" she loves to play a hide-and-seek sort of game, where she will hide and sing, "mommy! aaaare you?" or to her toys, "duckie! aaaare you?" sometimes she'll hide and i'll say, "adella - where are you?" and she'll say, "gone!" or like last night, as she was laying on the floor, "floor!" so cute. so i'll get around to taking some new pictures soon and put them up for you to see. that's all for now - i think we are going to a movie later. 'chicken little' is showing at the $2 theater, so i thought it would be fun to take adella this afternoon. plus, they have pizza and popcorn, so we can't go wrong.
