Family Day


Yesterday we had a BBQ for my daughter at my place - it was nice having most of the family together - my son that was in Calif. has now ventured to Flagstaff so he was MIA.

It was an afternoon of swimming and eating with only one injury. My granddaughter Madison ended up getting hit in the nose with my grandson's head. We thought her nose was broken, but thankfully it's just bruised.

Before the family get together and the nose injury I gave my 12 year old granddaughters a quick sewing lesson. They both made a throw pillow and now they're moving on to designing maxi dresses. The plan for tomorrow is to go to the fabric store so they can begin designing and sewing - should be interesting!

After the BBQ my husband and I stayed at The Pointe for the night (a gift from our kids) and I ate my favorite food in bed; french fries along with the best carrot cake, and of course, we sipped on wine.  


Now it's time to focus on my laundry - have a great Sunday!

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
