my clothing jinx

I have really only made three pieces of clothing in my life - 1st was a pair of shorts that i spent hours on in sewing class and at home to wear to disneyland with my friends - the first day i wore them i moved too quickly and rip - i ripped the fabric so they were a goner - 2nd i made a beautiful blessing dress in high school for my kids and i spend hours sewing and hand stitching the fabric - and it made a lovely dress that gracie got to wear -but since it is looking more like gracie will be an only child -bam- the dress only got worn once - and 3rd this easter dress- i finished it late saturday night - the saturday after easter-
anyhow and when i finished it i turned to ben and said she had better not get this dirty because i don't know how well it will hold up in the wash -anyhow so sunday morning we get up i get gracie in the bath and do her hair and put her in her easter dress - well we still had a couple of hours until church started and that was where i went wrong - because about an hour before church starts ben brings me gracie and a soaken wet dress - oh yes gracie had peed in her dress while sitting in a chair and so the fabric was so kind and absorbed all the moisture - and so the dress had to be washed! at least my other clothing got to be worn out of the house this one didn't even make it to church!
anyhow we washed it later and suprisingly it held together so my one time only clothing wear jinx did not work this time! yahh - and maybe this sunday she can finally wear her easter dress hahah

my lucky day

Last week i was at my parents house when ben hands me his phone and tells me it is his sister breanna - anyhow so i answer and she asks me what i have planned for the next day, thursday, - and thinking she wants to do something i am vague in my answer and say just work but it is pretty flexible and then she drops the news - would i like to see Wicked tomorrow - and as my hearts starts racing i say of course - anyhow she proceeds to explain how her boss has this one ticket they aren't using because they are going out of town so would i like it- OF COURSE i want it- i was so excited because i had debated about waiting in the long lines to try and get a ticket but since ben had already taken me to see it in chicago i while back i thought i could survive without going this time - anyhow so i tell breanna of course i want to go and then i told her to tell her boss that i was very happy that they had hired her so that i could get this ticket! because of course that was why she got that job so i could go hahaha - anyhow so i got to go see wicked - and just for the record i felt guilt for about five seconds and thought about giving the ticket to someone else who hadn't seen it but then i realized they wouldn't really know what they were missing and i would so i had better use the ticket - i know i am horrible :) so that was my lucky day i got to go see wicked the second day it opened and i loved every second of it and if anyone else wants to give me a free ticket i will gladly use it for them as well - i know i am selfless like that what can i say hahaha

disneyworld

i changed the design of my blog in honor of the month that we get to leave for disneyworld yah - i can't wait!

my love-hate relationship

i really enjoy going to the gym and it makes me happy that i have accomplished something - and also it makes me not feel quilty about eating my chocolate :) - anyhow but there are two machines i really hate but also love at the gym the first is this stupid stair stepper called the gauntlet - and let me tell you it is pure misery - i sweat so much on the machine that when i am done i can literally wring my hair out because it is so wet that it is dripping sweat onto the top of the machine - below is a picture of the cursed machine - however - after i get off i feel so good about myself and happy that i made it to the end so i can't decide if i love it or hate it but on saturday i decided i really didn't like it because i sweated so much on my ipod that it doesn't work anymore - it got too much water damage -

The other machine that i really have mixed feelings about is this machine below called the butt buster - and it really is that - you are on your hands and knees pushing weight up - anyhow the entire time i am on this machine i am thinking about how great it will be to be done - but it is the same thing once i am done i am happy that my rear end is tightening up - so that is why i do it even though i hate it so much

gracies room

well it is nothing spectacular- however, it is done which in its self makes me very happy - ben still is not such what he thinks about the pink - but gracie loves it and tells everyone that her room is pink - so i guess it is worth it :)

horrible mother :)

so have you ever had those moments when you realize that you are a horrible mother :) - well that was me this morning - last night gracie was freaking out about going to bed so i just left her in her room to have a hissy fit at the door and i could hear her eventually fall asleep bawling at the door with her fingers under the door just reaching out - anyhow so i went to bed and around three i heard her crying in her room - well i figured she had just woken up because it was uncomfortable sleeping on the floor - so i just let her cry herself to sleep again - it was only for about 15 minutes - so in the morning i go to get her out of her room and she is just sitting on the floor playing with her toys like nothing happened - so i come in to play with her and i notice her hair looks funny - which she gets really bad bed hair so that wasn't out of the ordinary - anyhow upon further inspection i realize that there are chunks of food in her hair - yes her is the climax - gracie had thrown up last night and spent the night sleeping in her vomit!!! -- aahhh - i felt so horrible - however i think i served my punishment - trying to wash that stuff out of her hair almost made me sick- however i think for the next few months - when gracie crys during the night - i am at least going to check on her - poor child - hahahah

pathetic, i know

So i had been slowly painting the house and when i was doing the living room the tv had to come off the wall and ben put it on the couch - well one morning i came into the living room and this is what i saw - pathetic, i know - first because gracie is crouched up on the couch and is just inches away from the tv and second because this made me think that our tv is way too big - hahahah
