Day of Rest?

Today around two o'clock I started having pains that could only be described as........... contractions. Yeah. I was scheduled for an appointment with my OB at 4:30 so I just waited until I went in to see him before calling him about it- or telling my husband. The doctor did an exam and concluded that everything is fine for the time being. He ordered me to go home, increase my fluids and sit on my butt for the remainder of the evening. Hmmm. So I decided to take in an art show....................


Snap some pictures of my goofy girl.....................

No, my children are rarely clothed. They leave their clothes on in public (most of the time) but as soon as we get home they strip down. Honestly with as hot as it was today I don't blame them as I would be doing the same thing. If I could get away with it!!

Then I decided to sit on my butt and do this.............

I made a little skirt and attached it to my vanity table. And then I sat on my butt some more and did this....................

I reupholstered an old chair that my Grandmother gave me. Isn't it cute all dressed in toile???

And then my husband came home. Uh Oh! And he informed me that this type of "sitting on my butt" wasn't exactly what my doctor had had in mind. Huh? Bummer. So I decided to play around with this..............

My wonderful husband got me a new toy!! There isn't really anything wrong with our current camera................. nothing major anyway. I just missed our last one (a Canon). It was easy to use and all of the pictures turned out fabulous. It made me feel like a real photographer and when it took it's last breath I do admit that I cried. It was a good camera and we experienced so much together. But now I have a new one and I am so excited!

I also wanted to share some of my cool new treats that I picked up at a yard sale on Saturday. The rest of the stuff is still in the van- how lazy can we get?

I got this cute galvanized tub for $5!! I rolled my quilts and sat it by the fireplace. Don't worry- I will move the quilts when we use the fireplace!!

Fun, huh? And one thing I was probably most thrilled about was and is this.............

Now this is no ordinary flag................ this flag only has 48 stars on it. It isn't super rare, I know, but it is special to me. I had a flag like this for years. It was given to me by a very dear friend who is no longer with us. About 6 years ago the flag was stolen and I was heartbroken. Now this isn't that particular flag but it is still neat that I found one with the 48 stars. I have been looking since the last one was taken and this is the first one I have come across. And I got the lady to take $6 for it!!! It is in perfect condition and smells like cedar......... someone took care of it.

So anywho, that was my day. Sitting on my butt.............. resting............bored to tears.........thinking of all the fun stuff I could be doing.....................but here I sit. Oh well, tomorrow is another day!!!!!!!!
