Looks easy, think I'll try this here in a lil bit.
Alyssa's sick. Would be much better if it was just a normal kid with a cold, but OH NO! I just HAD to get a kid with asthma!!!
So far, gotten one breathing treatment done, and she puked on me. I'm tellin ya, if I had five of these, I'd be bald and smelly!

Okies, hehehe You have the disposition and patience that I could only dream of.

I think I found the tea fairy! Now I need to find the coffee fairy and make her grant me some wishes for lots of coffee.

Sk

I hope Alyssa feels better! Asthma sucks. I have it too, and going out to the coop is always a morning attack at least.

Snow snow snow and more snow. The kids will have fun, even if they didn't get a snow day.

At least I don't have to drive her 6 miles to school any more. I need to get me a snow suit.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Yahooooo!!!!!

I just got my squares!!!!!!

Oh ladies......let me tell you they are worth the wait ........ Very Beautiful!!!!!!! I just love them!!!!

SE Thanks you soooooo much for the cute chick stitch marker.

Who made the little chick? Was that you, Maw? Oh it is so so cute!

Everyone's squares are so so nice. I just can't thank everyone enough!!!!

I'm not sure if you saw my post. I was out of town last week. I had to unexpectedly fly home to Fla for my friend's mom's funeral. I couldn't remember my password, so I used another friend's username (Weaver2) that lives in Fla to post. She just signed up and I hogged her first post.

She just got some chickens about a month ago. Oh, they are so cute!!!!! I missed my babies all week, but was able to get my chick fix by snuggling her cute little feather footed assorted ones.

I have lots of pages to read to catch up on. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

The temps are suppose to drop for us today also. We may see a few flakes, but not sure. It was pretty nice today, but wet & soggy from last nights rain.

Have a great day and stay warm!!!!
Kim

Skand...I understand completely! I am an asthmaitc myself, since birth. I have my oldest (21) and youngest (4yo autistic son) that both have asthma. My middle, 7yo girl is the only "healty as a horse" kid in the family....the other two and me....look out when winter comes :-(

That pattern does look quite easy.....would make a neat afghan with many of them together1

Ok here's my formal Good Morning!

Still sick....darn cold/cough crap!!!

Even though I felt rotten, I made a HUGE dent in my housework yesterday!

Trying to motivate myself to finish today, not sure if I'll make it or not....would rather sit and watch the snow fall and crochet.

Gotta at least get a shower first, then I'll decide how I feel. LOL

Catch you all tonight!
