Weekend wrap-up



Laundry done
My bathroom done
playroom done


A clean house to start of the week is the best feeling in the world. However it did not come without a fight and some disagreements. My husband does not seem to understand how good it feels to have a clean house and wake up and start your week off that way. He had things he wanted to do and I had what I felt I needed to do.

Now I have time this week to get started on some crafts.I can't wait!!

Review: ScotchBright Glass Stovetop Cleaner

I purchased this because I heard good reviews about it. My Granny bought it and she says that it does wonders. I mean it is overall good but I felt it left a shine on my stove. I had to put more elbow grease in to use it then I do the cleaner that I buy. They say it is easy. I would rather just use the Easy Off brand.

Here is the website link

This is the one that I like to use. I just get a non scratch scrubbing bad and that works better!!

Sewing: Ugly Doll


I was looking through blogs and I saw these Ugly doll things. I knew that would be easy to make.

I took some scraps and buttons and went to town.

I drew my pattern on a 8" x 11" piece of paper. It looked cute at that point. The fabric I chose was a bit bulky so it did not turn out how I expected. It is still cute though!!!

Here she is... I will name her Pinkey

I like to play with poop

Not really. That is what I had to do this week though.
Prince had a doctor appointment with a GI doctor due to some tummy issues. They wanted me to get 5 samples and take to the lab. So I had the mommy job of playing wit poop!

Memories

This picture brings back memories of fishing with my dad and Granny growing up.

Going early fishing to get the best fish. Or the best fish for a 7 year old. I miss those days.

Growing up in Florida its the simple things in life that make a child's memories.

Frustration of speech

Or lack there of.

My Prince is 21 months and has a language level of a 12 month old. We have taken him to verious places for help. We tried First 5, he didn't like that. He didn't want to play with the other kids. He wanted to sit in my lap and play. He was the oldest child there and all of the others didn't talk either. I really do not see that as any help to him because it is not helping him talk and communicate with his peers.
We had a speech eval at Childerns Hospital here in San Diego. The pathologist did a rather LONG eval and in the end told me what I already knew. He is moderate to severely delayed in his speech and needs therapy. Then she proceeded to tell me that it will be 6 weeks befor he will be able to get in because they have a back up. Well, I gave it a shot. At the bottom of my gut, I had a feeling it was not going to work. As our situation is getting worse I know there is something I have to do I can't wait. I did a Google for speech therapy for here in town and I found one. So far I have heard wonderful things about it.
This morning within 2 hours I knew there was something I had to do. After such a rough day yesterday and it starting today I had to call someone for answers. I called the regional center here and they are going to do another eval as well as have someone who deals with behavior come out and help me. I hope we get this under control. Its nuts really!

Wish us luck!
