A month

So I have been slacking off in blogging..it has been a crazy time. In a nutshell...hip replacement surgery scheduled for 8/31/09, lots o freak moments, being a mom, back to school shopping, banking blood for surgery, working, dr appts, working, school started, training sister and her wife to cover for me while in hospital, freaking out about being in hospital for 2-3 days, working, being a mom and realizing that my baby and hubby will be on their own for 2-3 days, freaking out about missing family while in hosp, etc...

So that about sums it up... Other than the whole anesthesia and risks of a major surgery...uh oh I feel another panic attack...

GREATEST INVENTION EVER!!

Okay...so we are redoing the Princess' room and the continuing saga of stuffed animals has happened again. If you have a child you understand what I am saying..especially a girl child. We donate usually a trash bag size of stuffed animals every year.
Well..she has gotten it down to her favorites and I was looking for a storage solution and I FOUND IT!!...
Now all of these

and all of these
and these


NOW LIVE IN THIS...the greatest invention EVER!.

It is called A Stuffed Animal Storage bag and SEAT. It is made by Boon and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT (and so does Princess). She wanted a beanbag chair but I didn't want the mess from the "beans". This does double duty.
Company website: Boon, Inc
I did a search & bought here: Just Kids
The price is a bit high..but let me tell you..it is worth every hard earned penny.
This one is pretty huge and works perfect for us.
(They also have a size smaller and a size bigger.)
Why the heck didn't I think of this???

B-days

Sometimes birthdays don't always turn out the way you want...so one has to splurge on oneself..so I did.


A book by my favorite author and my i-P*d touch...better than any fattening cake or Hallmark card. LOL
