Actually, when we lived in Wichita (back in the Stone Age... Fred & Wilma Flintstone lived next door), we were in a tornado lock-down in our basement, which just happened to be where my sewing studio was & when they sounded the all clear signal, I was so engrossed in the blocks I was working on (a Maple Leaf quilt made from my Grandmother's scraps... don't even get me started on that fiasco), I finally looked up & my family had long since gone above-ground. That is dedication!

ok we had quite the excitement today...
Im forever losing my phone- well this time i didnt lose it but left it in the house as i had to get some bulbs in the ground before they die on me.. Im soooo not the gardener type but they were on clearance and they looked pretty.. During the time i was beautifying the lawn my lil get one gets poked in the eye while playing tag- eye gets washed and shes fine.. Later in the day (3pm actually)- its 10 min before shes to hop in the bus and go home she is crying that her eye hurts...well of course it hurts- SHE GOT POKED in the eye !!!! So the nurse keeps her and calls (leaves a message on my cell) to tell me she is not on the bus but would like for me to pick her up since shes crying.. Hmmm the message does no good since its inside and im outside waiting for the bus- all the while covered in dirt, knees blacked from the soil, grass and twigs in my scrangly hair- I am gardening btw- who ever keeps clean anyway ?!?!? ... Low and behold a friend comes driving up sys my frantic hubby called her to come looking for me that the nurse had contacted him three times already.. Oh great ! I call the nurse (its 430 btw- the same time the bus woul dof dropped her off had she been on it) and she explains the situation- definitely not an emergency. I hang up and my neighbor shows up- apparently Frantic daddy called her to come looking for me as well .. Sheesh... So I get her at 5pm- we are 20 miles away from the school -now mind you, no time for a shower or change of attire, let alone a brush thru my hair !!!! I went as is.. ..I call hubby and tell him shes fine, and let him know what the school nurse said- he knew this already, hes talked to her THREE TIMES ALREADY !!!. BUT hubby not satisfied with the school nurse's take on the situation- Sooooooo I take her to Urgent care as hubby is strong arming me to do so - Now its 7:45 and im in the urgent care only for the doctor to tell me that its a small scratch on her eyeball and will heal itself by tomorrow.. I knew it ! I knew it ! I knew it !!! Home by 845..finally !! yea nothing is close around here unless you count cow patties, them are everywhere..... Ugh..
I got quite a few boxes.. I had to relive my evening with you all and now lil one is in bed so i can go peek- Her eye is better- we have one magical eye patch I tell ya- it magically makes the pain go away when she has it on but when she takes the patch off shes dyin of eyeball pain... can we say 'drama queen' ?
Calgon take me away !!!!!
... And that is a day in the life of a Turtle...

Well, sweetie, y'know what they say -- "Adorable is in the eye of the beholder" (unlike whatever was in Turtle's eye or the proverbial sharp stick in the eye). You say "tomato", my kids say "blabby". But thank you for the compliment. I accept all compliments, squishy packages (that didn't sound right, but go with me on this) & all the Dr. Pepper a body can hold.

Weren't you just musing about a girl dreaming? There's only so much of me to go around (tho it's growing by the day). Be careful what you wish for... I've been known to parade around out in the backyard in my jammies. That'll give you waking nightmares, girl friend! Hey, we live 6 miles past nowhere & our property backs up to woods so I figure it's my civic duty to give the little critters back there a thrill.
