Red again!

So in typical Stacy fashion I get bored easily. Time for a new color! It has been a while since I tried Henna so decided to give it another whorl!

The application is always a treat. Nothing like putting baby poo on your head!

To my surprise...it took and pretty well too! This picture doesn't show it that well I will try and get one outside but it is much more red. I like next time I will probably leave on just a little bit longer hopefully get a more vibrant red.

Hump day

So this morning we got the permanent grown. This was the last step before starting treatment on the lower braces. So when I went in for the tightening on top they added the spacers for the lower braces. On June 11th I get the lower braces :-)! He commented on how much they have moved already which is good. He said my treatment is going to go very well. It's true I can already see the fangs are dropping! I took a pole on facebook of what color to get this time and pink was the winner so I have pink bands this time. I promised Shaun I would get Red next time.

The trip to B'more took 1:30 yesterday. Not sure if I can deal with that every week. I am going to look into some other options and see what I can work out. I need to be moving again so hopefully we can find a way.

I'm so looking forward to this party this weekend. If it involves as much laughter as this past weekend did...it is gonna be awesome. Again little distractions for the moment are much needed and much appreciated. I laughed so hard my face and abs hurt! Good friends good times. Then back to work for one day...the after dropping the kids off at grandmas we are on a plane and OUTTA HERE! Well just for a few days but that too is much needed. Just to have my butt on a beach for a few days I so can't wait.

Trial run to B'more

So tonight we are taking a stab at rush hour traffic to see how long it will take us to get to Baltimore at 5:00. Kare has invited me to teach beginner Belly dance lessons at her home studio prior to Tuesday night craft night. I do miss dancing but due to the braces I am pretty sure my dance career is on hold at the moment. So if I can rustle up a few students and the commute is not too bad I'm gonna start teaching a Tuesday class. Should be fun :-)

I have found myself dancing around more often. Evy song I hear beckons me to dance. It flows strong in me and when the urge comes I must dance. I am actually hoping to get enough students to cover my travel costs and to have money left over to be taking classes. I figure I should really be focusing the next two years on improving my dancing so when the braces come off I can come back on the scene with a bang! So here's hoping the trip is tolerable!

As promised a few pictures...

A few pics from the family being in Old Town for Mother's day. There was a pretty cool tall ship in town for the weekend. I love taking pictures of mast's. Don't know why, there is just something cool about all of the rigging and stuff.

Yup...you heard me right! LOL! Sorry I have not been posting lately. I have a lot going on at the moment and I have been trying to steer away from posting when I am fuming. I was doing very well, out of ICU into recovery. Then I had the wounds re-opened on me last week and I am back in ICU. I spent most of the weekend treating the wounds with alcohol. Sadly that didn't help. Sigh...you know I so can't wait to put my butt on that beach in 9 days! Just to get the hell away from everything and everyone...ok not everyone, certain people, for a few days is gonna be nice. The only sad thing about vacations is eventually they end and your problems are there waiting when you get back. I do have some pictures I need to post from the past two weeks. I will try and get those up tonight. 9 days till holiday!!! Weeeeeee!

It's just another day...

Can I just say it is nice to see the sun for a day or so! Gheezz I felt like I was back in Ireland the rain just would not stop! All kinds of things going on lately. I have been spending a lot of time on my own for two reasons. A. I'm broke and can't afford to go out. and B. I have been doing a little house keeping in the head. :-) Yeah, been doing a lot of thinking. Good things though, well they don't always start as good things. Sometimes they start with sad thoughts but then good things come out of it. I am starting to come to peace with a lot of things. It's a good feeling actually. I thank god everyday that I have such amazing friends and family around me. I wonder sometimes how I would have made it through my hard times without them.

Things are going a little slower with the kids than anticipated. But we are getting there. I had Ludo fixed Saturday so we are hoping that is gonna help calm his little fuzzbutt down and help with the bonding process. They are so cute they make me laugh. Mindy is doing well. I think here little chewing bought is over thank god! She was chewing on her food bowls like crazy. I thought at first she may have been mad about the kids but at the same time she just goes through stages where she is very bad for a while then fine. Who knows, she would appear to be ok now though.

I had my annual review at work and it went better than I had hoped. I was not anticipating a raise since I got a promotion in August with a pretty big raise. But I still got a nice little raise which will hopefully help with reason A. Fortunately the areas I am weak in are not really my fault. They are things that I have just not been exposed to, but we are going to work on getting me acclimated to them. I have been super busy at work which is good. Work has been another big thing on my mind but in a good way. I know how lucky I am to be in a awesome job. I also know that if I keep my nose clean I can really go places with this. So I have decided to focus really hard on this job and give it 110%. I am even looking at taking some classes to brush up on a few things.

So all in all I am slowly getting myself sorted out. Something I know I need to do before I will be able to open myself up again to the thought of another. I need to let go of the hate and hurt first. And I think I am on the road to that goal.

Cheers!

Moving on....

Today is another day...for happy tales of the weekend at Maryland Sheep and Wool, please go to the Knitting Blog, Knit Wit Knitters. Lots of pictures of the fun and frolic there :-) Including a few of me fondling balls ;-)

Brain shut down...please!

Ugh...10:30 Sunday night. My head hurts. I just want to sleep but I find my brain in overdrive. I hate when this happens. One thought leads to another to another to another. Once it starts you can't stop it. It's like the flood gates open and out pours everything...

It starts with my head hurts...

Hmm hope it's not turning into a migraine. That would suck. That would mean its not the wisdom teeth causing the migraines either. Ugh wisdom teeth forgot...that came after the root canal. Insurance just sent something saying they weren't covering the root canal. Great...they probably aren't going to cover the extractions either. Where the hell am I gonna get the money to cover all of this. I think I bit off more than I could chew. God I hope all of this is gonna be worth it in the end. Maybe I could pick up a shift dancing again. Probably not with the braces. Why did I do this again? Oh yeah because you have always wanted to do this but were worried what people were gonna think of you with the braces. You finally did it because you had someone in your life who thought you would be sexy with braces wanted you to have a bigger ass couldn't wait till you were pregnant and fat. In short loved you no matter what. Yeah where is he now? Gone...yeah aparently that ws not true. What the hell why am I even thinking about this you are over this right!? You are so pissed off you aren't allowing the hurt and pain...aparently not because your laying here thinking about it and getting upset. Shit...maybe you are just ovulating as lyn says. Explains being emotional. 90% of the time I'm fine I forget about it and everything is fine. I put on a good front don't I...? Ugh now head really hurts. Please stop...How do I make this stop? Maybe if I blog it and get it all out of my head the brain will shut down and the pain will go away? I feel sick...ugh need a tissue. The pain is not going away...yup it's a migraine :-(...
