Simple yet VERY time consuming!!!
I LOVE Prima paintables paper!!!
I colored in the white background black, and then used my watercolor pencil crayons & blender pen to fill in the words.

Treat for si
I was feeling motivated on Sunday, so I found this template on the net, and made a little book for Si to bring to Florida to collect all of his autographs.
crazy weather
On our way home from the allergist, the weather was great until I hit Lettelier.....Then I panicked...I felt like someone covered my eyes with a blindfold....From Letellier to Altona, I could NOT see anything. I didnt know if I was in the ditch, on the road, and if I was on the road I had no clue which lane I was in...WOW!!!!
It's one thing when it's just your life thats in danger, but I had my 4 year old son sleeping in the back, and it's a whole new thing when you have a life that depends on you for safety.
Let's just say I prayed the entire way home, I was shaking, and pretty much terrified.
I was so thankful when we got home....I could not stop shaking and hugging my precious son!!!
This ride made me realize how thankful I need to be that I am here and okay!!!!

allergist
Last Thursday, I had my first allergist appointment, and let's just say it was a big disappointment.
After testing, with zero results she said that it's likely nothing showed up because my reaction was barely a month ago.
So, this is what she said:
1)Because I am not having a reaction to Peanut Butter, I can likely eat peanuts from shells. Ground nuts is likely not an allergy for me
2)Pistachios are 100% an allergy for me....We just don't know if that is a life threatening one, or less serious.
3)We couldnt find out which other nuts I am allergic to, but she said she thinks there are one or more tree nuts where I have a lift threatening allergy to, so.....
This is what I need to start doing:
a)Carry 2 epi pens with me at ALL times(2 in case I am further then 20 minutes away from a hospital, and one dose isnt successful)
b)Educate others about my allergy and make them aware of what to do, if I have a reaction, and Can't use epi-pen myself
c)Stay away from ALL tree nuts(pecans, pist, walnuts, Brazil, walnuts, cashews, chestnuts, etc)
d)When grocery shopping, stay away from items that say "may contain traces of nuts) Because even if it isnt a tree nut I am allergic to, it may have been touching a nut I am allergic to.
e)If I want a dessert at a restaurant, I need to ask if they made it there, and if yes then I need to find out the ingredients, and if they had the desserts brought in, I am better off staying away from it.
SO>>>>>>>>
Needless to say, this will be a big change in my life.

Help??
Si isnt home right now, and I was wondering if anyone can help me?
Is it possible to block specific people from viewing a blog?
Im asking this because there are a few people whom I am not at all comfortable looking at my son's private life. They have done nothing positive for him, so I feel like why should they get to invade his privacy? They are people whom I dont trust, and I would feel a lot safer if I knew they werent lurking around on here.
Help please?
