OK, now we all have our hopes up! The geophones on the mine picked up intense noise coming from one area of the mine where they are trying to find 6 trapped miners! You can find out more here. It's really amazing information!

I spent the evening in the emergency room with my dear husband. Our garage door busted (got jammed and wouldn't go down all the way) and my husband went out to see what was wrong with it and the next thing I knew, he was bleeding and missing teeth! :( The tension bracket that hooks the door to the cable is completely broken in half on the one side of the door! He had to get 17 stitches and we'll be visiting the orthodontist tomorrow! What a day!

Well, I have something different for you today! Maria (from Digifree) sent me a quick page she made using my double template from the sketch challenge. She made these gorgeous papers that she used with it. So, the freebie comes from both of us! Thanks so much Maria for sending me something I could give away after a stressful day! I'll have side A for you today and I'll put side B up for you tomorrow! I only have 12x12 for you at this time. Here it is:

Make sure you visit Maria's blog (Molly 'n Max) and tell her thanks too!

Oh and I hope your DH is okay! He's lucky it wasn't more serious. Scary stuff. That mining accident is awful. My dad is a geologist so I'm always sad to hear about mine accidents.

Hi Andrea, thanks again for the QP [and to maria :)].

I hope your DH is gonna be ok and that the dentist can fix his teeth. Good news on the miners, I can't even imagine what its like down there. Not knowing when or even if they will be rescued.

Thanks for todays freebie! I did go pass along the thank you's too! One thought... when I opened it up it's named the same as the .png that came with the original template (so I renamed the 1st one). I figured I'd let you know in case you want to change it at 4shared.
I hope you DH gets fixed up! OUch!

I hope your DH is okay. That doesn't sound like much fun.

Lovely page! It is so nice of both of you kind ladies to share this with me! I hope your husband is mending quickly. Sounds like a terrible accident. Who installed your garage door opener?

Thank you so much for the two templates. The Scottish kits really worked up nice in your templates.

Sorry to hear about your husband and his accident and I hope he gets well soon. I know that this might not help now, but I have been told that in an accident of that kind when a tooth gets knocked out if you put the tooth in milk and take it to a dentist soon he might be able to reattached it. It's terrible what it's happened to him I hope he gets well soon and best wishes. :)

Sorry about the miners and so sorry about the second accident the rescue team suffer. It's horrible, there's been several mining accidents of that kind in other places. There 172 miners in China trapped also by flooding water in the mine. It's a terrible job and very dangerous.

Best wishes to your husband and all you in your family and take care. :O)

My Little Ironies

  • I just had to tell my daughter that there was little probability that she could do eighty chores in two hours and 10 minutes to earn a giant lot of pet shops on Ebay that she wants to earn before the auction closes. That's at two chores per dollar. :)
  • We are helping my father sell an old vehicle and what do we find in the glove box...an unused 12 guage shotgun shell...that's my Dad!!
  • How does a three year old end up at church with no underwear on, especially when you dressed him and you know he had underwear on at one point during the morning?
  • The root of all toilet clogging evil is apparently a ball point pen and it's nearly impossible to dislodge one of those from the inside of a toilet.
  • You know you have to do some serious laundry when you actually consider wearing your 11 year old daughter's Hannah Montana shirt.
  • My 6 year old daughter got a comb stuck in her hair and we had to cut the comb into little bits to get it out of her hair.

  • My sand pile is full of socks!
  • The key to my treadmill is missing again...can I just purchase a bulk package of them???
  • I fixed my daughter's glasses with JB Weld!
  • I have a pile of sand on my leather couch.
  • My daughter lost her glasses in the snow on the way home from school in January. Someone found them in March and turned them into the school office! Amazingly enough, the school remembered we lost them in January. Wow!
  • Just when I think he knows better, my 10 year old son plugs the bathroom sink and the emergency drain in the sink basin to soak his grow creature, turns on the water, and forgets about it until we notice water flooding out from under the bathroom door! And yes, he locked the door so no one would bother the grow creature!!
  • It's time for another worn out pair of the hubby's pants to disappear! Aren't kids suppose to be the only ones who are attached to clothing?
  • My 4 year old says she needs "peace and quite"!!!!!
  • My Husband says there's a perfectly good reason for the leatherman being in my dish drainer.
  • I have a leatherman (fancy pocket knife) in my dish drainer. I don't know why.
  • My kids are storing a tumble weed in my garage for the winter!
  • My 10 year old son informed me that people have only discovered about half of the world's caves (thank you BBC and planet earth!)
  • My baby's car seat is full of finely crushed graham crackers (?? Little babies don't eat graham crackers)!
  • My husband's shoes are filled with Mr. Potato Head parts!

  • My kids are too full to finish their dinner, but they have plenty of room left for cake!
  • I have a giant laundry basket full of socks, and we can't find a single match!
  • Miscellaneous items found while cleaning out my kids' toy box include a flashlight, rocks (no suprise), a sea shell (we don't live by the sea), a drill bit, a stapler, and some tree bark!
  • My daughter's medical bills added up to about $18,000, but we got a free sippy cup and a ball signed by the Utah JAZZ Dancers!
  • I put safety locks on the tops of my outside doors to keep my three year old from escaping and she figured out how to open them with a broom in approximately five minutes.
  • I bought the EXPENSIVE vacuum this time only to find that my 3-year-old took it apart with a screwdriver!
  • I haven't showered for 3 days, but my house is clean!
  • I have 38 winter gloves of various sizes in my coat closet and none of them match.
  • We're out of peanut butter because my husband used the rest to catch a mouse in our garage!
  • Yes, my son won 1st place in the science fair at school, but he didn't turn in half of his assignments this term?
