Raggedy Old Annies: {some updates}

Okay...really GOOD NEWS first! My mom had a pet scan done (for her Lymphoma) and the doctor called her that same day and told her everything looks GREAT! So they'll do bloodwork in 3 months and another pet scan in 6 just to make sure everything stays the same. This news makes me so happy!!!!

School is going great for Christopher. He's "big man" on campus this year. And he was asked to be a "teachers assistant" for a PE period as one of his electives. He's loving that! Messing with all the "scrubs", enjoying having to take something from them when they need "loaners" for PE clothes. ugh. I guess he forgets being the newbie on campus. His age right now is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs (just like his voice). He can be super nice (usually when he wants something) and then flip and give me such attitude (usually when he doesn't get what he wants). So far this week, he has lost his cell phone...because I check up on it..and found that he was texting during school. BIG NO NO! He said it was in band class....down time because she was fitting students for uniforms. So being the nosey mom that I am, I emailed her and asked her if she allowed that during down times. um...."no" was the answer. Just what I thought. Busted. It's been actually nice though, being able to sit down at the dinner table and have a conversation, without him so worried about his phone buzzing in his pocket, unable to answer it because I won't allow it at the dinner table. It sits here on my desk, and I periodically check it to see what he's missing..lots of text's.....does he not tell his friends he's lost it? And then the girl situation. ugh. Ups and downs with girls. He wanted ME to buy him something to give her! um NO! And then just like that, they broke up. yeah, saw that coming, even though he didn't believe me. When it comes to advice on all this, he doesn't want to listen to me, like I'm stupid or something and have no clue what he's talking about, and then he just tells me that he doesn't want to talk to me because "i'm a girl". yeah, a girl who's been there for him through EVERYTHING and a girl that would do ANYTHING for him, but I don't see him asking someone else to help buy a present for me! ugh again! These boys need to learn that if they treat their mommas like gold, girls will LOVE them for it! Get it straight! duh! It makes sense right? so anyway, I've told him NO MORE dating girls! He can like them, have a crush on them, think they are cute, call them and text them, but until he can financially and physically take them on a date, do not call her a girlfriend! I know, I'm mean! But after hearing what I heard this week on what these teenagers are doing, and seeing a girl not too much older than him preggo at the store with her mom....I WILL HAVE NONE OF IT! alrighty...here's a cute picture of took of him at the beginning of summer.

I finished up some new dolls and put them on my website last night. It felt good. REALLY good! I was inspired to make more. So I went and bought some much needed supplies. Then off to good ole icky Walmart for stuffing...and guess what...NONE! ugh! And I needed ink for my printer, so over to Target for that...and guess what...NONE! what is up with that! Stores are just not stocking stuff anymore..and I get that, I understand it...but why does it have to be the stuff I NEED and USE? Anyway......back to my dolls. I put them on my website last night...and fully intented to blog it this morning...and got sidetracked. whoops. Here is what is new. and you can hop over to my website to see them.

I was looking through some old Raggedy Old Annies pictures the other day and came across some old show pictures. I MISS THESE DAYS!

Well, since I can't stuff because I don't have enough stuffing, I guess I'll go make some doll dresses and take advantage of this extremely HOT weather that I'm melting in! I'm not running the a/c, my choice, because I can't afford it...and well...it's not helping with my motivation. I get very heat sick and it's making me drag!

Stay cool everyone!

GREAT news about your momma; so glad!

FYI, you are the stupidest mom in the world until he turns 19. I had my turn until my daughter turned 19. We all go through it. He'll come back around.

Cute,cute, cute annies!
