Doll Dress

Since I am stuck in bed, I have Been designing a doll dress which I will post for free on the internet. This one gives people more of a choice for dressing the Berenguer Baby Steps doll(tm). Not to say I didn't learn from the other dress -- I learned exactly what not to do!

First off, baby yarn is too heavy for dressing those dolls. Fingering yarn is the way to go. And when you design a dress for a doll -- take into consideration, the age group is supposed to be, in this case, a toddler -- not a matron in a sausage dress.

My dress is a delicate shell stitch white dress, edged in baby green, it stands out from the dolls waist and stops short of their little chubby baby knees.

Crazy Behavior

Nick mind must be going! First off, I took a bad fall down the apartment steps and pulled the muscles in my left leg badly. He didn't want to waste the money to take me to the doctor! Kathy took me and paid for it. Then after Kathy left, he takes the brace off my leg ahd heaves it into his closet saying I didn't need it.

But the worst was yet to come -- he decided that my pain meds would stay on his schedule, not as needed. I went into shock yesterday evening, clammy, cold chills the whole bit, so I yelled at him until he gave me my pain pills.

I am trying to stick this marriage out but this is destroying my health!

What to do. I don't which way to go. Could someone give me some advice?

CATCHING UP

Not a lot to report, been making doll clothes for my Cabbage Patch kid, and my itsy bitsy dolls.

Got a new nickname for dear hubby. He is the "Bad News Bearer" who brings me my coffee and medication in bed, along with a dose of how the nation is going to hell in a handbasket. Personally, I could care less what the headlines are as long as I am not running naked, without a roof over my head, starving to death. All the rest is incidental!!!

And calling me the Queen of Procrastinators is not getting on my good side either. I don't procrastinate -- I merely will not do a thing if I am in pain and whatever needs doing will cause me more pain and is not a critical task!

I have to fill out my voter registration card so I can vote in this presidential election. And don't ask --I have been a life long Democrat! One Mamma for Obama.

Later, Tater

Who To Trust

Yesterday, I told Nick once again I wanted a divorce. And he said NO. The he added it won't do me any good to run away again, because my children are out here and they like him and will tell him where I am.

Well, I hope that's not true, because I am going to be running shortly. I can't take this being prisioner any more. Nick chased away friends, and family and if I try to get friendly with anyone-- I get third degreed about what I talk about,etc.

The Last Straw

What is the last straw for one? In my case, it is when someone goes through your underwear drawer because he wanted to know what you were looking at in your drawer! (For your information, a missing blue sock) which is precisely none of his business! At any rate, I will be leaving here next week -- will keep you updated on further developments as they happen!

It's Deja Vu all Over again.

He's at it again, first it was going everywhere with me, now it's the regimen again -- telling me when to get up, etc.

I can only see one way out of this and that is to take Walen for a walk and never return, leave here with just the clothes on my back. I will do that whenever my tax return comes or at the latest, my 60th birthday --- I refuse to live anymore time being bossed around, or being told I am too old, etc!

Repeat of Yesterday

Once again, Nick is trying to drive me crazy with his "I don't remember saying that." When we got the phone installed he told me I wasn't to give my son the number, which is why I got a cell phone, so I could give my number to whoever I please!

So yesterday, when I got a text message from James, he started yelling at me about having given that number out! I told him off at that point and he claims he never said James couldn't have the phone number and to go ahead and give him our home phone.

And why would I do that? I can't hear on his 99 cent store cheapy phone anyway, my cell phone has the earphone and mike and I can talk and hear on it!!!!

See why I hate him?
