Ah Heather- you remembered me! I totally agree with you on this. Big, BIG POO-POO, STUPID Heads!

But......

Have you seen the headlines in the paper today?

Sock Monkeys Give Disers Reason to Fear!

I don't want to scare anyone with the article, so I'll just post the pics and captions.

The super heroes of the Sock Monkeys have arrived in Chaquitaville to calm the anger of local residents as they contemplate what their next step will be.

Offended by recent unsolicited comments made about sock monkeys on the DIS boards, Mr. T says he "Pity's the Fool!" that has made disparaging remarks about Sock Monkeys.

Local teen Sock Monkey thinks Diser's are being unfair and close minded about the situation. "They not only talk about us this way, but now they're saying bad things about clowns. CLOWNS! What'd they EVER do to DISers I ask??"

Pictured below: Hurt and depressed: Sammy the Sock Monkey sits at the beach and quietly reflects on what he might have done to make people not like him. "I've never done anything to hurt a human being. I eat bananas, swing from trees and play a little sidewalk music with a wind up organ. I'm a law abiding monkey, yet..... they still feel this way? I just don't get it."

Thanks for the laugh!

I'm still working on"perfecting" my button technique. I find it easiest to glue the buttons on and then go and sew them on. I like all of the holes in the buttons to follow the lines of the mickey head. I am looking for the best glue to use for this. It needs to be something that holds well, but I want it to wash out completely. I made the mistake of using fabric glue on the first one I made and the outline I made with the fabric pen didn't wash off underneath the glue. I am using just regular elmers glue on the girls, but it is pretty brittle and the buttons keep coming unglued. I am going to try tacky glue, but I'm not sure that will wash out. I may just have to live with the elmers.

I use heavy duty thread and just sew on 3-6 buttons at a time and then start a new string. Shay Lynne's shirt was the toughest one I've done, because I used black thread and it was hard to tell against the black top when the thread was tangled in the back and not pulled all the way through.

I just realized as I was typing this that I forgot to put the backing on Shay Lynne's shirt that keeps all of the threads from rubbing against her skin. I better put a hunk in the mail today with instructions for her mom to iron it on! I'm such a dope!

I hope you are feeling better!

Have you tried wonder tape? It's water soluable tape - I've used it on ric rac to hold it down while I sew. I bet that would work for this button technique.

I made it over to the new thread.
I was MIA pretty much yesterday. Took Morgan to a "specialist" for her hand. We now have the "expert" medical opinion I pretty much knew what they were going to say. Now I need to come to terms with it.

I have always believed there was nothing "wrong" with her hand. It just doesn't look like everyone elses. Now we have the Medical professionals opinion and it seems to agree.
We have always believed God made her this way, and it would seem the Doctors can't disprove that. They don't have any other answers.

Sadly there is no "cure" for people who make stupid rude comments about it. I would have thought medical science had come farther than that

It's a shame that people are so stupid! I mean REALLY!

Oh KAREN!!!! You almost made me pee my pants!! Tessa was behind me saying "What? What? What?" She thought something was terribly wrong as my face turned red and I stopped breathing! So, not only did you almost make me pee my pants, but you also gave my poor little girl an anxiety attack!

You have really brightened my day. You are absolutely hilarious!! You really need to write a trip report!!!

That almost, almost, made me change my opinion of sock monkeys....

I am sorry for venting - but yall are my only Disney friends that understand. Everyone else thinks I am crazy and should be locked up because I like Disney too much!!

Aw man, that really stinks!! I always point people in the direction of expotv.com if they want to make a little extra cash!

I'm having a pettiskirt giveaway on my blog this week. My blog addy is www.mommastouch.blogspot.com GOOD LUCK!!

That is so cool!

I totally don't get what freaks you guys out about them??? They are darling! Now if you had normal fears like, birds, the feel of velvet, accidentally eating a mushroom, even a fear of chalkboards, now those I could understand, but sock monkeys????? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Teresa and I decided that our sock monkey phobia stems from an evil uncle who had sock monkeys. The blood red mouth doesn't hurt, either.

Yeah, the feel of velvet is SOOOO scary!!!!!

Now, the feel of styrafoam, that's a fear I can understand!

I'm actually glad that they didn't decide to put her through any painful procedures or anything. That girl has got confidence+ and she doesn't seem to let her little hand hinder her at all!

BTW, Tessa got a letter from Morgan today!!!!!! She was so incredibly excited!! She loved the letter and the picture Morgan drew of Hello Kitty, and the horse coloring page. Guess what's hanging on my fridge? Tessa's already started writing a reply!

and if that doesn't work, try this...

I wonder if E6000 would work so you don't even have to sew the buttons on (I hate sewing on buttons). I've used it to attach inexpensive "jewels" to a tee for Zoe and I've been impressed to see how they stayed in place after many times getting washed and dried. Using just the E6000 would also eliminate the possibly irritating thread inside and might even make it easier to get the outline as smooth as you want. The more I write, the more I think I may have to experiment on a tee for Zoe.

Well ladies I had thought today I would get caught up but it looks like that i s not going to happen. Little D has a meeting this morning and after I will be driving to 2 hours to Dallas. My ex is being an *&! and that is the best way to put it. He said some horrible things to my 14 and 12 year old last night and some things that NEVER should have been said in thier presense. Among it all he used a horrible word that makes me sick to my stomach when I hear it to describe my husband. I am sick that he cussed in front of the kids the way he did but I am absolutely mortified that he used this word in particular. Everytime I think he is growing up he slaps me in the face with his immaturity and makes me remember why we are divorced. Anyway before it spirals completely out of control and one of the kids does something stupid and he does something stupider back to them I am going to get them. I guess we will be back to him not calling or talking to them for the next few months. Which is about right since they both have bdays in the next 2 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if he does not do things like this to get him "out" of buying them stuff. If you pray say one for me that with my lack of sleep I make it safely up there and back and that hopefully he will be gone to work or wherever when I go to pick them up. I am not so sure I can hold my tongue this time after the comment he made about hubby.

I am sickened and appalled that an adult - much less a father - would talk like that in front of children. If he can do that, he probably is just as likely to cause problems to avoid giving gifts. Be safe on your trip and don't let him bring you down to his level. I'm sure your kids will see (as they no doubt can already) who is the better parent and person.

I totally don't get what freaks you guys out about them??? They are darling! Now if you had normal fears like, birds, the feel of velvet, accidentally eating a mushroom, even a fear of chalkboards, now those I could understand, but sock monkeys????? It just doesn't make sense to me.

So those are normal fears? I'm trying to think if I do have any such irrational fears and honestly can't think of any... except roaches. Ugh! I had an apartment that got infested by new tenants next door and almost 10 years later in a new home I still feel my skin crawl at the thought of those nasty things roaming around.

That is my horror--roaches. When DH and I were first married we lived in student housing apartments and that is the first time I'd ever seen roaches (other than a couple in Hawaii). I don't think I've seen them since either, they are not that common where I live, but I even had a hard time with the one in Wall E. They completely make my skin crawl.

OMG! I have GOT to make myself one of these!!! (In case you haven't guessed I've been a HUUUUUUGE Wonder Woman fan since I was four!!!)

We usually fly JetBlue too. DD likes to have the TVs of course

We do too. DD also likes the tv, I like the fact there is enough leg room so I don't have to hear my husband whine about being cramped in the seat.

 

[MegaWoman]

Too funny. But my position on the subject stands. They totally creep me out. BUT to clarify, sock monkeys creep me out. I think their weird and like Denise don't fully understand their appeal. CLOWNS on the other hand I am deathly phobic of. I mean I am can't breath, heart pounding, palms sweating SCARED of clowns. Which, yes, is irrational but most phobias are. I, Tifani, am a coulrophobic.

MEGASTEPH...I don't know if I like Brie but you made me wanna try it. Hell, if it goes w/ beer it can't be bad! Thanks for your kind words.

Does anyone else read Megawoman's posts w/ a really BAD french accent in their head (or outloud ) I mean BAD cause it's the only kind of french accent I can do

I don't fear the sock monkey - BUT I have a HUGE fear of falling (Soarin' was OK as long as I didn't look down, but Goofy's Barnstormer made me want to pass out! I did the whole thing clutching DS's little 5-year-old hand and screaming with my eyes closed!!!) I also cannot stand styrofoam, or writing with markers on construction paper!

FYI - I totally DO NOT have a French accent when I speak English - but I have a Quebecois French accent when I speak French. And my kids know Mummy means business when I speak to them in French. (eg: Franchement DS, J'ai dit "eat your pasta with a fork" = honestly DS I said "eat your pasta with a fork") And I speak Franglais when I'm flustered.

Gotta go buy an applique foot for my machine today, and get both of my nephews b-day gifts for this weekend.

I've been thinking about the crayon roll ups now for awhile, and I had a question for someone who has them. When the crayons get shorter, do the roll ups still work? It seems like if you used the crayons very much, they would no longer be long enough to get out of the pockets?

This is the sort of thing that I wil obsess over, so if anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be forever grateful!

When I made mine for crayons I didn't follow the tutorial to make the pockets more than 1/2 the height of the rollup. I honestly just didn't read the instructions close enough and cut the piece the same size as the others so my pockets are only 1/2 the height of the rollup and seem to be quite long enough.

We usually fly JetBlue too. DD likes to have the TVs of course

Love the TV's. I like seeing the map where we are-not that I'm anxious to get to Orlando or anything.

I had an awesome night of sewing. I was making a tiered teirl top, and all if the teirs matched up perfectly the first time I ruffled them!! (That never happens!!) I was finishing and pressing the top when I scorched the BRIGHT white bodice!! And of course it was on the side so it affected the front and back!! Nooooo!!! I ran upstairs, dug through my purse and grabbed my Tide to go pen. I used half the pen, soaked and scrubbed that huge mark!!! Checked it this morning and it came out!!! Whew! I was dreading appliqueing, ruffling, and constructing a whole new top!! I'm off to Walmart to stock up on more of those Tide pens!

Glad you were able to fix it!

Thanks for all of the compliments on the outfits and things that I made. I didnt' really want to post the FN stuff, because I was afraid that it didn't look as good as the store bought stuff. Jenna loves them all, but of course she loves everything that I make her. She no longer looks in the clothes department when we shop. If she does she always says, "You can make me this only better." I love that girl. Thanks for the support for the issues with her dad. Unfortunately for Jenna she has never met him. He left here before she was born and has only sent her one birthday card, but really the card was sent for a different reason that I won't go into right now. The only reason she knows that he is here is because his mom told us. I wouldn't have mentioned it to Jenna, but his mom told me that he wanted to see her and to start being a dad to her. Well I'm kicking myself for telling her now , because he has been here for a month and a half and has not made any contact to see her. I was dreading the question that she asked, but I did know that it was coming. Well I am off to school. Ya'll keep the pretty stuff coming.

Your FN stuff was awesome! More hugs for you and Jenna.

You are too funny!!!

Finally - I am at the end of the threads so I can post again!! Yall are moving way to fast for me. I haven't had time to do anything except work for the last 6 days. I have worked (6) 12 hour shifts in a row, and I am tired!! I got some horrible news last night. I was just "let go" from my part time summer job. This job was my DISNEY money!!!! It was a nursing instructing job that lasted for 8 weeks. I have only been a nurse for 2 years - a fact that I never tried to hide. The college hired me, but they didn't know that the state of Georgia requires three years of nursing experience to teach. So now, I do not have my Disney income. I can get another job, but it takes several weeks to get hired and started in another nursing job. I am so sad.
I will probably have to cancel my extras, like BBB, wilderness club and the pirate cruise.


I am sorry for venting - but yall are my only Disney friends that understand. Everyone else thinks I am crazy and should be locked up because I like Disney too much!!

You must be exhausted! Good luck finding a 2nd job.

 

[minnie2]

I'm sorry you are having to go through that. I know what it's like to get to the point where you have to accept a difference. Some kid asked about Riley's scar one time at the pool, which was fine, but when his dad actually used the work disgusting I thought that was a little over the top! Luckily Riley was little so I don't think she knew. I do know that she is self conscious of it though. Above everything else little girls just want to fit in, so sometimes differences are tough.

I am sure that she'll deal with it great though. I tell Riley all of the time that I can see the difference in her and some of her friends that have never know "suffering". There is something so sweet about a child that knows what it is like to not fit in. It has made her such a good friend to the other girls her age. Sometimes I think she's more mature than I am!

Is morgan able to use her hand fully? Will it affect her writing at all?

I made it over to the new thread.

Sadly there is no "cure" for people who make stupid rude comments about it. I would have thought medical science had come farther than that

I would consider them badges of honor! I would even go as far as telling my kids that they were made that way just to show the world and everyone in it how extra special they are!

I have a Lazy eye. I actually had 2 growing up but I had surgery on one and I used to have kids pick on me saying' why aren't you looking at me?' Or some variation of that and then they would laugh. Heck I even had an ophthalmologist say that to me! I almost decked him! Ok so it still irks me and yes people still say that to me. As a kid though I used to tell them would you tell a kid in a wheel chair to stand up? Well they can't stand and I can't straighten my eye so deal! Yeah I was ful of spit and vinager! lmao:

My kids allergist actually has both of her hands misshapen and I have to brag for a second her but my kids never ever asked why her hands are different? To me honest I don't think they even noticed! I think they just really like the dr so it doesn't even phase them.


Rocky update.

Sadly a few hours ago we had to make the call to say good bye to him. My kids are a mess and Kyle keeps saying 'who can I sing to now?' I tell him me or our other dog Daisy but he keeps saying we don't listen and like it like Rocky did. My heart breaks for them. I knew this was coming since Friday and have been doing my best to prepare them but they are still so young they don't understand just how sick he was and how this is the best thing for him even though it hurts us so much....

Okay, I finally made it over to the new thread and we are already about a tenth of the way finished with it! I know I'm not going to have time to catch up, you guys are moving way too fast and I'm trying to sew some too. For anyone that is interested I saw some cute stuff at Joann's yesterday! I am making this a big size font in case anyone who doesn't read everything everyone writes might be interested!

At Joann's in the iron-on section they had very cool black Mickey Silhouettes (like the applique shape) with letters on them in white. They were iron on transfers so you could use them to personalize a shirt or something, almost exactly like the ones in the sticker section for scrapbooking. Thought they might come in handy if anyone is looking for something like that!


Also, Wal-Mart (if you still have a fabric dept.) and JoAnn's both had back to school fabrics if you are looking for them. They were the same prints at both places but Joanns had some extra coordinating prints that Wal-Mart didn't have. Does anyone know if there is a difference in the quality of the fabric since the print design is the same? Just curious!

I am so sorry. It is hard to loose a family member like that...even harder on children. They just don't understand.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

We do too. DD also likes the tv, I like the fact there is enough leg room so I don't have to hear my husband whine about being cramped in the seat.

Ya, that's a bonus too. I'm 5'8 and DH is 6'2 so the extra room definately helps. Although I am not paying an extra $20 per person to sit in the first 8 rows.

Oh no. We lost our kitty in January. It is so hard on the kiddos. I don't know if you have anyone in your family who has passed but we had my dad, grandfather, and best friend who had recently passed away when Cleo went to kitty heaven so we were able to tell DD that they were bored in heaven and wanted a pet so God gave them Cleo because Cleo was sick on earth but in heaven she won't be in pain anymore. It helped a little.

I told the kids that Polie ( the cat we had to say good bye 2 a few yrs ago) was lonely and wanted his brother with him and that they now had each other. the poor kids wanted to know then who will Daisy have to play with now that Rocky is gone. So I told them she has us but they didn't buy it. Oh well I tried!

thank you every one for your wishes. I think today I will just have a huge bowl of ice cream and let the kids play in the water and hopefully throw myself into finishing Nikki's patchwork skirt. Maybe that will get my mind off things.


Actually I think I am going to go nap I have a huge headache and the ice cream didn't help...
