My MIL took her young son (my future hubby) to the pediatrician and while there mentioned a strange odor emanating from his nose. The doc took a look and pulled out a fermenting raisin. Hubby hadn't made mention to his mom. However, the event had long lasting benefits... while in med school, faced with a similar situation, was able to know where to look! Ya just never know!!! Glad Tinkerbell survived the ordeal (and you too). <BR/><BR/>and btw, we all have messy sewing room weeks!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894271242581269003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603032139825742973.post-78791577454447697172008-03-01T15:47:00.000-06:002008-03-01T15:47:00.000-06:00I hope you won't hate me for laughing :O Seriousl...I hope you won't hate me for laughing :O Seriously, when you said your stitch marker had gone missing, I knew just where it had gone.... Poor you. We've been really lucky here, nothing up the nose yet, but I do remember my neighbour calling me once to ask if she could leave one of her kids with me while she took the other one to casualty to have a bead (i think it was) removed from the nose. Sure, I said, bring her over, thinking she'd be leaving the 8 year old girl with me and taking the 5 year old boy to casualty (as you'd assume, right?) No, apparently not.

I will say Miss Tink is a game girl, though!<BR/>As for your "mess" - I thought it was quite lovely with the green and pink bags strewn around. Very artsy-fartsy, Angela!

I remember baby sitting a kid with a very flat little nose putting about 4 pearls up his nose.. dad was a dr. and totally ignored me telling him and I ended up getting them out. of course now that I hear about the infection and the poop watching it makes me feel a little quesy. I feel your pain on the cleanup. I still have stuff yet to put away but I'm loving my reworked room.
