Wardrobe Update!!!

So... when mom got back from her stay in the hospital, she came back to this mass pile on her doorstep.
 
This was like, 5 packages guys!!!
All just piled up waiting there for poor old drugged mom to try and walk over. She was super drugged and she had a happy meal according to Korick. I still haven't found what she did with her toy yet. Grandma brought in the hoard for her and mom got to use a pair of scissors for the first time in several months. It was all gifties from our cousins in Ireland. And most of them where for ME!!!

If you are easily sick at the sight of pink, skip this post. There is A LOT of it. Like a lot a lot. Like OMG a lot! Some mom had bought because she couldn't find them in the states but most of them our cousins picked out. You've been warned.

 This first cute number is my very own set of pajamas! They came with matching slippers and a bow! Since mama has been in her pjs so much, Korick and I have been living in ours too! Well... I don't know if Korick really counts because he's almost always in pajamas. Mama says it's cause he smells familure but I don't know. He smells like lavender fabric softener to me!

 You may have noticed the ear peaking over the pillow in the last picture. That's one of our many fox friends. His name is Pancake and he's so adorable! He wonderfully floppy!

 Next is an outfit mama bought for me! It's a Halloween Hello Kitty outfit!!! Mama says I will need a bow to match but... HELLO KITTY!!! And spiders!!! AND HALLOWEEN!!!

 This is a wonderfully glittery white tip with puffy princess sleeves and pink pants. You can't tell in the picture but, you can see my panties through them!!! I can't go camando either! Mama says that she has some new undies coming that will work better for my lighter clothes.

 To break up the pink, here's Korick in his new outfit! Mama has hunted for years for an outfit that would match the character Daddy named him after. She had to order it from the Build-A-Bear site in Europe but she finally got it! Except for the boots, we got those here. The HUGS text is embroidered on and mama said she might take it off for him.

 Next is a Hellow Kitty top! She's a geek! The skirt I've had and since I don't own all but 1 pair of pants (thank you again Aunty!!!) The next several photos will have the same skirt since showing my panties is not cool. At all!!! Nope nope nope!

 Cheer-leading Hello Kitty top!
 Pretty pink heart hoodie with super cute bow but NO EAR HOLES!!! Mama says might ears may never find a hoodie that will fit them. Oh well!

Pink camo hoodie!

 Pretty purple outfit!!! You can't see it, but it has a really cute pink belt!

 Pretty pink sweeter Aunty had made for me! AND I HAVE SUNGLASSES NOW!!! AND THEY ARE PINK!!!

 This is a really cute bunny sleeper Aunty had ordered for me but... it's a little big. Mama is going to see if she can alter it once her hand feels better... and Grandma gives back her sewing machine. Seriousely guys, she hid Mom's sewing machine! Who does that!?!

 I got a few goodies in the package too! the bear case is the case for my glasses. The Hello Kitty wand thing was full of candy. The turtle is darling but we're not sure where to put him yet! Mama tried to put him on the medication bag she had to carry with her for a few days, but he got caught on all the things so that was a no go.

 AND I got this super cute Hello Kitty smallfry!!! She has a tan!

She came with a cute little bikini too and a hoodie that matches Koricks. We didn't get a picture of that one though.

If you made it this far, you survived the sea of PINK!!! I now Mama posted earlier, but she hasn't always been sleeping so good. So I've gotten to watch some really weird cartoons at night/wee hours of morning. I've also discovered infomercials! Not necessarily a good thing but, entertaining none the less.
 Thank you for reading guys!


Back to little... sorta

It's nice to see that Sakura Bunny has been taking over for me while I've been recovering. It's been kind of hard on me, but I've been thankful that both Korick and Sakura Bunny have been there to cuddle when I've had bad times. I haven't really been up for much of anything. I've re-centered though and am feeling more like myself and little.

It's been easier to deal with emotions since I got back to being my little self. I still amaze myself at how much easier it is to process things when I'm back in my little mindset. This experience has helped me see the difference between being myself and being the true 4 year old. I know Daddy tried really hard to be there, but I also know I did burn him out early on about the time I started going a bit manic and not sleeping. When I was in the hospital though and they where sticking needles in me and all of that. Shadow was right there when I cried for him and held my hand. Before he left for the night, he tucked Korick into bed with me and told me that he'd have his phone on if I needed him. Which of course I did... until about 2 am.

I've been scared to use my crayons and color books and to draw. My mom took and hid my sewing machine. I tried to sew once already and it didn't end well. The project turned out, but there was sobbing... a lot of it and pain. So, hiding with Korick has been what the agenda has been for the past few days since then.

Now, on to cupcake flavored goldfish crackers and cartoons.

Going to work with Mama!

Hey guys! I meant to post this sooner but with Mama's surgery and her not leaving me the passwords for the computer, I didn't get a chance before she'd left! Mama is resting loads and Korick went with her like planned, but Mama will be writing about that on her main blog. In the meantime, I'm going to tell you about my adventure to work with her!

We got up super early and I got to wear my pretty Lolita dress. I asked Mama to wear her's so we could be twins, but she said that she couldn't get away with her frills at her job unless it was Halloween.

We got to ride in her work's vanpool! Mama is the first stop so she gets to ride in the front seat! I tried to take this picture of traffic but the van was always bumpy! Mama said this was really light traffic compared to what she deals with every other day.


It was super foggy too! I tried to get a pic of the Seattle skyline but you can't even see it! I promise the Space Needle and the Great Wheel and the stadiums are in there! They are just lost in the clouds, which was still really cool.

When we got to Mama's work, the fog had started to burn off. This is a picture of the hospital. The brick building with the flag pole in front of it is the main hospital, where mom got me coffee from! The one ahead of it is a bunch of smaller clinics. Mama jokes that the hospital will be the site of a zombie outbreak. She says it's super creepy in the fog and we're located directly across from a graveyard. An OLD graveyard, but more on that laters.

Mama said she had to go work the front counter for a little while first thing so she left me at her desk in back... well... she left me at her friend's desk in back. I decided to try and help PettiePet do some work... except I have no idea what any of them do! They call the office Medical Records and there are old dusty charts and they play music. The people that work there, not the records. Though that would be SUPER COOL!!! It was really boring actually. I filled in for mom as best as I could.


People where stopping by and leaving cards for Mama though. They would see me and comment on my cuteness and leave the cards with me. So I guess I was helpful a little! I also almost got stolen by a guy in Mama's vanpool! He'd made it to the door before she noticed. I was so scared!!! I didn't know if Mama would find me again! I remember the stories JillyBean had told me about the people that worked there stealing her!

By lunch time Mama was really stressed. So I asked if we could go explore the graveyard for a little bit. Mama's friend Carebear actually insisted that we go when I suggested it. So I was packed into my bag and we went on and adventure to 'visit the neighbors'.

 We entered the graveyard at the Jewish cemetery. We found a grave for this little girl on the main path. Mama asked her if she'd mind having her picture taken with me. Mama said it would be good since she was so young when she left this plane to have a brief cuddle with someone so pink and cuddly.

 I then found the most awesome tree!!! I see my cousin Thomas Marshal climb trees all the time so i hiked up my skirt and climbed up best I could! It was so cool and I managed to not get dirty! Mama says if I want to contiue this climbing trees thing, we will need to find me shoes. Slippers don't count either :(

 I saw this angel and wanted to have my picture taken with her. It was really high up though! Mama was on her tip toes to help me up and Mama is tall!

 See how high up I am!!!

 Next Mama said we needed to visit one of her Daddy markers. She said she has a lot that she's found but, this one is special. He was the first she found. She stops by and talks to him now and then. So I decided to lay next to him and whisper some secrets that Mama couldn't hear. He's a very good listener! Mama says she has pictures of all her Daddy markers and a map that shoes where about they are. It was a project she gave herself when she was taking the bus and had time to kill in the morning.

 Next place Mama wanted to go was also really special to her. It's called the Tower of Chimes. It's a military monument with a huge hill with pretty white markers for people who've served in different branches of the military. Mama has a soft spot for military men.

 I found another tree to climb on the way there. You can see me tail!

 There are 2 cannons that mark the entrance to the tower. Mama wouldn't let me climb inside. There where spiders. I don't want spiders in my undies!!! I talked with the soldiers for a little bit and walked around the towers. It's way up on a hill so we could look down on everything. It was really pretty.

 Mama says this is a Fairy Tree! She stops by and makes a wish on it every time she's in the graveyard. I decided I wanted a picture standing under it. It had such lovely energy.


This was in front of a family shrine. Mama says there is a whole part of the cemetery dedicated to asian cultures, but we wouldn't have time to make it over today.


 There was a little garden area just behind the shrine with a little pond and my size waterfall. This was on the bridge over the water. Mama said the water needed to be cleaned. It smelt like a dirty fish tank!

 You can't see it here, but the water is between me and mom as I posed on this marker. It had a lovely little bench to sit on so you could talk with the angel.

 We passed by this mouse marker! I had to have a picture in front of it! How cool is this mouse!!!

 Full marker.

 This pyramid marks another section of the cemetery. Mama said it was Greek orthodox. A long time ago, Mama said she use to feed 2 crows that would meet her at the front gate. She'd named them Apollo and Demeter. She said she doesn't go to the pyramid anymore after finding Apollo at the base of it. Mama did say that the pyramid it's has an interesting history. It use to be a little altre area but the inside has been left to ruin. There where pictures of saints inside at one time but have long since rotted away. It's kind of sad... Mama said that there are a few of the pieces still inside, but the doors are chained shut so you can't get in. You get lucky sometimes and they are open enough to peek in. But again, Mama refused to get closer because of the memory of her lost feathered friend.

It was about this time that Mama looked down at her phone and realized we only had 2 minutes of lunch left. This meant that we didn't get to see some of the other things she'd talked about :( I was really disappointed but I didn't want Mama to get in trouble at work. I took this picture of Mama's building to show that she really is neighbors with the graveyard. The windows to her office are the second floor ones and covered by the trees. It was kind of cool!

So we returned to the work thing where Mama stressed more and I was BOOOOORED. So so bored... I did take a nap though.


Did i show you the coffee I got though! It's a venti pumpkin spice latte and it was HUGE!!! Like... really huge! Mama said I had to share. I've never seen so much coffee!!! Who drinks this much coffee!?! Mama then explained it's the only way she's been making it through work the last month or so with everything she's had to deal with. She also managed to spill a whole one of these on someone super important at the hospital. She says it was because of her bad hand but... I don't know... >_>

OH!!! Most importantly!!! Mama gave me my own log in to post with for the blog!!! Now things will be under my name! She said I might even be able to get my own bookface account like Lambie!!

Updates from Sakura Bunny

 

Haha! You hadn't heard the last from me! Mom's not been feeling all that well lately, so I'm giving an update so she can rest. Aren't I the sweetest?!

Korick recently ordered himself scrubs and is trying to pass himself off as a doctor. The past few days he's been going to work with Mom. He said she was needing 24 care. I think he was making stuff up to go back to work with her. Either way, the people in Mom's office are SUPER nice to him when he goes and always excited to see him. Last week, they even gave him his own desk to work at!



He's still trying to pass off as a doctor. One of the doctors Mom works with said that he might be a little short to work in the OR. Another nurse that works with the people that will be fixing Mom said that even though he has scrubs, doesn't mean his medical license if valid to work in the OR with them. But she did say he can stay with her until she goes into surgery and for course stay with her over night. He's still trying to convince them he can assist in the procedure. I don't buy it. I don't think playing Doctor X: Vampire Edition qualifies as medical schooling.

He has been doing a super job of helping Mom though and I guess that's what's important. Even if it's just by bringing a smile to her face... and often times to others.

On Friday, he was a Jedi. He almost got stolen twice for his cuteness.
So while Korick has been busy with Mom, I've been helping her pick out comfy cuddly things. My Favorite is this super soft and super cuddly blanket. It's light weight and just dreamy to snuggle with.


Luna B agrees. She's been sleeping on it every chance she gets no matter where it is!
I also suggest Mom get some new jammies since the ones grandma promised to make are still not even cut yet. We found these awesome black cat ones and some really cute Hello Kitty ankle socks! Of course they are Halloween themed... but that didn't seem to phase Mom to much.





The pink slippers are the newest purchase. The nurse Mom had talked with the other day had suggested bringing a pair since Mom will be sleeping over at the hospital. We'd found this super cool pair of Monster High slippers but... they where out of Mom's size. We tried a couple different stores but didn't have any luck. We found this pink pair that are really soft and comfortable AND they have bottoms with grips so Mom won't slip and hurt herself. This was a slipper feature Grandma was adimate about seeing as how mom has a bad track record with hurting herself.

Yesterday we went out with Daddy. We got ramon noodles and Mom curled up and slept when she got to his house. There was some much needed cuddle time with the 4 of us (Simba kitty curled up with us on the bed and Daddy was trying to find where he could fit! XD) Mama lost her hoodie recently and she was threatening to steal one of Daddy's. He said he had the perfect one for her to keep forever since he couldn't wear it.


ISN'T IT AWESOME!!! It actually goes with mine and Korick's travel bag!






That really about wraps it up for what's been going on. This week might be high stress for Mama. She actually asked me if I wanted to come with her to work tomorrow! Of course I said yes! I will try and explore and get some pictures. Korick says that while it's a lot of fun to go to work with Mom, we're there to do a job. Most of the time it's to take care of Mom, but sometimes it's to make others smile too. I'm a little nervous because that's a lot of responsibility. Korick's tried to teach me what he knows but... well we will see. I still have to decide what to wear!!!
