mother's day

i cant believe it's mother's day AGAIN! where does time go? anyway i whipped together 2 aprons today for my mother & clay's mother. i will be sending them express tomorrow. it's always so difficult selecting gifts for my parents...they dont want anything but i also dont want to not show respect or love by not sending a gift.
anyway, here is a picture of the apron...i dont think my mom reads my blog..at least she never lets on that she does or comments on it....so here it is.

it's really cute in person. the light isnt all that good. even rachel was impressed. abigail sat with me the whole time i made it trying to figure out my sewing machine. asher tried everytime i got up to use the iron to hit the buttons on my sewing machine & change the settings. too much fun.
and on another note i went to the doctor for a bit of help. i am now on cymbalta....for the next 2 weeks at least. the side effects are not fun. i feel like i'm in a fog. i just wanted something to stabilize my moods without having unpleasant side effects. i have tried zoloft before & it had a very displeasing side effect so that's why we moved on to cymbalta. i think the drug in between zoloft & cymbalta is prozac (at least the doctor said it was) and prozac is more for anxiety.
the doctor also started me back on advair for my asthma. it's amazing to me how awesome this drug is. this inhaler immediately helps but last time i used it i got a horrible yeast infection in my mouth & throat. i am definitely rinsing my mouth thoroughly to try & ward that off this time.

i hope you all have a happy mother's day. i am looking forward to my yearly visit to Kyoto's Japanese Steak House. i was also told i was going to get another weeping willow tree (my favorite of all trees) as the last one died & a new skillet. mine is so worn out. the black coating is completely gone, the lid is broken & quite frankly it isnt big enough. so happy day for me!!
