insanity

Soooooooooo...Jonathan is out of town today.


Which means I'm home. Alone. With three children.


Did I really voluntarily have three????


Toby's turning everything into a ball. I'd kick him outta the house if it weren't so wet & chilly!


Bristel's following me around whining. She hasn't had a cranky-free day in weeks!


Trevor's cuttin' a tooth & clumsy (he's banged his head at least five times already) & down-right monster-licious.


Ahhhhhhhhhh!


Maybe I should find the job after all!? And let J be Mr. Mom!

Nahhh...I can't see a man doing three kids alone. i know there are men out there that do, and I give them credit.

My husband doing this?? Ha, that's a good laugh. Just as much as I would hate doing his job, the kids would fire him if he had to do mine. We both agree that we fit the jobs we were assigned.

well...with one down (for a nap!) it's MUCH easier!

just a few more minutes and it'll be two down.

and then I'll convince Toby to rest too!

Hubby and I both have full time jobs. Actually, including motherhood I have two...hubby could do the first, the second...no way!!! He is alone with my two girls every Friday and when I get home at 4:45, it's like the whole house goes, oh finally.....mom's home!! But the funny thing is, he claims they behave like angels for him so I don't know what his and their deal is!! lol

It's days like these that make me wish I was still at CapOne climbing the corp ladder! lol

Funny thing is...Jonathan is the same way...it's like a breeze to care for the kids. Of course I usually find... Toby's on the playstation all day... Bristel's up to her elbows in m&m's...and Trevy's in his pack & play with a juice box!

The diff between guys & girls! lol

the naps were great...but not long enough! *grin*

BUT...the hubster came home mid-bath & rescued me! Yeah!

Now I need my heating pad warming my back (it's my nightly ritual) and the remote!

so I totally missed your blgo yesterday... a little thing called work got in the way!

Glad J is back. My hubby can barely handle one or two of them alone... NEVER three!

YAY for naps! Can I have one now? Yes I realize I have only been up for 2 hours, but I am ready to go back to bed :)

Guess I should go blog on my site!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
