random-nings

I was just unbuckeling my seat belt when Toby came barging out the front door. Being a little homebody he'd opted to stay back with Grams instead of tagging along to Music Class.


What he came charging out to say knocked me off my feet!


"Hey Mom...just checking if you need help carrying anything in?"


Am I beaming? Surely I'm beaming? I feel like I'm beaming!


**************************************************

"Look...mommy...it's the funk-a-dilly!"


As uttered by Bristel...who was contorted under the pews into a side ways bridge postion (if I'm remembering my gymnastics termanolgy correctly). In the middle of church. In a less than church mouse volume.


Gotta love the Backyardigans!


************************************************


"Can I watch Beijing?"

That phrase is seared on my brain! Seriously...is there therapy for a 7 year old sports fanatic? Is it weird that he would rather watch ESPN news than cartoons? That he has his very own Fantasy Baseball Team...and he's WINNING! And am I crazy for telling Grams sure you can wake Toby up at 2am to watch the Olympics?!


**********************************************

Jonathan gets a kick outta made up words. Like...

O-O-T-R

Any guesses on what it could mean?

OUT OF TREVOR'S REACH?

That's my guess, from one parent of a toddler to another. Mark and I always speak in codes. Being that I am a former gov subcontractor and he is a current gov subcontractor, acronyms are just like plain english to us ;)

That is too cute that Toby is such a sports nut. Javi's dad wishes he was in to baseball. Javi is just in to his own thing. Who know's, Javi loves to swim. Maybe he will be the next Michael Phelps. Javi has ADHD just like him ;) Makes you realize there is no such thing as a disability, it's that just some people are more challenged than others.

Happy Friday!!

Shanna wins! Whoo hoo! I bet you figure out all those coded license plates too?! I never can!

Toby totally gets his addiction from his daddy...altho I enjoy my fair share of Olympics. It's just sittin' down to watch a full O's game...let's just say I enjoy my crossword puzzles! J spends hours on Orioles Hangout...it's a total *dude* message board all about the Orioles. And Lost! lol

Anyway...I love my hubby...and my kids...they make life fun!

lol...these quotes are so awesome!
The funk-a-dilly & beijing...all of it made me smile, laugh out loud, and read them aloud to my husband.
Thanks for the happiness!

Karibu...as we say in Swahili. I like to randomly show off my 2nd lingo factor! The joy of kiddos!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
