my fortune cookie friends...

A friend FaceBooked me recently...






"You definitely have something great around the corner, I can almost feel it"...


she said...







Feeling a little less Fortune Cookie...a little more Eyore...



I rolled my eyes & sighed...



If I were a stuffed donkey I'm sure my ears & tail would have been drooping too...






And went to answer the just rung door bell...








Where I found a care-package on the stoop!




Filled with O's fan treasures...




and little princess delights too!








Sent by another IS mommy friend...




and making my other Fortune Cookie friend look super duper smart!




::wink::




And even though it's been an Eyore kinda streak lately...




I'm SO thankful for all my Fortune Cookie friends that shower me with love via emails...comments...phone calls...prayers...care packages!



And help chase the gloomies away when I feel like I can't!

Glad they loved the goodies. Did the shirt fit J ok? They only gave them out in 1 size and since it would be many, many years before Aidan would of been able to wear it I thought "What's better to give someone that "should" be a Red Sox fan than an Orioles shirt?". The purse was a good match and I'm glad I could make your little princess happy.

Tara...

The shirt fits him perfectly! And J loves sporting his O's gear here in Sox land...

I know...the purse & headband are a PERFECT match for that dress! It was given to her by a family here...their daughter had worn it as a bridemaid gown a few years ago. And Bristel loves it so much I can hardly get her out of it...seriously...wears it to the playground!

Thanks Tara...it was a really super sweet super thoughtful super needed gift!

((((hugs))))

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...

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 ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
