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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
