random-nings

Toby: Mom...what's a sweet tooth?






Me: It just means you really like to eat sweets...






::wheels spinning pause::






Toby: Well, I don't have a sweet tooth. But I sure do have a "meat" tooth!






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




Bristel would like to know if your...







yester-night







was







pink-a-lish?




*********



The Scene: (If you're not an Amazing Race fan this'll fly right over) So Bri likes to hang with me while I get dressed. And...there I stood...in all my matching "skippies" glory. When she exclaims...








Oh mommy...you should be on the Amazing Race!








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





Thank you Octo-mom for the following teachable moment whilst running errands...







Bristel: I wanna get married and have lots of kids





Toby: (in an I'm 8 therefore I know everything voice) You don't have to be married to have kids!



Bristel: (with a gasp) YES YOU DO!



Toby: Well that mom with eight babies on tv isn't!




What was my response you ask? What nugget of parenting wisdom do I have to share?



When things get sticky...and you're in the car...and too zonked to tackle a ummmmmm delicate topic...




lean forward...





ever so slowly so as not to be obvious...





and CRANK the tunes as loud as possible! Works every time!



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



Bristel has randomly declared...




The Dentist is AWESOME!




after her most recent tooth cleaning appointment.




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



So I remember flipping through this magazine once...




and skimming this interview with this gorgeous actress. Don't remember who...




but I'm totally trying to adopt her philosophy that dark under eyes are sexy!


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


In spite of the nasty seizure week we've had...



Trevy did something new that melted my heart!



We have this little climber-slide combo thing-y in our yard. And I've been working with Trev for weeks...on how to climb it. But more importantly...how to sit & scooch to the slide.



And sooooooo...



I hand over hand helped his footsies climb up. And once he was at the top...took a deep breath and let go to see what would happen...




and he toddled a couple steps. Plopped his sweet cheeks down. And scooched to the slide!!!!!




And weeeeeeeeeeeeeee down he went!




Which prompted a mommy-happy dance to the neighbors dismay!



::wink::

Those kids are so darn cute! Yes, our yester night was pink a lish! Is there any other way to spend a yester night? I admit, I also have a meat tooth, however, the main reason I can seem to fit in my skinny jeans is my bread tooth :) Trevy! Kay tries to give me a heart attack by climbing the big kid slide @ the park ever since the OT taught her to climb the ladder :)

D- matching skibs? Wow, I just throw on what ever is on top in the drawer ;) Javi manage to walk in a when I was in my skibs and say he wants me to drop a few lbs so I will be skinny again. I told him "that's my plan".

Dark under eyes sexy?? If so I could win the prize. The doc tells me it's genetic so no matter the amount of sleep, they will always be there. Damn those genes!

Yeah Trevy on the slide! And I, too, just crank the music. SOOO much easier some days!

Hope you hear from Dr Rockstar soon!

I went to share with Pops about the funny things the kids say but he had already read them. We both had a good laugh about the meat tooth.

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...
