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.

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 ...
