random-nings...you know, just for funsies

Bristel was perched on the couch...looking out our big window...







and suddenly started yelling...







Mommy...a daddy robber's coming! A daddy robber's coming!







Took a minute to figure out she meant a daddy "robin"! As in the bird. And not the guy trying to steal our Samsung.







**********






Toby's AllStar team were the champions of their first tournament! And word on the street is...it's the first time our town's AllStar team (of any age) has ever won a tourney!








First inning warm ups Captain Slugger took one to the face. Rewarded with a bloody and broken nose to compliment his trophy! Ahhhhhh...the memories of boyhood. We'll laugh about this someday...right?!








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






Quite possibly the best compliment I've gotten. Ever.







"I have a crapload of respect for you!"






Taken from a recent email...that made me smile.






**********






The Scene: Toby walks into the living room while I'm sweatin' to my morning workout.





Panting Me: Wanna join?






Gawking and Head Shake NO him: Not with those crazy things they make you do!






**********






The Scene: I'd kicked their summer boredom boots outside to play. Toby's whining at the (locked from the inside) screen door. After a few minutes I finally shuffle over to see what was wrong.




Whiney Toby: Mooooooom...Bristel took MY worm!






Victor Bristel: Hahahahahahaha - cackling as she runs around the corner pudgy palm wrapped snugly around Lucky the worm.






Me: turned around and locked the other screen door!


**********







Counting down the days til' Bibi comes to babysit...







I mean visit!







*********







Oh last thought...







I've been thinking about renaming my "random-nings" to "just for funsies". Maybe I'll poll it?

I like the new name.....it's cute.

Bristel sounds like quite a character!! While my older two will look at a worm, neither will touch them. Which surprises me about Haylee since she's our tough-nut.

And.....ouch! Poor Toby! If that was me with a broken nose, my eyes would be crossed in pain!!!

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...
