After bringing Callie inside from a romp in the patches of snow Toby announces...



She's really cute!



pauses...then adds...



No offense!




Which prompts my asking...huh?




Well...no offense that I think she's as cute as you!



Declares my son...with the most serious of faces!





**********



I finally reach my boiling point with all the running and ruckus behind me. I huffed at Bristel...





"What in the world are you doing?"





She comes to an abrupt halt. Puppy hanging from her arms.





"I'm just playing Dog Catcher, mommy!"





I probably shouldn't have laughed.





*********

I've been wrapping the gifts in the basement.

<>So Bristel says to me the other day,

Mommy...why does Santa give the mommies and daddies the presents early?



**********



I don't remember why I asked. I do remember being testy when I did.




Toby...what the heck is your Webkinz password?!




Toby took a deep breath and then proceeded...




BCZIEL87MUY




(obviously modified...because I can't remember what the heck it really was!)




He never changed it from the original password!




Is that hysterical or is that hysterical! Especially since he shpieled it off without missing a beat!

The most amazing thing happened today.




Trevy and I were out and about running errands. The labwork he needed was not amazing. But what happened shortly after is.




He had been munching some cheerios. Which pre-surgery he could never ever hold a bowl of cheerios and munch all by himself! So that's amazing too.




But I wasn't sure if he was finished. So, like I usually do...I asked him if he wanted more. Or no.




He never answers me. Frankly...I don't think he's ever understood.




But today...




...that changed!!!!




When I asked if he wanted more...




he responded...clear as day and very deliberate...




"naaaaah"




That my friends, is toddler speak for NO!!!!




*********




Sooooo...




there are rumors that this is part of my cunning get-out-of-sending-Christmas-cards-plan...




but I assure you. I'm not that clever!




::wink::




So if some of you recieve duplicates...




...and some of you none at all...




I'm talking Christmas Cards.




Sorry.




I shouldn't have trusted the project to my very sketchy memory! I should have kept better notes.




But alas...I did not.




Sooooo...

instead. I give you this...

Doesn't it just shine your heart when they come out with things like "Naaah!". It still amazes me when Bup comes up with something I just assume he can't say or doesn't understand. Ya gotta love those surprises! Yay for Trevy!
Your Bristel...she cracks me up! As does Toby...how sweet that he thinks you are cute..not puppy cute, but cute just the same!:)

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 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.

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...
