Said by Toby about his sister during a recent battle of the siblings...


And she even scratched my butt when I was trying to retreat!



I love being this kid's mommy!



**********


Recently we found ourselves strolling toy aisles on the mission of spending some belated Christmas mulah. We happened upon the baby doll aisle. Not a shocker When you live with a girl... Most of which were the kind that are motion activated to coo and cry and say "mama mama". Bristel looked around wide eyed before seriously saying...


These dolls are creeping me out!


**********


I had a meeting to attend the other morning. Which is why I was smoothing on make up and trying to make the best of my really-needs-me-to-find-salon-time hair. Bristel was hanging over my shoulder watching me.


Are you trying to look fancy, mommy?


Ummmmm...I guess so. I shrugged.



Well, if you're trying to look fancy you should wear your wedding dress!



Punctuated by...



Isn't that a great idea?



I love having an adorable little girl who is full of (it) great ideas!



***********

Taken from an email response to my pissy post...


I was thinking computers should come with "handling while pissy warnings."


I love having friends who make me laugh!


*********

Jonathan to me after I immediately emailed something funny he said to the person about whom it was said...

Sheesh...a guy can't say anything when his wife is a blogger.


I love being married to a sweet wonderful guy...who has a knack for making me laugh!


*********


Toby about Bristel who was playing outside and singing at the top of her lungs...


If she keeps it up...she'll break the sound barrier!


*********


Bristel to daddy about the poo she'd just produced (let's just say...she's taking the Activia challenge)...


Wow...it's HUGE!


::flash dimple::


And HUGE is healthy!

And yes...today's my birthday.



34.



Yikes!

Happy Birthday.

34. So young. I would LOVE to be 34 again.

That was pre-shaved days...when I was in the middle of choosing comb-over, Hair Club, or shaving.

Those were the days.

34...yikes??? I'm 34. I think. I tend to forget. Anyway, have a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Your ENTIRE family is all too cute. A lot of fun times to be had in your household.

Sophie said to me the other day when I was trying to do speech therapy with her at home..."no talk". Thought that might make you smile. Have a WONDERFUL day.

Elaine, I had to laugh at your comment. I always just used to *know* how old I was, now I need to stop and do the math and then figure out if I've had my birthday yet this year ;)

I'm 34 also, a good age I suppose.

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 ...
