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.

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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

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.
