Toby to Trevy (who has decent aim and was karate chopping at him) during a recent car ride...


Stop torturing me!


*********

Do I look beautiful today, mommy?



Asks Bristel from where she was perched on the stairs. Modeling out grown jeans and a too-tight t-shirt. Hair going every which way. Looking adorably...Bristel-ish.



Always...I replied.



She flashed her dimples and simultaneously unplugged her sucking thumb while dropping her blankie in the basket.



I've decided I'm not going to suck my thumb on days I wear beautiful things! Isn't that a good idea?



She's convinced her blankie makes her suck her thumb. Which is really cute. But do I tell her that I don't mind her blankie snuggling thumb sucking ways...cause it means she still my baby?

Toby says about his sister...



She sure doesn't love her posse!



When asked to define who exactly her posse was...he informed...



That would be us! Her family!


**********


Bristel was rosy cheeked and holding Callie by the leash when I glanced out the big window to check on them. When Bristel saw me she waved furiously and said...


I love you, mommy!


flashed her dimple and joyfully added...


So does Callie! Did you know I know how to talk to animals?


And away they went. To continue conversing about whatever little girls and puppies do...I'm sure.


**********


We happened to be touring Trevy's class during snack time. I came prepared. That time. With juice and animal crackers.


Trevy was happily munching. While I was busy soaking in the room.


I felt a tug on my hands. Looked down to find Trevy looking into my eyes. Sippy cup held up high in one hand. The other still tugging mine.


And then the most beautiful thing happened...


He said...


"maaaaww"


Which, my lovely friends, means MORE!


And is why my eyes were misting as I jumped up to get him "Maaaawwww"!

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 ...
