what I'm loving today - randomnings

Toby regarding a thought provoking school assignment --


I just can't get this, Mom.


My brain is too discombobulated! 


**********

Trevy:  paaaaaaaaaaaaaay - tandem-ed with the sign for play...therefore we understood he was saying "play" not "pay".  


Me:  you're going to play at school, honey 


Trevy:  oh - with such a hilariously disappointed tone that I swear he knew exactly what was being said!


**********


I was apologizing to Bristel because my pony tail was a wee bit sloppy.  Allowing her long side parted bangs to fall into her eyes a little bit. 



Don't worry, Mommy. 


When my hair falls down like that, my name is Cris! 


Says she while trying out a super model pose.


**********

Me:  Ready to brush teeth, Trevy? 


Trevy's response was to pause...


bat his huge eyes...


and blow a raspberry before proceeding to finish his run down the hall way. 


**********
I tried a new recipe out the other day. 


When I asked Jonathan if he liked it.  He paused thoughtfully before non-committal-y responding...


It tasted like something you might eat at a restaurant. 


Now really?  Just how am I supposed to take that?!


**********

I was little more than a sweaty blob of aching bones lying in bed wishing the meds would kick in an provide some relief when Toby pops his head around the corner and asks...


Were you hoping someone like me would accompany you?! 


Comic relief is good too.

Ugh! Jon does that too. I find something that sounds really good and I slave over it for what seems like forever. And when I ask about it, he says it's good or OK. Drives me batty! Especially when I think it's really good, then I just don't know what to think about it. MEN!

so who says "discombobulated" around Toby? I am sure he has heard that from someone! Good word! He is really growing up! Greets from all at Arusha Bible Baptist Church and School. They are sending greeting to Baba Toby and Mama Toby and all the akina Foltz. Love to all, enjoyed the vignettes!! Bibi

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.
