randomnings

Not too long ago we were warming the stands at a basketball game starring Tobes.  It happened that Jonathan was sitting on the bleacher above me.  Giving him full access to notice all things on my head.


It was with glee.  Glee, I say.  That he practically shouted announced spotting my first...


gray ! 


Long after his duly earned bruises healed my daughter will still solemnly and sadly rub my back and offer me this condolence...


I sure wish you didn't get your first gray hair, mommy.

Dr. Pedi informed Toby that she needed to swab some boogers from his nose for a flu test.


I can just pick em' for you


He generously offered.


*******************

Bristel and Toby were having a Fighting Frenzy sorta day and I'd finally had enough.


If you two don't stop it right this minute...




it's not gonna be pretty!  I promise you! 


Both got real quiet.  Until Bristel finally responded...


Well, mooooom. we are brother and sister after all.

Toby described phase one (out with mom & Grams) of his birthday celebration as a boy's fairy tale

then Dick's.  Where he was able to pick out the cleats of his choice.  Not something we usually do.

We capped the night off with a run to Target where he added the hot new Pokemon Black game to his collection. Wonder how many days until he beats it and is begging for the White edition?

Trevy's newest cutest word...


Ooooooooh 


Example


Trevy: Owe-sigh (outside)

Mommy:  Later

Trevy:  Ooooooooh (with the cutest little disappointed face you ever did see)


********************


Bristel has been begging for a locket.


You know.


for when you & daddy die 


Should I be concerned?

Grams makes Randomnings!


The girls (Grams, me and Bri) were out errand-ing.  Grams was kinda cranky.  I was kinda cranky.  Bristel was keeping her peace in the backseat when we pulled into Dunkin for a joe.


Thank you for choosing Dunkin Donuts!  How are you doing today? 


The entirely too perky voice boomed through the speakers.  Think bubble gum and bouncy ponytails.  My mom gave me the hairy eyeball before replying...


Well, not as good as you that's for sure! 


I have such a morbid sense of humor that I'm still giggling about it.  It really was hilarious!

I love your randomnings posts! Your kids are so funny. And count yourself lucky that you JUST found your first gray hair. I've had some gray since my early 20s!

I've been coloring my hair for so long that Jon jokes that he can't remember what my natural color is and that we'll never know when I go grey. We may find out about the grey hairs since I don't usually color my hair when I'm preggo. I may have to make an exception and try the non-permanent color if the result isn't pretty.

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 ...
