exhibit A. 

 

misc 004

 

Just in case you were wondering.  Yes.  Even with my clutter phobia, my house looks just like yours.

 

This is what fell out of the back of my couch when we were hunting for the lost remote. 

 

Slim Jim wrappers.  Half munched cookies.  Cheerios by the bowl full. And more.

LOL!!! Have your kids ever watched The Big Comfy Couch (maybe not...I think it's Canadian) but under the couch live these mischievous Dust Bunnies. My boys love it...and that's what your exhibit reminds me of. :)
Thanks for sharing! It's nice to see that you are normal!:) lol
hugs,

Ha...you crack me up. You should have made it a guessing game...I know you love those ;) When I first saw the picture, I thought it was from under your fridge.

Well how dare you say my couch crease junk looks like that! Because I'm old and I don't have children, I don't have Cheerios and Animal Crackers! Substitute Kleenex, pens, paper towels and I'm thinking a Slim Jim is sounding pretty good. So my couch stuff is a bit different, but just as telling. I think yours would make a great Cheerios commercial. My Mom used to just vacuum in the couch crease rather than excavate it. Wonder how many treasures were forever lost.

I loved that post. I was guessing it came from under the couch myself, Elaine.

Amazing, especially since your couch isn't that old. Should I even ask what came out of your old couch?

I HATE couch cleaning day! Never know what I am going to find.

@Mrs. M- my mother in law ran a nursery school in NY. A former parent worked on the travelling crew for Big Comfy Couch. When they decided to replace it, they donated the old one to my MIL's school. It was weird to have a couch where the cushion was higher than my hips. My kids all LOVED it though!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

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...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
