slumber party!

I have to confess, Trev. I have been SO consumed with rescuing you...that in the process your brother & sister have felt a bit left out. So...I came up with the idea to throw a slumber party. Just the three of us. We snuggled up in our jamies. Munched munchies. Giggled a lot - mostly at Bristel cause she says the funniest things.

Like -

Bristel: I want eggs


Me: Bri-bee I already made noodles
Bristel: But I want eggs

Toby: noodles have more vitamins

Bristel: vitamins????

Toby: yes, like vitamin B & E & D...(blah blah blah went the lengthy lecture about how butter & parmesan laden egg noodles are better for your body than real eggs)

Me: (silently battling my conscience...do I tell my son that mommy was too tired to make healthy food for our slumber party...that slumber parties are about junk food...or do I let him continue to blissfully believe the noddles will turn him into Nick Markakis someday?)

Bristel: (applies hand to forehead quite dramatically)

Me: (concerned by hand on forehead) do you have a headache, Bri?

Bristel: (quite exasperated) I DON'T CARE about vitamins Toby!

Everybody...including daddy from his post at the computer: (cracked up - finding it hysterical that a two year could think like that!)





It was really really nice - that slumber party! Hmmm...maybe it'll become a regular thing? And then someday...when you're big enough...and sleeping through the night enough...you can join us. And giggle at your silly sister too!


And maybe next time we'll blow up the air-mattress too. The couch was kinda crowded with Toby's long athlete legs & Bri-bee's night time rolly-pollies!


Okay...and maybe next time I'll actually make healthy snacks to munch. Maybe!

I have to admit -- I laughed out loud visualizing the whole vitamin thing. Which maybe I could teach Toby about nutrition ...
btw - I really liked your whole slumber party thing, too. Although I did miss Bristel asking me if that was her very special chocolate milk that I made for her this morning.

LOL...yeah no very special chocolate milk down here!

We did have fun tho!

And Bristel is a hoot with some of the things she comes up with!

Hey I think Bristel has a lovey just like Connor's.

The party looked like SO much fun. There should NEVER be healthy snacks at a sleepover :)

Bristel is addicted to blankies! We survived 2 years in Africa with just one...but since we've been Stateside she's accumulated, like, 20 or so! Including the one in the pic...which she pirated away from Trev! LOL!

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 ...
