AP, I need to borrow your party-hat child for the next sad occasion. That is so sweet... nothing like a child to make you smile and see the beauty in the circle of life.

I have a "bucket-o-fun" at my house but there are certainly no chicken catapults in it, that's way more fun than me. i just have crafty junk and silly putty!

i cannot stop coughing. i feel fine, i just can't stop the effing cough. i had to cancel an infant session today and i really hope i'm better by mid next week!!!

I don't know how you can call it a fun bucket without the chicken catapult.

seriously the rubber chicken should be on my aunts family crest. They always appear when she's around. We told her we'll put it on her headstone and festoon her wake with garlands of rubber chickens. (she's not dying but being at a funeral always thinks of future ones).

04JaxBride · September 2011

ih i have discussed my funeral and the post-party with various family members. if $$ allows, we should have pony rides and spinning teacups! but only if they are happy ponies, no sad ponies.

we also have a pic of me in a leprechaun hat (with beard). i've expressed that it is to be one of the larger items displayed.

i had NOT considered rubber chickens, but i am totally on board.

my grandma is going to die soon, and i am at peace with it. she is already most of the way there, it's just a matter of when her name is called by God at this point. her consciousness level is dropping, she has been sleeping hard most of today. she did move her hand when my aunt told her i was there, so i held it a while, gave her a kiss, and told her goodbye and that i love her.

even now, though, she looks so good, and is so peaceful. there isn't much more i could ask for. no pain, no suffering.

I am so happy for your family that she is peaceful and not in pain. And for your grandmother that she is surrounded in love.

and now I'm all teary and sniffly for the drive home from work. Crying

Why is my 16 yr old niece's facebook status - Wake&Bake!
And why isn't she in school??????
Probably to torture you and her Dad.
And doesn't school get out at 3 for some high schoolers?
If you talk to her, tell her Joseph misses her.

not those nieces. i would really freak out if it was one of them.

and they miss joseph, too. they just loved him.

I'm watching Children of 9/11 and I am a mess. Especially now that I have kids, this is so much more difficult to watch. I don't know how I'm going to handle all of the 9/11 coverage this week.

missjake · September 2011

I cannot stop watching 9-11 shows. Still hurts as much now as it did then. On a side note, I met my DH the week before 9-11- can't believe it's been 10 years.

i've been watching some of it, but i can only watch so much. it's weird how usually time makes things more "blurry" and easier to take - for some reason with 9/11 it seems to get worse. it may be the media coverage of it i guess, making you live it over and over again

I do too. I can't deal with it. DH gets mad because I turn off the radio or television or leave the room when 9/11 stuff comes on. But it causes me to emotionally re-live that day, not knowing if my father was alive & the year that DH was deployed. And I just don't have the strength to watch any of it.

Dear DH, it really helps when you have a SA done to actually get the S in the cup!!! Love, your very frustrasted, and stressed wife.

Yep, he did a SA at home and when he was done, there was so little in the cup you could barely see it. He said, "sorry, it was hard to aim." We took it in and they said they could test it, but I'm just worried and frustrated that he got more outside the cup than inside. They said we won't get the results for at least 10 days. It took me almost a year to talk him in to actually doing it, and when he does he gets less than a 1/2 a teaspoon sample.

Remember this? Well, got the results today...or the lacking of results. Yep, they want a repeat because it was incomplete.

I think I'm going to have him wait to repeat until next week. That way we'll find out if I'm pregnant or not. I don't think I am, but I would hate for him to repeat if there is no need to...KWIM?

I watched something on YouTube a couple of nights ago. It was a home video taken from a nearby apartment, one I've never seen before - for nearly 30 minutes I just sat on the couch watching. I couldn't turn away.

I don't know what was worse - watching the second plane fly in live on TV and being completely freaked out because we had no idea what was going on... or watching it 10 years later, and knowing the outcome.

We were watching at my office that day. Seeing the Towers collapse will forever be ingrained in my mind.

Last week National Geographic channel had a whole bunch of 9/11 programming, and I kept finding myself drawn to it.

For me, watching the 2nd plane fly in now was much worse - every time they show a snippet of it, I start crying.

I just discovered MIL has a Twitter account. She's never tweeted anything, and only follows one thing (her electric company), which tells me she probably doesn't really know how to use it, but still - Confused

I hope he doesn't need to repeat it. Fingers crossed!!!

We just got the results back from the hundreds of dollars worth of SA's. Nada. Everything looked ok. His blood work showed some small irregularities though. We go in for our follow-up next Friday.

I keep looking at this hoping it's a doll because this can't be a real child right? Not that a doll would be a whole lot better.
