Finding Ninee » Sharing our parenting and special needs stories with heart and humor.

Usually, I’ve got nothing but massive amounts of love for my car’s navigational system. Because I am so horribly directionally challenged, I use it pretty much all the time.  Even when I know which way to go, I sometimes ask her to provide me with route guidance just to see what time she thinks we’ll […]

  • Joy - Tee hee! Glad you still found your way! 🙂
    BTW, I love those pictures painted by you! How do you do them?November 28, 2012 – 8:17 amReplyCancel

    • admin - Thanks, Joy! I just do them in Photoshop with a mouse. It’d probably be easier with a touchpad but I don’t have one, so…November 28, 2012 – 9:49 amReplyCancel

      • Joy - I might have to try that, too! 🙂November 28, 2012 – 11:28 amReplyCancel

        • admin - It’s actually tons of fun. Whether anybody appreciates how bad they are or not, I have a blast drawing the pics!November 28, 2012 – 11:30 amReplyCancel

  • Sara - Ha! Sounds like Tucker’s been re-programming it to mess w/ Mommy! …..OR…maybe it’s nothing nefarious at all and she just KNEW that there was traffic and road closures you should avoid, thereby saving you hours of headache and aggravation. She might still have your back.

    Btw, I have found SO many ninees in the pictures. I’ve gotten really good at it. *beam, beam*November 28, 2012 – 10:02 amReplyCancel

    • admin - Sara, be proud! You’re the number one ninee finder. Next time you visit, you can choose your own tiny ninee from our collection (when Tucker’s not looking of course and I have to make sure it’s not a favorite that he’ll search for). YAY YOU!November 28, 2012 – 10:55 amReplyCancel

I was prepared to throw myself a raging blogpost pity party due to the fact that the link love extravaganza I attempted to get all jiggy with didn’t have any links.  I felt like I was hanging out at my birthday party table all alone.  Sure, it’s nice to not have to share my cake, […]

  • Sara - Oh, man! I’m so glad you were saved from the Pity Party (though I would definitely help you eat cake!). I was planning to post a link, but none came to mind off the top of my head and, of course, I’m up to my ears in writing for NaNoWriMo so didn’t have the resources to find one. Sorry I’ll be late to the party, but glad someone else stepped up. (Thank you, i can say mama!)November 26, 2012 – 12:57 pmReplyCancel

  • Joy - Hi Kristi,
    Just thought I might hop over and say hello personally – more or less!
    I am so happy that my post kept you from drowning in a depression 😉 and I am really looking forward to having you as my new online BFF! And hey, I love me some cake, so be sure I will join you at the party table very often!
    Love,
    JoyNovember 26, 2012 – 2:07 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Ha, thanks Joy! Cake for both of us! Yay for blogging moms with no diagnosis! YAY us! 🙂November 26, 2012 – 5:46 pmReplyCancel

Before I began blogging, I knew nothing about it. I’m not exaggerating. I didn’t even read other people’s blogs. I didn’t look for them or at them. I was totally and completely removed from the blogging world. How did I get here? Hm. I wonder, too. Basically, I’d written a bunch of stuff (which you […]

  • Sara - Can we only leave a link to our own blog or can we link someone else’s blog that had a particularly good piece?November 25, 2012 – 1:42 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Sara, I don’t see why you couldn’t link somebody’s blog that has a good piece. As long as you think he/she won’t mind (maybe send them a comment that you’re doing it). Plus, as you can see, my dreams for this particular party leave me alone with my cake. Sniffle, sniffle.November 25, 2012 – 6:11 pmReplyCancel

  • admin - Hi, to the author of “I can say mama” – tried to comment on your blog but had problems with the site verification codes (I tried 6 or 7 times and it kept telling me that it was incorrect). I think there might be an issue there. Anyway, wanted to say THANK YOU and I love your post. Very well said. You are so right that developmental delay means everything and nothing. I linked to you from my post today so I hope you’ll see lots of traffic! Best wishes.November 26, 2012 – 12:52 pmReplyCancel

    • Joy - Hey Kristi,
      Thank you for your time and effort to try and comment. I just tried it and had no problems, although it was not easy to read. Anyway, as I like my readers to comment I turned off the site verification codes. Now you can hop over and say hi if you like to!
      I am so glad that you liked my post! Thank you for sharing it!
      I will read your blog within the next days (luckily, your blog is quite new, too! 😉 ). I think there is a lot in here that I will like, too!November 26, 2012 – 4:49 pmReplyCancel

  • mdbc77 - finally got the post written and linked!November 29, 2012 – 5:55 amReplyCancel

    • admin - YAY, thank you so much! 🙂 It’s an AWESOME post, too! People, go check out Meet the Cottons! WP won’t let me put HTML into comments but her link is above. Really, go spread some love! November 29, 2012 – 10:30 amReplyCancel

      • mdbc77 - you’re welcome! you should put a link to this on your side bar! but, don’t ask me how to do it!November 29, 2012 – 10:33 amReplyCancel

        • admin - I know! Honestly, sometimes I think I shouldn’t be allowed to have a blog because I’m totally inept at doing things like that! But I’ll work on it. Or just create a page…hmm…November 29, 2012 – 10:41 amReplyCancel

  • Courtney - Ah, I just read the how to on this! I will link back to you the next time i blog. I was on a roll, but life is getting in my way. I need to get back to this, it is my therapy. I love your blog and I will return!!!November 30, 2012 – 12:34 pmReplyCancel

We should still be hanging out with my in-laws, out of town, but Tucker was sick.  AGAIN.  I’d heard rumors that once kids start preschool that they’re sick A LOT, but sortof felt immune, and figured the anti-germ death rays collected in the millions of community activities we’ve participated in might have prepared his immune […]

  • Henriette - Yup, those drawings pretty much sums up my life!
    Sick toddler – check
    Sick toddler in bed – check
    No sleep since – too many days to even remember, – check

    Don’t even get me started on taking said sick toddler to a doctor the day after TG! Took us 3 1/2 hours of waiting, diagnosed with ear infection and acute upper respiratory infection. Got the meds, looking forward to some sleep. Eventually. 🙂November 23, 2012 – 11:19 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Oh no! UGH. Hope your bebe is better SOON and that you can finally get some sleep. Them being in the bed always sounds good. But, it’s really ugly to wake up with a butt on your head, a finger up your nose, or a foot in your face.
      Here’s to happy dreams, tonight! For all of you! 🙂November 23, 2012 – 11:47 pmReplyCancel

  • Pam - This is hilarious. Thanks for sharing your family with all of us. I really enjoy your posts.November 24, 2012 – 4:50 pmReplyCancel

  • Shell - Love your drawings! Having any of my kids end up sleeping in my bed- never ends well. They are bed hogs and no matter how they sleep, find a way to kick me in the head.November 25, 2012 – 2:51 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Thanks, Shell! It must be programed into them to kick us in the head. Thanks for visiting. And commenting! Yay, to comments…November 25, 2012 – 6:15 pmReplyCancel

  • Deb @ Urban Moo Cow - Ha! It’s so true. I don’t understand how people ever sleep with their kids. H either tries to divebomb off the bed or play with my hair, nose, whatever…

    Your son is super cute, btw.

    Did you do a site redesign?April 28, 2013 – 3:25 pmReplyCancel

  • Kristi - Hey Deb,
    I did actually do a site redesign. I used Julie from Fabulous Blogging and she did a great job. If you’re interested (not that you need it because you DO NOT but she also helps if you’ve got admin questions), please let her know that I sent you – she’s started a referral program recently. Thanks for the comment! Oh and I think Tucker’s pretty cute myself. As is Henry! Adorable little boys 🙂April 28, 2013 – 3:47 pmReplyCancel

  • Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedly - Oh my goodness, this is awesome, love the images 🙂 So know that! How can a 25-inch baby can take up an entire king-size bed? Our girls were horrible co-sleepers as babies, but now they are usually pretty awesome, except when they are sick. Hope your little one got past the bug-phase quickly!April 28, 2013 – 3:57 pmReplyCancel

  • Jen - Don’t tell anyone, but Isaiah still sleeps with us. Last night I woke up to excruciating pain in my side and it was his bowling ball head trying to push me off the bed! BTW did laugh out loud at the pictures as always!April 28, 2013 – 11:46 pmReplyCancel

  I am thankful. For everything. Happy Thanksgiving, all.
