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

I truly am working on two halfway decent posts.  Sadly though, I’m really really slow, kind of dumb, extremely unorganized and crazy busy preparing for Christmas and getting ready to visit Colorado for the holidays. Yup, boy and his parents are getting on a plane.  It could be really fun.  It could suck ass (the […]

  • Courtney - Have a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy your plane ride, I have been on MANY with my kiddos. Some have been Heaven, and others, well, you know. Good luck! I can’t wait to read about your trip!December 22, 2012 – 10:10 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Thanks so much, Courtney! I’m really hoping for the good plane ride…we’ve had airport visits that are so much fun because Tucker’s into watching the planes. And we’ve had ones where our fellow passengers want to kill us and look at us like we’re the worst parents in the world for not being able to control our crazy monkey…
      Merry Christmas to you, too! I can’t wait to see what you all do with your family. And you BETTER post photos. By the way, you’ve convinced me to go for the “big girl camera” as you put it. But my first stop is to find out whether my dad has one that he’s not using due to an upgrade. Wish me luck. And thanks for the advice! <3 Happy happy to you and yours!December 22, 2012 – 10:53 pmReplyCancel

  • Joy - Happy Holidays to you and your family! Hope you have a good and safe trip! Enjoy your days with family! Take care!
    Love,

      • Joy - Hi Kristi,
        No, this year my parents will come and visit us while my sister and her family visit my brother-in-law´’s parents. Can’t wait to meet my parents tomorrow! 🙂
        Love,

I’ve been trying to finish a funny post about my dog.  The bones are there, but it’s just not to the point where it makes me laugh like a maniac all by myself in the way that this dog story did. It started this morning after I dropped Tucker off at school.  It was the […]

  • Joy - Aw, seriously, that poem breaks my heart 🙁December 21, 2012 – 2:49 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - I know. Mine, too. After reading that, there was no way I was able to write a funny post today. I feel guilty but also feel that if this blog isn’t about my emotions, even when they’re lingering on sadness, what’s the point? Thanks for the comment, Joy of my joy.December 21, 2012 – 3:13 pmReplyCancel

      • Joy - Don’t feel guilty about what you feel and about what you write! I always try to come up with some funny post but somehow that does not work for me, which I am somehow sad about. Many more people would read it if it was funnier. But in the end this is what is going on in my mind, this is who I am. Starting my blog was such a spontaneous idea, I never intended to blog, and now I am wondering where all my blogging will lead to. Or if it is even meaningful what I write.
        I think your blog is wonderful! xoxo
        Love,
        JoyDecember 21, 2012 – 5:44 pmReplyCancel

        • admin - You are so sweet. Your blog is YOU and it will evolve as it is meant to. You do not need to be funny for people to read. Don’t be sad about that. Your blog is perfect as it is and it is very meaningful. If only one mom appreciates hearing about Sunny and feels less alone with no diagnosis, then we’ve both done our jobs, right? And too, I actually get more comments on sentimental mommy stuff than I do funny stuff (usually). Plus, funny is HARD. Stuff I think is super funny maybe leaves some people going “um…”
          Keep blogging. <3December 21, 2012 – 7:22 pmReplyCancel

          • Joy - Thank you Kristi, I needed this!December 22, 2012 – 12:45 am

  • admin - JOY JOY JOY of my Joy…WordPress (boo) limits my replies. But please keep blogging. I did mine in the opposite way. I wrote, and I wrote and I wrote. And then I was like “HUH.” So I published the pages that nobody ever looks at anyway. Blogging is HARD. It’s hard to think of things every day. But every time I feel like stopping, I get one comment from a mum who is in the “middle world” and it’s worth it. I want you to know that none of that happened for at least maybe 12 weeks??? A guess? You’ve been doing this for what – one month??? Keep going. You will find where it needs to be. And believe it or not, it is already leading you there. Just listen.
    Loves and hugs,,,,,huge…

    • admin - And actually that is NOT true, what I just said. Every time I feel like stopping, it takes 10 posts to get one from a mum who it means something to. Why do you think I was so thankful for YOU?!??! HUGSDecember 22, 2012 – 1:03 amReplyCancel

      • Joy - I would really like to hug you in real life now!! You are probably right. Thank you for this!
        Time to go to bed now for you, isn’t it? We just got up and will have breakfast now. Isn’t it gorgeous that we can interact although we are so far away from each other? I love the internet!!
        Much love,
        JoyDecember 22, 2012 – 1:15 amReplyCancel

        • admin - I love the internet and YOU! And yes I should have gone to bed, as it was after 1am when I finally did and somebody was up at 7 this morning. Sigh. Tired. And I’d like to hug you in real life too! And I am right, just keep going. I know some days it’s hard, but it’s worth it. <3December 22, 2012 – 8:35 amReplyCancel

          • Joy - I will keep going, I promise!
            Sunny woke up at 5:30 this morning, it is his usual wake up time, so: no weekend here! 😉December 22, 2012 – 10:40 am

  • Stephanie @ Mommy, for real. - Wow. That one really resonated with me. I have felt such comforting connecting with all those “friends I will likely never meet” and knowing that all of you are also struggling with the balance between grief and “being funny again”. I am right there with you. Really great post.December 23, 2012 – 2:58 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Aw Stephanie, thank you so much. It’s so reassuring to hear that I’m not alone – that it is, indeed, ALL OF US who are struggling with the balance. Thank you so much for visiting and for the awesome comment!December 23, 2012 – 5:18 pmReplyCancel

You know how every once in a while, you’re somewhere, doing something mundane and all of a sudden, you look up and realize that the night is totally beautiful?  That was me, last night, while walking the dog.  I looked up and was like “It’s so gorgeous!  What a lovely huge moon!  And so many […]

  • Jennifer - I think your tree glistening drawing is really good! I can smell the crisp air!!December 21, 2012 – 11:08 amReplyCancel

Last night, Tucker wanted me to draw a ninee on his hand.  What?  He did! Really! Ok fine.  It was totally me.  The seventh-grader within obviously hadn’t done enough doodling on her friends back in the day because I’ve gotta admit that I didn’t even think about it.  The ink pen was out.  Tucker was […]

  • Joy - Yay for that cool airplane that Tucker drew on your hand!December 20, 2012 – 12:47 amReplyCancel

    • admin - I know! I think it was a fluke, though. I couldn’t get him to repeat the awesomeness…December 20, 2012 – 7:33 pmReplyCancel

  • Sara - Who googles “anything”?? People have way too much time on their hands. But yaay YOU for being the go-to gal on the subject of creepy elf on the shelf! Down with the elf! Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of elf on the shelf pooping pictures. So glad you don’t participate in that whole BigBrotherIsWatchingYou (in the creepiest way possible) ritual.

    (Nice ninees, btw!)December 20, 2012 – 10:11 amReplyCancel

    • admin - I felt sorry for the person who googled “anything,” actually and hope that they were not just full of despair, looking for something. If so, I’m sure I disappointed. thanks for the comment!!December 20, 2012 – 7:33 pmReplyCancel
