Random wrap-up

If you visit Finding Ninee on a regular basis, you know that I don’t usually do wrap-ups.  While it’s true that many of the cool kids do them weekly, for some reason, they historically have left a bad taste in my mouth.  I had to wonder why and explore this.  Maybe the bad taste is due to feeling like everybody who visits already knows about all the stuff I wrote, drew, Pinned and Tweeted recently.  But you guys are super busy.  Maybe, in fact, you’d appreciate a wrap-up.  I realized that I have no reason not to love wrap-ups and really, my prejudice against them is unfair.  And I’m nothing if not fair.

My desire for fairness started early.  Probably because my mom so obviously liked my brother more than me.

Anyway, I still can’t go for the weekly wrap-up because that implies that I might actually commit to doing it, like, weekly.  However, I can throw down with the cool dudes and provide you with my own lazy, haphazard version of a wrap-up right now.  In fact, who makes the rules here but me?  So here you go.  This is a random wrap-up that may include stuff from this week, or not.  Fun right?  No?  Ok, then come back later this week and I’ll tell you about how Snowquester made me an Oscar-worthy actress.

Still here?  Huh.  Ok.  I unsuccessfully tried to start a campaign to make the whole “Spring Forward” daylight savings time thing happen at 11:00am on a Monday rather than in the middle of the night on my weekend.  So far, it hasn’t made much progress.  It’s still 6:20pm instead of 5:20pm.  Maybe if I start earlier, next year.

Let’s see.  What else?  Oh!  I wrote about what it feels like to be a special needs mom and got more comments than I ever have before.  There weren’t any stupid drawings (note to self?).

Although I do not use the word “retard,” I have been known to use the word “f*cktard” and didn’t even think about the link.  Slow, I know.  I’m trying to evolve. In case you’re wondering, no, I was not bright enough to come up with this on my own. Ellen from Love that Max wrote a Babble piece and featured a quote and a photo of Tucker and I in it. I felt sort of important for a minute.

Did you guys know that my appliances hate me?  No?  See proof here. I used to be much pinker. Weird, right?

I don’t want to end without something mushy.  Plus, Tucker and I spent some super-awesome time outdoors today living in the moment and we all can use a reminder about simply absorbing the perfection our kids are, no matter what.  So I’ll leave you with a link to Liminal Moments.

PS – It has been brought to my attention that you guys don’t realize that I hover between number two and five in ranking in the category “Special Needs Blogs” on Top Mommy Blogs and that you, my friends, can actually click that pretty brown button on my home page every single day.  So I thought it might be worth a mention here.  In fact here you go – you can click right now!  You don’t even need to do anything else.  Just click.  Easy! Breezy! And it’s time to eat some cheesy!

Happy Sunday, pals.
