God Says “hahahahahaha”, Once Again

This Facebook page originated from a fundraiser I began over a year ago for my youngest son.

He was diagnosed with Gastropareses, Asthma and Oral Dysphagia and severe Reflux.  We traveled all over the country to get the right diagnoses, the right meds, the right therapies and the right treatment plan.  I really, really thought that once we had him squared away we were good.  But, hence the title- we make plans and God laughs.  Why can’t He throw money while He laughs? That way his sensory needs would be met and my financial needs would be met. I like it.

Anyways, I was closing this thing- which was then a Give Forward site. but people kept asking me where to send money.  So I started this thing through Facebook and Paypal.  I guess I’m glad I did because between everyone in this house and the fact that no one can work, not to mention we weren’t rich to start with…….kinda sucks.  But not always.  I have another son who has been in and out of many therapies since  he was 3.  He is now 10.  He asked that we send him where he can be helped and we did.  The whole family moved 200 miles cuz we love him. Can’t say we haven’t blown a ton on therapy stuff- but if it helps, it’s well worth it.

As we were moving hubby was diagnosed  with pretty much the worst MS you can get. His infusions are so much I can’t bring myself to type it.  Just one punch after the other, at least let us breath!

I just checked my yard again and I still don’t have that ding dang money tree I ordered. What can ya do?

At any rate- I think you can get to our Facebook link through here so if you get the chance to click on it and read the whole story- nothing on earth would make this mama more happy than seeing a few extra likes on there and FOR SURE  a few extra shares!

SO PLEASE, PASS THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS, TO YOUR FAMILIES, BEG FOR LIKES BEG FOR SHARES= I BEG OF YOU!!!!! (even though I’m sooooo not a begger)

“My Family Is A Freak Show Without The Tent”

Freak Show

I was outside planting green things and organizing rocks, gardening some may call it (which I happen to hate, but its quiet so I do it), and it crossed my mind; if anyone were on the outside looking in, there is a darn good chance they would mistake our whole family for actors who were putting on one heck of a show.  The thing is- we’re not! This zoo is our life and it is so insane that even I have to do a double take sometimes!

I saw this sign once in a hospital gift shop, which you will totally get once you know me.  It said “My family is a freak show without a tent.”  Someone who has crossed the path of someone from my household wrote those words.  Sad, but true.  You’ll see.

I hope you’ll hop on our roller coaster and enjoy the ride.  We’ve learned a lot, we’re still learning.  We’ve screwed up a lot- we always will. We have good times and bad.  Things suck and then rock.  At the end of the day when the house is silent and the kiddos are sleeping- I look back carefully.  If that day had more ‘goods’ than ‘bads’, if everyone is still alive and more things than not are in tact then we have had a good day.  Every once in a long while I swear I REALLY hear God giggling at what we have done with what He has given us.  Funny.  Ha-ha. Can’t wait to see the humor the good Lord sees :-).
