Awards


"Trish" over an "Another Piece of the Puzzle" and at "Autism Interrupted" and updates her "Twitter" more frequently than I can manage and at "5 Minutes for Special Needs Mums".......... and who knows wherever else she manages to put her mark[!] what a busy body she must be[!] has given this blog it's first ever blog award! Thank you so much for including us. I feel the need to share this event with Nonna, without whose co-operation.......or non-co-operation, this blog would not have been possible!

The rules are as follows:-
'Copy, save and add the blog photo to your blog, share the love with 7 of your favorite blogs and be sure to mention who gave it to you (ahem…that would be me…)'

Firstly to "Sandra" at "Add Humor and Faith" who always lifts my spirits even though her humour lacks a 'u.' I think I shall probably be de-listed if I mention that I'd kill for a favion like hers.

Then to "Aspie Mom" at "Aspie Days" yet another body that needs a tutorial on the art of the use of 'u's........

Also for "Chris H" at "Diet Coke Rocks" as her irreverant brand of humour is right up my street, even if I prefer a lightly chilled Chablis. Cheers

Then to the thoroughly gorgeous and highly prolific "Angela" at "Memoirs of a Chaotic Mommy,"
who spends an inordinate amount of time whizzing around the blogosphere providing "Inspiration", "assistance" and "support" in oh so many different flavours. Another one that can't manage a simple 'u.'

Also for the tantalizing "Tanya" at "Teen Autism," if only she'd adopt that tagline who knows how many followers she might lure[?] or maybe not? Anyone who can mother teens and still have the face of an angel is someone I refuse to share my cream with......there again, Vaseline isn't everyone's first choice in the beauty department.

Then to "Anne" at "Anne's House" as she has almost as many peeves as me but is a more willing sharer, whereas I just keep grumbling.

Also for "Jewel Girl" at "Sandwiched Mom." What can I say? I know that there must be millions of people out there who are similarly situated but so far we are very few and far between.

Then to "Osh" at "The House that Osh Built," paving the way a few miles ahead on the bell curve, blazing a trail and leading the way.

Also to "Tut tut" who blogs at "Inside the Shell" . Whilst as she says herself, her postings are 'occasional' they are certainly worth waiting for.

And lastly to "Joker" at "The musings of a lurcher," who has experienced ever such a troublesome year and so hopefully will enjoy a far better one this year. You never know, "Thatcher" and "Joker" may become pen pals!

Cheers dears

p.s. I would have loved to have included all the 'anonymouses' but sadly you have not made yourselves know to me.

Best wishes

I love your blog award


"Barbara" over at "Ther Extras" although that's the first time I've ever noticed the extra r! have very kindly awarded this new blog the 'I love your blog' award. Thank you so much for thinking of me, as that means this is my first award for this new blog = how frightfully confusing it all is. It's like being made a virgin all over again, not that I'm not still a virgin as all those children were dug out of the compost heap.

"Dantes Inferno with Children" because I'm pretty sure her mum and mine are related.

"The Phantom Scribbler" now that she has miraculously been resurrected, I had almost given up hope!

"Genevieve Hinson" who blogs at "Mother of Confusion" amongst her many, many other activities.

Also to "Kaber" and her blog "All About [my] Boys" as to have three children on the spectrum and home-school them, is far more of a challenge.

Then to "Everlasting Mercy" who blogs at "The Ancient One," it's hard to decide which of those 'titles' I prefer!

Also to "Jayne" who blogs at "Our Great Southern Land," as she's always a soft spot for me to land on when my brain is burned.

And lastly to "Dulwichmum" because we both struggle to conquer Wordpress and all it's fiendish ways, together we shall never be defeated! {especially if I cheat and hang on to my older blogger beta!}

Cheers dears

Comment of the week

A blogless, but otherwise highly intelligent person, emailed me this week to point out that not only was I muddling one week with another, but additionally, I was muddling one blog with several others. I plead guilty on both counts. However, it did prompt another stunningly brilliant idea! Why not give the award on each blog? Far less confusing, well for me at least.

Hence this post is repeated on "alien" and "Sandwich" but with different awardees. http://letitbeautism.blogspot.com/

{Don't want you to have to wade through this more than once, just skip to the end.}

Another brilliant person "mit blog" castigated me [in the nicest possible way!] for my neglect of the "Hub," which once again I need to ‘fes up to,’ as we Americans are wont to say. I’m lucky if I mange to read through the first two or three postings in the list and since my intelligence quotient is at an all time low, I rarely comment either. Ooo the irony.

Since I am now on a confessional streak, I would also admit that I have spent time on the "photo blogs" for several reasons. Firstly I like "piccies." I am a very visual person.

Secondly, it is far easier to choose a "picture" and post it, than it is to write intelligently. Whilst I continue to take daily notes on our doings, it is hard work to channel that material into something worth reading. There again, if your enjoy reading schedules and lists who am I to criticize. Just think of it as my attempt at quality control.

The photo blogs also have the advantage of a thoroughly international flavour. This means that I can convince myself that instead of embalming my brain, I am really learning to be a linguist. This is sure to come in handy in the future when I travel round the world. I shall be able to say ‘post comment, email, URL, spam filter, preview and post,’ in every language in the world.

In my defense, all I can say is that I promise to try to do better soonishly.



I still struggle to juggle!

Sad to say that Ricky has had to go as he was crashing everyone's computer. [some kind of bug] Hence this rather dull replacement. I shall try and spend some time removing Ricky's bugs from all my sites. Humble Apologies







[Inspired by "Scribbit."]

This week's award goes to "Patois" at "Whee all the way home" for her comment on the post "below" where she writes as follows:-

'Soon, very soon, it will be too cold to enjoy that water, water everywhere. Oh, wait, they're kids. It's never too cold."

Kids! They're all alike.
