Re: MckFlurry's ultrasound today

Still waiting for Disqus to go away - it truly has a deep hatred for me! Keeps me from biting my tongue to bleeding however! (Israel that one was for you! ;) )

MckFlurry, your nose IS the cutest thing I TOO have seen all year! I cannot wait to meet you! :)

I am glad to hear that things went markedly well today! I say don't worry until there is something to worry about! Both of my kids showed VSD's via ultra sound and both were born with no defect at all. I have faith that God has taught all of the hard (heart) lessons he had for you, and this will be smooth sailing! Love ya!

How many times can one use the word "thinking" in one small paragraph. Oy!

I have to tell you something funny... Last night we were watching the new show "9 by Design" and BOTH Jim and I said, Jennifer should name her new baby "Five" like the Novagratz's... (Five's twin is Holleder).

Thought you would get a kick out of that!

I am trying to remember if you told us the name you were thinking of at Hilary's, but then was thinking it was one of the other pregnant ladies... Hmmmm... Now I am thinking it wasn't you because Henry is all I am remembering! haha

I like Declan. Maybe you need something to fit into the acronym without losing the new little bundle in someone elses "Mcks"... like maybe an "A" to make it "Macks" or "I" to make it "Micks". Not that you would, but if you follow that adice, then I recommend, eh hem, because my opinion matters...

Thats all I have - should go to work! See you soon! lo

Re: Mommy Blogger Jennifer McKinney Giving Away iPad for Good Cause

Nancy, thank you for your opinion, but I would like to share with you the one simple fact, I know her personally, very well in fact, so what I say I know.

I simply do not understand why so many of you waste your time bashing someone you really do not know. I hope that some day you all can feel the microscope on your lives so you can understand how she feels.

I have never called her a saint, and I have never said she "sits at home" raising her almost 5 kids.

I am appalled at what I am reading. I am not surprised because Jennifers "followers" seem to be watching her from every direction. I was just saying to someone withdrawn from this situation that if I do not like someone I tend to stay away from them, but I think the true limelight seekers are those who choose to negate every good thing Jennifer and Israel do.

I love the McKinney family dearly and I respect the choices Jennifer has made to not only raise awareness for causes that need it, as well as earn money for her family. Nothing that she is doing is illegal or immoral and I wish that everyone who lambastes her would remember that when they go to work every day and make the choices they make everyday, and spend the money they make at their jobs, that she is doing the same. She chose a line of work that is profitable for her family and allows her to raise her going on 5 very young children.

Israel this one is for you: I am trying to silence the bleeding tongue!

Much love to you Jen and family and see you soon! lo

Oh Disqus we will miss you on Wordpress! I know you love me so much you want me to log in everytime I even consider a comment.

So LOTS of big news! Next time we sit across the room from each other, it better be for hours, cuz' I missed a lot! haha!

LOVED your "focus" video! I WILL admit that I was wondering what was folded on the shelves in the closet behind you and then wondered - "does Jen know that the closet door is open?" In answer to your "Obsessed" question??? I AM OBSESSED with closed closet doors, cabinets and toilet lids.

O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D.! Can't sleep if any are open even a smidge!

I cannot wait until you break up with Disqus - it disq-g-us-ts me!

Anywho, Big Mac cracks me! Many of his mannerisms (sans removing bricks from patios and collecting sticks) remind me of Jadon - he "works" with Lego's and lots and lots of drawing. He loves tape and stickers as well. So much that the art work often gets carried away - and he is 7... Big Mac (who by the way I want to keep shortening to BM, but it doesnt sound right! ha!) could teach Jadon a few things!

Off to watch your video! love ya! lo

Kami, it was nice to see you again! I know that it took me all morning to figure it out, and I already congratulated you, but thought I would do so once more! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! lo

I left my catalog AND your business card at Hilary's - can you send me the link to your pc website? gatorsb8@embarqmail.com

Other than the fact that half of those items would put me in anaphylactic shock, the color is gorgeous, but I don't know that even if I could eat it I would. I still love you tho! haha

My bowl contained Jasmine Rice, Petite Diced Tomato's, fresh mushrooms and a piece of blackened grilled salmon. Low cal/low fat for 60 days = 20#!

justlori2day — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:31:03 -0000

I ask my kids (*and husband) all of the time "why" they love me. I never get an answer as good as "because I do stuff" its usually "because".

Haha! lo

Welcome home!!!!

justlori2day — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:27:02 -0000

Comments like this suck the life out of the purpose of the post. They also hurt my tongue - because people like you make me bite it hard.

You ROCK PC!

I love hearing your side.

You both have sent me into a tail spin of emotion these past few weeks. I think the timing of your trip was perfect. When I was at church on Wednesday for Stations of the Cross (Catholic), I used to avoid that day because it called for alot of kneeling and genuflecting, which both hurt alot for someone with Fibromyalgia. But last week, I actually found myself entranced in the readings - the nailing of Jesus to the cross, the pain he suffered for my sins.

I think what you and Jen have shared in the past few weeks made me forget my pain and imagine someone elses for a moment and pray harder for those who are in need of our love and compassion.

I know the heart of your lovely wife - I have seen it up close and personal - but to know yours too makes me smile even bigger when I think of you both surviving all you have been through.

Thank you! :) lo

It was done on purpose to keep MckDaddy and MckMama post's separately.

Re: these faces

justlori2day — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:11:25 -0000

I too have missed seeing those faces!

When I saw Stellans today on this post I said out loud - I CANNOT believe how much all of the sudden he looks just like PC! I see you in all of those beautiful faces, but today, I really see PC in Stellan.

Can't wait to see more of them!

So happy you are home - in my selfishness - knowing you are home safe means so much!

I wept so often seeing your photo's in the past two weeks. I wish we ALL could experience what you have been blessed to experience, and even more than that, I wish we all could give away that which we do not need to those who have not. Time for Spring cleaning in so many more ways than one.... You know what I mean. Love ya! lo

Re: what a day

justlori2day — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:25:07 -0000

I love the day you both spent with Miichelle! How wonderful - I especially loved the photo that JEN posted of the two of you on the swing where YOU were screaming like a little girl (or so I imagine). What a wonderful day!

Tell Jen that since I still haven't learned not to click on your picture to get to your posts that she should just help her lame friend out and make your picture link to your posts! hahaha!

Enjoy your last days! I am so proud of you all and WILL be sponsoring a child in Kenya soon - I can't wait!

My heart has always been soft, but your experiences have softened it even more.

Re: just for the record

The "right time" is not for anyone but Jen to determine. She has been chastized for breathing the same air as some naysayers, and while trying to do God's work half a world away people are still accusing her of nasty things, so yes, now is as good a time as any other.

I said this a few weeks ago, and will repeat it, Jen will NEVER be able to make everyone happy, but no one and no thing is on this earth to do just that, that would be a true false Prophet. Today is not your day to agree with her, and that is ok. Tomorrow may be mine.

Yesterday, today and every other day has been the day not to agree with her for a particular group of people, so today, right now, right here was a good time for Jen to clear the air.

justlori2day — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:15:26 -0000

You, my friend, I heart with all of my heart!

I so want to be able to hold the same convictions - to not want to lash back - but I am not as strong as you. I often times do respond (as you well know), and even more often, bite my tongue to very near its demise because for as much as I want to protect those I love, you, I know, do not need the protection. Your heart is stronger than mine, because you are able to shut out some of the nasty words.

That does not change the fact that every now and then I too will speak my peace - to those who are so perfect in their ways that there are no "loop holes" in their lives, and therefore have the convictions to chastise and judge you.

On a lighter note, I WILL be sponsoring a child very soon - I just need about two more months and I will be able to do it with an open heart and open wallet.

Love ya, miss ya, and hope you enjoy your last days in Kenya! lo

justlori2day — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:01:45 -0000

You DID write that and it totally cracks me!

Almost as much as the "me first" commenters, and all of the "penis" focused comments good or bad. Amazing how "short" our attention spans can get when we hear that word!

Haha!

justlori2day — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:53:58 -0000

You should be sleeping too, but I am glad that you are getting some quiet time to work your inner blogger a little!

Enjoy the time in Kenya! Give that lovely lady a big hug for me! I miss her smiley face! Hoping to catch it when you get back! Lori

Re: Garry Bjorklunnd 1/2 Marathon / Grandma's 1/2 Marathon

justlori2day — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:49:35 -0000

Congrats! I have never been a runner - I have skaters knee's (aka fell/jumped/jumped/fell too many times on them), but I dream of being able to run, I really do. There is something graceful and releasing to watch runners hit their stride.

Good luck with training! Only 10.3 more days until daylight savings time!!!
