I still get no respect.

For those of you who would like a little laugh.  This is what she posted: 

41 Things Moms Like to do on Facebook

And I don't do any of that.

Except for maybe #10.  And 12, 21, 27....

Please tell me I am not alone.  Please?

All I Want for Christmas is a Cure

BB

Augie and I are almost ready for our half marathon!

We are training together (sometimes!) to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT), and will run in the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend in January 2012.

2012 will mark the tenth year we have been without B.B. Ten long years. A mother and a grandmother lost way too early. Please join us to help fund a cure for all blood cancers, and to provide aid to current patients and their families.

Since its inception in 1988, TNT has trained more than half a million athletes, and raised$1.2 billlion to help find a cure. In addition, 75% of all the money we raise goes directly to the LLS mission of funding research and drug trials as well as helping patients and their families.

Some facts:

• Every 4 minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
• There are currently over 950,000 people living with or in remission from a blood cancer in North America.
• In the last 40 years, leukemia cure rates have gone from 5% to over 90%.
• In the last decade, half of the FDA approved cancer drugs were for blood cancers,many funded by LLS.
• Many of those LLS funded drugs have since been proven viable treatments for other cancers such as breast, colon, and stomach.
• Last year, LLS contributed $20 million in patient aid to help defray costs.

Please consider a donation to our goal of raising $7000 to help find a cure.... Every little bit helps.

Click HERE to donate. And Thank You to my Bloggy friends who have already given so generously.

The one where the Internet went down and my tech was at his father's, the gym, a concert and just about anywhere but here where his mother needed him:

Problem solve, he says.

gah

I may have cried at this point.

So he goes to the gym?

And his mother is still without Internet?

I may have cried again.

And the next day?

When he finally answers his mother's plea for help?

He is on his way to a concert.

It was like a bad dream.

I may have cried again.

Aaaaand. 2 1/2 hours later?

I did it!

He can just go on back to school now.

I've got this.

Gah

Out of Commission over here in MPM Land.

We had quite the storm Wednesday.

Mental P has no Internets.

She is not happy.

But she is reading a lot.

And taking nice walks.

She sends her regards.

She wishes everyone a nice Friday,

and hopes to find someone who can help.

Because Mental P is ludditesque.

And that is so a word.

You cannot refudiate it.
