A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 Peanut...

Have you ever tried the 3 different flavors, of Silk Soy Milk?
There's original, vanilla and mine LOVE the chocolate **so do I**

Today Peanut is at SCHOOL...WOO HOOO YIPPEEEE~I~O

Tomorrow they are having their annual trike~a~thon for St. Jude's Hospital. St. Jude's is very helpful in their research for the school so we wanted to help in their fundraiser. I think it will be a hoot to see these kiddos do the trike~a~thon...so, because we don't know a soul here...I sent out an e-mail to our family & friends telling them about the day tomorrow. Peanut almost has $100.00 raised. So, when I called the school to see what all we needed to do for tomorrow...I told her about his packet and how much he has and she bout fell in the floor! Here I was thinking we hadn't done very much...she acted like it was a million dollars! We aren't able to support all of the causes we would like to...but when something hit close to home...like the Cancer Society or this research for the babies...you just never feel like you can do enough! I am debating on whether or not to go tomorrow...I know I can watch from a distance...but because Taylor doesn't transition well...I am afraid if he sees us,it will mess his day up especially after being out of school this week and it being like starting over. I am so proud of my baby Peanut!

I'm so glad you and he are having a better day today!


Don't EVER think you are bothering anyone! We all need a sounding board, and a shoulder to lean on. I, for one, wish I lived closer and could do more.

I love to hear from you, the good and the bad. Life is a journey and sometimes it rains.

Vanessa - that sounds like a great day planned!

Yeah...and he doesn't even know he did it!!!

St. Jude's is great. My MIL's quilt group made 2 quilts for them. I guess the kids that stay there draw the kind of quilt that they would like and then quilt groups actually make those quilts. I got to work on one of them and it was just such a great thing to do.

That's the place I donate alllot to..
I used to be a once a month sender,
*poor now* but everytime I get some $$,
some definately goes to there..
Breaks my heart to watch that hour long show~commercial they do.. so, I send when I can.

St Jude's...Danny Thomas..
"Show me my way, and I will build you a shrine.."

St. Jude's does a lot of research that really help's Peanut's school...and I cannot tell you how impressive this school is! I wish you could all visit it! And everyone of the workers there are ...well, just angels...I don't know of any other way to discribe them.

You know, I keep saying it,
but GOD moves in mysterious circles and ways
we may not understand..

I've donated to that place since 1995...
I won a little bit of money and I promised
GOD I'd send some there..
and it's been a leap of faith sometimes here
and there when I send some now, but it is so
rewarding to send there..

So, maybe I contributed, in the long way around it,
some of the things the school has....
Very heart warming Vanessa!!!
Couldn't think of anything better to do with it.

Why sure you did Weezie! You had been helping prepare a place for the Forum poster child all along...and you didn't even know it!!!!

And...let me add...they have come a LONG way in the treatment and diagnosing Autism! Had this been even 10 years ago...Peanut probably would have either been institutionalized or completey sedated on medication! That just scares the peewaddin out of me!!!

but, vanessa, how did the trikathon go? i'll pray for you that monday goes well...

Well...they had to cancel the event today and are going to have it Monday...Peanut wont get to be there and I hated that.
BUT...AS OF TODAY...he has raised $130.00...more than any other student!!! Go baby GO!!!!
since I didn't know anyone in this town...I didn't know what to do to help him raise some money...so I sent out a mass E-mail (my poor family & friends)and just asked all who wanted to help to just make a donation. My goodness..I sat here and bawled when I started getting responses back. SO...he will get all of the prizes...a pupet, a backpack, a t~shirt & a trike tag! But I will find out Tuesday how the whole thing went!

thus the reason for my sappiness tonight!!!!!!
I bawl at the drop of a pin anymore!

uhhhhhhhhh... I didn't get a letter...

Uh oh...I haven't checked my email in awhile...
...a LONG while! :rolleyes:

I check GH email everyday...but forget about the other one for days at a time.


Now I'm gonna feel like a heel if I check and you sent me that email...and I didn't reply to it! But...there's always the possibility you DIDN'T send me one...then I will wonder why you didn't!

It's a lose/lose situation for me, huh?


Cindy

Uh..Mr. Bill...I didn't think it would be proper to solicit on the forum. I didn't really know what the rules were.

BUT....since YOU asked...

Anyone wanting to donate any amount is welcome (and much appriciated) All you have to do is PM me the amount you would like to donate...so I can turn it in Monday. And then drop a check in the mail to me (made out to St. Jude's Children's Hospital). Easy as pie....Peanut will get the credit for the donation....(he wins little prizes) BUT better than that...the research for his school is continued...which is a blessing to Little Taylor (and me)

Okay, is that legal???????????

Well...now you don't have to feel bad like I do...

I just checked my g-mail...and got it 5 days ago.


Cindy

Uh...how ya doin tonight Mz. HEEL!!!!!

There is a BIG oppertunity here for you to make amends!

You bet!

PMing you now...

I am so sorry Cindy Faye...I just COULDN'T pass that up....you know I'm lovin ya!!!

That's what I say a lot here.....

I wouldn't expect nor WANT you to pass up any oppertunity crazy bird lady!

Hellooooooo! I know I'm a bit late here (what else is new!) but... Is it too late to send in a donation for the little Peanut & St. Jude's? That is such an AWESOME way to help Peanut - and all the other kids & families that get such great help from St. Jude's!

Peanut!
