Ratting Out Mommie

Hi Ho!!  Kiva The Dog here!!  Did you know that my Mommie is nuts??  If you didn't know that, now you do.  If you had suspicions about it, I am here to confirm them.  If you already knew this little tidbit of info, let me just tell you now that, "It's gotten worse!!"  For 3 days and 2 nights Mommie didn't sleep.  She rested a little here and there, but there was zero sleep involved.  And what's crazier than that is I honestly can't remember if she ate during all of those awake hours.  Oh wait!!! ... she made a four egg omelette yesterday afternoon ... after she finally finished the project that she bled, sweat, cried, and spent spoons on for those 3 days.  She ate 3 eggs of it and shared the rest with me ... and then she turned off her phone and slept!!  For 11 hours she got her normally interrupted nights' sleep!!

What has Mommie so motivated??  Duh ... Crazy Sock Day 3!!  It's exactly 2 weeks away!!  Last year Mommie compiled most of the pictures that were posted on Facebook so that she could make a slideshow for the Smiling Warrior and so she'd have something to send out to the schools and media for this year to promote the day and the awareness that needs to be raised.  It took her 50 weeks to get that slideshow finalized and published, but she did it!!  And the Warrior Mama said that it put a smile on the girl's face!!  Considering that she was in the hospital getting an NG tube put in (again), Mommie took that as the greatest compliment ever!!  (The rumor is that the Smiling Warrior is being released today ... perfect timing, Mommie!!)

Mommie warned me that the next 2 weeks will be a lot like the last 3 days ... Crunch Time!!  Time to get everyone that's involve-able, involved.  It's one thing to just take part in the day, it's a completely different thing to garner the needed support to pull the day off with style!!  The Smiling Warrior deserves it, RSDers and GPers deserve it, the Medical Community needs it, and the families need to know that their Warrior is not alone, and neither are they!!

I have faith that Mommie will put every spoon in her arsenal to good use for the CSD3 campaign.  She's not The Crazy Cripple for nuthin'!!  I have faith that she'll rest in February, and I have faith that I will faithfully stay by her side to remind her to eat, sleep, laugh, love, and play ... it's just up to her to recognize my efforts!!  Go run your errands, Mommie, before the bad weather sets in ... and then ... It's nap time!!
