Giving a Shout-Out to a Mom!

I just came over here from reading a good friend's blog and felt like giving her a shout-out! She has recently been to hellandback and still has a phenomenal sense of humor that makes me fall out of my chair from laughing so hard. She's got spirit and spits fire like Scarlet O'Hara. She really is an inspiration. Not to give away any spoilers, you WILL want to read all of her archived blogs, but the woman has a whacko blood disorder, one kid with cerebral palsy AND a tiny tornado fresh from the phosp with a couple dx - BP NOS - for one, and that's the blog I wanna share for her shout-out ---

I’d Like a Cheeseburger NOS, Please

If you have a few minutes, you have to go back and read:

A Letter to Bipolar from Liza’s Mom

... it WILL give you goosebumps. The good kind. And if you have even more time (while you're munchin' on that bon-bon), and need another good laugh, check out this - but go pee before you start... trust me!

OMG, My husband and I were soooo laughing at the Cheeseburger/Duck Blog.  I'm still laughing, with tears.
