SkyPe - in' With Supah: Night Light Stories and A.T.TIPSCAST

DOUBLE FEATURE!

Sometimes the greatness that is SupahMommy... let's you in. Let's you get a little bit closer to her cold, dead soul ... and offers you the opportunity to meet some IRL friends of hers to shake off the chill reek upon you all. :)

THis week's skype is Funny AND SMART! Like .. like.. B.O.G.O. Buy one , get one FREE. CUZ I'm all in the HOliday mode. I just don't know it yet. IT FEATURES two bloggers in one. So it's a little longer. I had to cut it into pieces like Hannibal Lechter. Just figure that with 2 people there are now 4 questions to be answered. * there's some funny shit in it and you'll have to watch close because I am TRYIN LIKE THE DICKENS to not swear because they are representing a children's blog. LOL!

I was sweatin bullets. You'll see my wipin my nose a million times. It gets itchy when I'm feeling famous.




Meet Miss Mel and Mr. Mel. Just kidding. This is Miss Mel of NightLightStories.blogspot.com and Chris .


I love them because we all worked together in the schools during our former lives and have joined back up again via the internet to celebrate the new lives we all have formed.


They met at the school we all worked in, they married and now they have 2 little ones!


They are IRL Friends who have taken their talents to a whole nother playing field while I had my back turned for about 10 years.

So Mel and Chris created a blog called Night Light Stories. But the blog is not the big deal. The blog only hosts the heart of their talents, " original writings for children. "

But they say it way better than me...

The big deal:
* Night Light Stories is a podcast featuring original children's stories. These stories were all originally told by the friendly glow of a child's night light. We invite you now to share these stories with your own children, at night, in the morning, or anytime ... anywhere. You can download and listen to the stories from the links on the blog or download it free at iTunes!

I watched them launch this idea and I have watched them grow into something really unique and special! If you have a kiddo... this is a GREAT way to offer stories.. hands free and on the go! Sweet characters and child friendly situations. I love it all! It's educational, age appropriate, interactive and offers lots of great challenges and ideas via their blog.
( * mrs. teacher supah says AWWW YAH)




Chris- the other half of the "wonder duo" has also blown me away with his uber SMARTNESS yet total down to Earth-ed ness.


He's used his extensive educational resume and technological background to create Assistive Technology Tips in the form of PODCASTS for parents .. educators and students.

* The A.T.TIPSCAST- Assistive Technology: Tools In Public Schools is an award-winning podcast where each episode describes at least one strategy that can be used to assist students in school. Averaging between 8 to 12 minutes in length, each episode provides a quick and entertaining way for adding using technology to help parents and teachers assist students in school.


POD CASTS = ( mini webinars if you will ) that broadcasts tips for using technology to help students meet educational goals! IT's AWESOME and has incredible ideas that I myself have searched for during my time as a parent.


Check him out! I bet you'll find at least one thing: that your kiddo can benefit from right now if you search the archives like I did!


Join the A.T.TIPPERS group on Facebook and/or Classroom 2.0 ! You can also follow me on twitter.com as @attipscast.


And last: our skype. We haven't seen each other in 10 years or so. So you are subjected to a bit more : extra stuff. You. ARE. WElcome. IF you listen hard.. you'll hear me slip up DbD's name. You'll hear Mel give me up as well. :) YOu'll hear Chris make a funny too. That I didn't have time to edit!


xoxxo to MIss Mel and Chris. Totally fun! Best wishes with your ventures. Feel free to include me.. ahem.. next great idear. Go check them out peeps.

FROM OUR HOMES TO YOURS- HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Jaden's Jingle Bell Bonanza begins TOMORROW NOV 26TH. Come out and support this family by shopping on Ebay for some GREat DEALS. PLEASE spread the word - beginning tomorrow on your blogs and lasting until Dec 6th. You're the best!

All about MEme Monday: Great- Full Ness

with MommyBrain and SupahMommy

It's that time of year.

Time for the official kick-off of the holiday season. Hollah!

Time to eat some turkey and pumpkin pie.

Time to travel near and far to be with family.

Time to enjoy the pandemonium and traditions.

Time to think about ... and answer this question ...

an idea inspired by a kid's project

Ugh! The obvious misspelling is making me cringe,

( that would be MommyBrain.. NOT ME.. I sir.. can love a misspelling like the dickens)

but it's meant to be punny, people; go with it ;)

We figure you've probably got enough going on this week.

You did realize that Thanksgiving is in just 5 days, right?

And so ... it's really that simple ... take a few minutes to think about the blessings in your life ... the things that you are thankful for, especially this year.

And then tell us your TOP FOUR.

---------------------------------------

You know how this works, right?!

Write your post. COme back here. Link up. Put our button on your blog post somewhere if you can.

Supah Dupah's

Thanksgiving

GrEAT- FULL - NESS.

I am "great- full" for THE THOUGHT, THE MERE THOUGHT OF being stuffed FULL on Thanksgiving upcoming.

I already have my Turkey Day comfy pants picked out.

WHO SAID YOGA PANTS??

I have to be Thankful on Thanksgiving.. but I don't have to be nice. I'm coming through this computer if you yell out my name and yoga pants synonymously again. DESERV-ED or not.

U 2 MommyBrain.

I am Great- FUll for my little munchkins. I try my best. I suck most days but I heart them so much.

They , themselves, should be Great-Full I didn't actually lose my mind this past weekend Mini-Vackay. Some might beg to differ... that I didn't actually loose my mind. But I gagged those people and shoved them in my closet to work out their "differ'ing OPINIONS.

I am Great and FUll for my family extended. Cuz's, Aunt's , Uncles.. followers , tweepers. Yep. You made it onto mah thankfulgreatfull LIST.

Die in peace now.

I am GreatFUll that Jaden - IS FIGHTING.

Pray for my buddy. While we eat Turkey Gobbles.. he's goinna be sick.

Let's pray he can puke and eat like a champ cuz he loves him some mashy taters.

I am Great-Full for my Dbd.

Shut up.

Wait for it.

I am great-full that he stalks my facebook page now that I've remarried him on facebook.

( I divorced him once facebook style cuz he pissed me off)

When I pretty much headbutted him a " morning goodbye" yesterday, he said. " ohh but if i were Rob Thomas ( of matchbox 20 .. who TWEEPED ME) I bet I'd get a kiss and not a headbutt.

Holy Fucking Go AWAy. Let me stalk celebrities in peace DbD. IN PEACE.

Sometimes I should just go with my gut.

Now where's judge judy's directions about how to facebook divorce again?

xoxoxoox

Happy week to you all. I'll do post it Tuesday , SKYPE Wednesday and then it's ALL ABOUT JADEN'S AUCTION. Come out and spend your dollars on my little buddy and get a great deal!

Princess and I were just talking about our love , her love of Ice Cream. Imagine if we all had this at our disposal daily. We'd be SCREWED! I'm visiting my sis down in VA this weekend and I'm feelin a stop at Friendly's en route. Friendly's also kindly donated 3 ten dollar gift cards to JADEN'S JIngle Bell Auction. So I'll plug them up. Wait.  That's not right.   I'll plug them.  Ahem.

I wonder if ice cream will help my teething 7 month old.  Maybe it'll help me.  Cuz I"m going nuts.  Maybe if I drown myself in it.

 Now you can begin hating me for posting such YUMMyness.  

Let's talk some VAMPIRES- Twilicious Photo COntest

I'm sloppy seconding you all today.  I'm revisitin my Twilight Roots in honor of the upcoming Premiere that sadly, * tears  i will not be at.

LOL-  HOW BIG of an IDIOT am i?
Wait.  Do not answer that.

  You IN?  You Twilicious?


_______________________________________________________

Let me tell you what peoples. I've been obsessed to some degree with many things in my life... but this one.. is pretty high up there. I've just finished the first installment of the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer.

She first caught my eye on Ellen because
1. She was a writer. My ... someday dream.
2. She was stay at home mom slave to da man.. just like me.
"Huh... " says supah.

So I was totally interested in her books, yet had NO IDEA a motion picture was being made.. nor that it was a cult series, especially with the teenage crowds.

I pretty much consider myself a teenager these days. Even knocked up... so it fit the bill.

I really didn't do anything about my peaked interest ... UNTIL I read my bloggy land friends blog... about how the series had KIDNAPPED her and forced her to not do laundry.. etc. etc.

Well ... now.. people. That sounds like my kind of book.
I was all over it.


I bought the book on Tuesday
Read 20 pages due to time constraints and Thanksgiving. Was thoroughly intrigued by the story alone and the character of "Edward." Oh heavenly father... let me love a vampire says supah.

Greeted my sister's arrival Tuesday night. " Nenny"

This is where Twilight trouble began.

She saw it laying on my counter.

"Oh... you're reading Twilight ???" says she who soon will stalk me for my book.

I SHAKE off the slight feeling that she is perhaps planning to overtake my novel and read all about my Edward before I am able to find out more.

Never says I.

I plan to read and take a bath late that night. Beg DbD to bring it in from the COLD AND LONELY van... he sets it (Twilight) downstairs in the in law suite. Guess whose staying there during her stay for Thanksgiving?

Evil Nenny.

While it sits down there waiting for my eyes to read it and breathe in it's greatness, she grabs it.

I forget about it because I am cooresponding with advertisers for my mommy board. I go to bed.

Awake in the morning to the following question from Evil Nenny.

"What page did you read to? " * snark voice

Gasp. That evil bitch read my book last night and is SO TOTALLY FARTHER THAN ME.

I will have none of it.
I retrieve the book from her clutches and BEGIN TO READ NON STOP. Hoarding the book like a Lord of the Rings character gone all wrong. Huddled on my couch in the corner. Protecting it. SOAKING UP each and every lovely lyrical description of my Edward and his love Bella. Reeling as each new facet of this torturous story is unfolded. Oh how I want to be a Vampire's love.


I had visions of her sneaking into my bedroom at night... a commando crawl if you will...waiting for that moment when sleep overtakes someone reading themselves to sleep. She would be there.. ready. Ready for the drop. Hands out held... ready to catch Twilight.

I will lock my door I say to myself.

She sits down on the love seat and begins her effort to look pitiful. Reminding me subtly that it is "Thanksgiving."

ONLY for my sister do I do such things as what I did next. I understood her to intense obsession with this book.. even only a few chapters in and I was feeling triumphant that I had indeed surpassed her stopping point in the novel. I was again ahead and in charge. Not to be left in the dust... the last to know.

So I did what any person who doesn't care about books.. nor the money she spent on it would do.


I ripped my book.

I gave her the portion I had read thus far. And thus.. our obsession began as a team. Her on the love seat. Me on the couch. ONly stopping regrettably to peel potatoes for Thanksgiving or to peel another portion of the book away for her.

"Who eats potatoes ANYWAYS ???.." we saltily asked. Counting the minutes until we were reunited with our story.

We continued this way. Through the night. Up until 12 or 1 am... I was ready to head off to bed. She had just finished her last " pitifully ripped book" installment. And looked longingly my way.

I said. NO WAY. I am not letting you read past page 355. NO. So I ripped off the previous sections and then GREEDILY RAN UP TO MY BEDROOM AND HID IT IN A LAUNDRY BASKET. I kid you not.


The next morning ( today) she and I finished the story. Me first of course. She read in the car on the way to the theatre... that's how good it was.

Finished the story only to be left ready to pounce on the next story in the series. New Moon.

I had to work tonight and because of my rippage and generosity.. she was left in charge of SECURING the next book NO MATTER WHAT NOR HOW.

She went to Target. Rounded the book corner.. and heard this..  from some snarky sue

" OHHHH... they HAVE IT.. NEW MOON...but it's a hardback and it's the ONLY ONE LEFT." said competition woman with the book in her hand.

Do you need to really ask what happened next?

Nenny took her  ass down. Tackled her to the floor.
Ran to the register.
Threw down some money and drove home at the speed of light.


We have the book.
Nuff said.

The favor is returned.
Anyone else read it?

Now I"m ready to see the movie.

Sundays With Jaden: THe ONe WHere I Post GOOD PICS. :)

* monday meme is right below this one

Sundays With Jaden: weekly update

I'll do this every Sunday for the gazillions  of you following his story: so keep coming back.

 

<a href="http://supahmommy.blogspot.com/2009/08/help-my-friend-please-help.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s27/dperry_2007/jadenface-1413468-1-1.jpg" /></a>

Also: don't forget to grab Jaden's button, post it on your blog and share this Punkin Heads story. Cause you are awesome. possum. 

For those of you unaware of this tough little man, you will first need to read his story here. ( click those words) I must preface your journey to reading that story with two reminders;

GRAB A KLEENEX.

I know this family personally.  






I attended a fundraiser yesterday evening. The Biggest Baddest Jaden Fundraiser around the Pittsburgh Area.

And I took you all with me. I thought of all of you , who read so faithfully. Who sit down in your jammies and slippers on Sundays and click my page to check on his status.


I took you with me tonight.


And this is what we did together.

WE GOT dressed up real nice. We left the yoga pants and the Team Cullen T-Shirt at home.

We walked into a room decked out in blue and white for Jaden. Filled to the brim with faces looking to ' do something for this family.'

We choked back tears.






We saw Jaden from afar and held our breath. We gave ourselves a pep talk about
" keeping our *stuff* together"


We grabbed a beer. One of many we would have together.






We finally hugged Julie. Jaden's "Mummy" 


It was such a great moment!

We told her to shutup when she thanked us for helping.
Or something like that.


We told her that YES, indeed we would help her write a book.




We screamed "ahhhhh" when we finally met Grammie.

We accepted her kindness and thoughtfulness as she handed over A fundraising Tshirt and a bracelet for us.




We made plans in our head to wear it tomorrow while we sat on the couch and typed this.

We finally got to meet our champ.

We felt the palm of Jaden's soft, soft hand while we took this pic.


Isn't he sweet? He's sweeter in person.










We saw college friends that came out with their entire families to support our Julie.

We marveled at our "new grownup" lives.
We freaked them out telling them that they would be up on the blog today.


WE enjoyed freaking them out a little.


Just kidding S and T!

We met strangers turned friends whose hearts are golden.

Evonne and her daughter from All You Need Is Love.
We bought Evonne a drink and boogied down with her darling daughter.

We took pictures of all the family and friends who were running the shin dig! We told them that they were going to be famous. We muttered something about a blog when they asked if I was from Oprah and made a fast exit.

We eyed up every single one of the auction baskets up for raffle.  

We plopped down beaucoups of green in ho
pes that WE WOULD WIN ONE. You know how competitive I am. There was some AWESOME INCREDIBLE STUFF. We bowed our heads and prayed for Jaden and then we prayed we'd win one so that we could do a happy dance.


We met Jaden's "daddy"
and attempted to get Uncle Bill to take a pic of us- let's just say Uncle Bill is not the photog- extraordinaire.
silver button- push


We enlisted neighbor friend to help and dismissed Uncle Bill from his post. She did a good job. ;)

We met "Pappy" Jaden's grandfather.
We marveled at how sweet he was when he called me SUPER mommy. We got a bear hug from him.




We fielded SupahMommy compliments.
Met some fans.


Or I like to call them that.


I think they were just Julie's Supah friends and Supah Cousin S!

Same difference.




ONe person DID stop me in the bathroom. ( only me) She asked me if I was SupahMommy.
I said yes and signed some toilet paper for her.




Just kidding.

We enjoyed some food and beer. Me, more beer than food. DbD more cookies than food.

I was far worse off.

We said our goodbyes to a sleeping sweety and gave our love to the family.

We ALSO did a HAPPY DANCE!

From the Duttine's and from me. Thank you for reading his story. Thank you for helping.


Jaden Begins Round 5 tomorrow.
Pray for him.
Pray for Julie and Joe.
Pray for their family.


xoxoxo

THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 3....2....... RUN!

_________________________________________________________

So the garage door Mission Impossible opener story:

* swearing involved

* f bombs abound

* rate R for - f bomb lovahs.

 * rated LONG BUT funny... coffee down please.

Garage doors and I just don't get along. Our first house had a nice simple garage door. Until my husband ran head first into it with the car. I yelled at him. Then I promptly backed into it to give my 'you're such an effin idiot lecture' some oomph.

This led to an entire debacle in which Dbd and his penny pinchin O ring ass decided that HE could INSTALL a brand new 3 ton ( guessing) garage door.

Um.  He could NOt.

It was like a guillatine when it was "installed."

I would SCREAM like some nut ass  if one of the kids got within 6 feet of it.

So anways. Me and Garage doors. Not so much on friendly terms.

-

I was offered the use of my friend's rug doctor that she rented.

I jump at the chance as

Violator of all that is nice number 1-  Fat Dog

and violator of all that is valuable and fairly nice plus some undies.. number 2-  Crack Dog ( who now lives with another nice family)

(BOTH criminals )

had left evidence of heinous crimes in my dining room. UGHHH

Why the formal room guys?? HUh?? You feeling "classy?" Good to know I have high end SHITTER AND PISSERS.

So anyways: I head up there to grab it while she's not home. SHE GIVES ME A NUMBER CODE for a garage door ( yikes) one that has some sort of touch pad special super duper open sesame code word. OH MY LORD.

I am having flashbacks to when we were in transition from apartment to apartment. Stuff in storage.

DbD's work van ( beater.. kidnap looking van ) all stuffed to the gills with the good stuff ( tv's, vcr's, etc) THAT we deemed WAY TOO VALUABLE to leave in a storage unit.  ( SMURT COOKIES WE IS)

So we LEFT IT IN THE VAN and cars for SEVERAL DAYS. On the cul-de-sac of the house we will be staying at. We are THINKERS.

So we get to the house . Late at night cause of all the storage unit stuffing. The friends who have offered their home as shelter for a few days are out at a wedding. Shelter of the kick ass , oh so friggin nice YEE HAW FOR US kind.

We're talking major houseage here.

They have kindly left the back door open though.

So let's review.

1. Electronic stuff in kidnap looking van.

2. It is night time.

3. Homeowners are not home.

4. We must go around the back of the house to enter.

5. OH yes. Almost FORGOT.  County Sheriff LIVES NEXT DOOR.

So. I'll leave the rest of the story up to your imagination. :)

Fun times.

So I"m having flashbacks of our first attemped robbery of a house. Hoping I do nothing wrong whilst INNOCENTLY attempting to secure a rug doctor free of charge.

THE GARAGE IS A DOUBLE DOOR GARAGE.

I get the ONE SIDE open. YAHH FOR ME. "OPEN SESAAAAAAAAAAME." yells SUPAH.

neener noooo.. neeener nooo...

I go and locate Mr. Doctor.

TRY TO Locate cleaning fluid,  BUT it's not where it's supposed to be.  Find it finally and put it in left hand.  Grab rug doctor with right hand and some of left hand.

Begin the descent down the stairs, BACKWARDS with massive rug doctor machine that is not handler friendly.

Realize cap on bottle of detergent: is not on.

HOw I know this?

3.4 cups spill completely out onto their wall.

NICE. That's 45 friggin peepoopie stains I could've attacked.

 NOW IM LIMITED and.. maiming my friends house.

So I back up the bus.. all the way back up the stairs with this killah big machine.

Clean it all up with a dish towel.

Put dish towel down on counter.

*supah takes a moment 2 think

Fret about possibliity of friend using dishtowel to wiper her daughters face. Make mental note to tell her about possible chemical face burn PRIME opportunity should she use that rag.

Begin to descend again.

 I'm totally flustered. Kids are in running car. ???! Buckled.  But I'm a freaky paranoid.  I never expected it to take so long.  * feathers ruffled

 Get it down the stairs finally.  HUFFING AND PUFFIN LIKE SOME wolf.    Flustered.  Roll the fucker out onto the driveway.   Turn around and look at the garage door.

*  supah stares

* supah blinks

Um.

Directions for closing? Not included.

Supah's ability to get out of sticky situations while flustered. 1/100 chance.

So.

I first attempt to PUNCH IN THE CODE while standing outside and PUNCHING CODE ON PAD.

I begin to hear the GRUMBLE of the garage door.

YES!!!!!! SCORE. I AM SOOO GOOD. Stupid dance on the driveway.

* STOPS

*STARES

* BLINKS

*NOTICES:   OTHER SIDE OF garage door is going up.

Already open  SIDE of garage door. Not budging.

Okkkkkaaaaay  then.

Refuse to play with codes again. Fearing it's an alarm system of some sort..

* supah thinks

* supah thinks HURD.

*Looks around garage.

 Notice two light plate switch looking thingis. Yes?? Maybe??

* Goes in garage.

I push one. door #1 closes.

YES!

Turn around to look at switches.

Now which one did I just push???

Short term memory supah here.

Shoot.

so I just Push one.

door  #1 goes up.

OK.

Pick opposite switch.

Door 2 goes down.

* THINKS TO SELF

OMG I look like such a FRIGGIN IDIOT.

* BIG NEIGHBORHOOD.. MILLIONS OF SUBURBIA HOUSES - all watching .. I'm certain.

UGH.. Almost done.

Push other switch and RUN LIKE THE WIND UNDER IT so that I don't get CA- RUSHED.  Fears and anxiety.

Guess what?  As I run like the wind under it.

It goes back up.

Mother fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkker.

I will die a hundred deaths if anyone is watching me.

I go back in.

and because I'm stupid.

I push it again.

and . ....

RUN LIKE THE WIND *AGAIN *UNDER IT.

Door goes back up.

* WHAT THE shiggity FlUCK thinks supah!!???

*Looks down.

*Notices sensor  type object.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Now what smarty?

I HAVE TO CLOSE THIS DOOR.

So I eye up this sensor thingi.

Ok then.

BRING IT ON YOU STUPID FUCKER.

It's limbo time boys and girls. Except its waaaaaaaay too low to limbo.

oK. So it's MISSION IMPOSSIBLE TIME.

dun dun dun dun dun dun .. dun dun dun.. dun dun dun.

neener noooo.. neeener nooo...

I THINK IT ALL OUT.

* supah thinks

I decide my timing cause I'm a math whiz .

I push the button after a few seconds of nervous cleansing breath.

PUUUUUUUUSH

door begins to come down

RUUN

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAp like a leprechaun!

and door goes up.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHY DO YOU TEST ME GOD?????????????

Determined and now tooooooootally pissed off. SWEATING. EMBARASSED TO BE ME.

I push that fucker. No hesitation. EYE OF THE TIGER

Door begins descent.

FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW!!

I LEAP LIKE THESE 28 INCHERS HAVE NEVER LEAPT BEFORE.. I am channeling JACKIE JOYNER KERSEE. I am a hurdler of all things laser and sensorish.

I am "Jack be Nimble" in the flesh.

i LEAP! i LAND! i TURN BACK! the door is CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSING. :) 

OPENING.

* supah falls on the ground and begins crying for 4 seconds

 * gathers herself  .. pulls crumpled heap o self up.

* has stroke of genious.

* goes in

Closes both doors.

Walks up basement steps.

Through kitchen.

Into Hallway.

OUt front door.

Down steps.

Gives garage doors the bird.

Gets into van.

* supah mutters "I  win. SUCK-A. "

 Puts the car into reverse.   Begins to exit hell house.

 Pats her oh so succesfully pathetic mission impossible self on the back.

Rides down to her house with a van full of kids who were enjoying the garage door show.

Gets to house.

Unloads 3 kids.

* realizes she does NOT have rug doctor

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

neener noooo.. neeener nooo...
