I find this odd about myself. Very odd indeed.
When it comes to talking about skid mark underwear, stolen panties and hemorrhoids, I seem to know what to say.
But when it comes to expressing my heartfelt appreciation for awards, I’m stumped. I feel like I never know what to say.
Now, that’s just crazy….skid marks, easy. Appreciation, hard.
I start to think it’s further proof that I truly am only as deep as a marshmallow. You know, lots of fluff and air bubbles. I suppose that could be it but maybe, just maybe, I can be a bit deeper than that. When I read that Beth at Sense & Sensibilities finds my stories of raising Payton an encouragement for her as a parent…..I honestly am taken aback and don’t know what to say. So often I feel like I’m bumbling along, trying to figure out what in the hell I am doing raising a kid like Payton, then to realize my discoveries mean something to someone else? Well, a thank you from me seems very small when compared to how that makes me feel. But it will have to do, I suppose.
So Beth, thank you so very much for awarding me the September Perfect Post award for my post The Creative Mind Phenomenon.
While I’m at it, I also need to thank Andi from Poot & Cubby. A while back, she gave me the Nice Matters Award, and with my terrible manners, I didn’t get around to thanking her for that. It was something about putting the words ‘nice’ & ‘Heather’ together that threw me off. And it came at a time when Dr. Professor Monkey Britches was on the loose making fun of *ahem* certain people. While Dr. Professor Monkey Britches was all about the therapy of embracing Fool Power, I still felt very fake if I accepted a Nice Award at the time. (Psst…even now I feel fake accepting a nice award. ack!)
Thank you Andi! If I don’t think I’m nice, then at least I know you think I am!
And I know Jenny from Absolutely Bananas awarded me with a very special Banana’s award too and gave my blog her awesome stamp of approval. But yet again, bad manners! and I just now am thanking her for that.
Thank you too Jenny! Ya-Ya baby!

Your posts about Payton are so filled with love and extreme determination to advocate for your son that I know that your soul is a deep, deep well.
Funny, tough and loving all at once? What a package!!!
It really is hard to write appreciation for awards, and such. When I realize someone has awarded me something I seriously wonder what they were thinking. I’m grateful that people find me nice and thoughtful and fabulous… but sometimes wonder how they thought of me.
Congrats!
You’re very welcome — it was well-earned IMO!
You always leave me the sweetest comments over at my blog and for that, you are nice. And you are allowed to bitch on your own blog – that doesn’t make you unnice. Hope you enjoy your awards.
Andi’s right, and you totally deserve all of those! Congrats.
