Oh Em Gee, y'all...Alicia (aka Dr. Mom) over at Welcome To My Planet and Autism Sucks (I wrote a piece there once...I have had many Autism Sucks posts rattling around in my brain...serious major suckage sucky sucker posts but then Evan will say something like he is the Third Coming of Jesus and I can't stop laughing and then I think maybe it doesn't suck all that hard...and yes, I said Third Coming...you see, his theory is nobody believed Him/him when he came around the second time so third times a charm)
And a tangent I just went.
Anyhoo...Alicia gave me this award. And this is what she said about my blog...
"The House That Osh Built : This blog is one of the BEST blogs ever. It's like stumbling upon a little gem when you least expect it. "Osh" and her son/sidekick "Streetwiser" are beyond hilarious. Quirky, funny, smart, and sensitive, The House That Osh Built is written in a totally fresh, wholly different style than the "typical" blog. Snippets, bits of conversation, disjointed thoughts, and pieces of funny stories provide a uniquely humorous and inspiring blog. It's brilliant! Oh, and it's got Johnny Depp in it too (*sigh*) which is just the icing on an already terrific cake. The best part is the banter between mother and son. You just can't MAKE these priceless conversations up!! You GOT to check her out!"
How cool is that? So cool it totally made me cry! I know, everything makes me cry these days, but this was really worth the Kleenex. What you see here here is pretty much what you get...I'm not political by any means (unless it involves a candidates choice of attire) I'm hardly out in the trenches of advocacy for all...(I should do more...I should, but some days I can barely find the energy or desire to wash my face...there are so many parents out there that awe and frankly frighten me with how much they can do)
I somehow was blessed with an amazing child that has made my life into something I never dreamed of when I was planning my future 20 years ago. It has been a long journey this motherhood road, filled with tears and laughter, joy and sorrow, despair and celebration. And somehow I like to believe that I am a better person because of it.
Thank you Alicia for recognizing us...so kind of you!
Now here are the rules for this...and this is the hard part!
To Those Who Are Nominated: Here are the "rules" of the award:
* You must thank the person who has given you this award
* Copy the logo onto your blog (in post or sidebar)
* Link to the person who nominated you for the award
* Name 7 things about yourself people may find interesting
* Nominate 7 other Kreativ bloggers
* Post links to the 7 blogs you nominated

Ugh, 7 interesting things about me? Oh boy...
1. I am freakishly double jointed in my arms. Seriously. Someday I will post a video of a trick I can do that will repulse and fascinate you at the same time. You will show your friends and I will be the next internet sensation...bigger than the dancing baby.
2. I can't stand "still" air...I must have the fan going in my room, even in the winter.
3. I failed a sign language class. I'm 98% deaf in both ears.
4. I am very nostalgic about parts of my childhood to the point where I get homesick for places that don't even exist anymore.
5. I drove to the top of Pikes Peak. In a thunderstorm. I took my hands off the steering wheel just to be able to say " I drove to the top of Pikes Peak in a thunderstorm and took my hands off of the steering wheel"
6. I keep a medal of The Virgin Mary around my rear view mirror...my son bought it for me at a garage sale. It is one of my favorite gifts from him.
7. I spent a lot of time in the hall in school because I talked too much. The last time I was sent out I was a junior in high-school, the teacher was so mad , he threw my desk out with me. I walked right out of school and went to the mall. This was a catholic school too...they were allowed to throw things at students.
Okay...and I am a party pooper because I hate having to pick blogs for awards...I love all the blogs I read...all for very different reasons...
So, if you are a reader of my blog and your blog is on my sidebar, YOU JUST WON THIS AWARD! YAY FOR YOU!
