Shirts for Limbs

I may have posted this before, but I can't remember. Shirts for Limbs is a site that was set up to help raise money to by Tarver a prosthetic leg.

Limbs are expensive and insurance companies are allowed to cap the amount that they will pay towards prosthetics. We are attempting to raise $40,000 to purchase a leg. Because prosthetic companies do not finance the cost for limbs they require the amputee to pay up front by whatever means necessary. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I am not expecting anyone to give a large sum of money. What I am doing is sending out a shirt as a thank you for any donation of $25 or more that says "This Shirt Bought Tarver A Leg." We're in the process of setting up a non-profit organization to help other amputees buy their prosthetics after I've raised enough to buy my own (we're told the process can take up to a year.)


I'd encourage you to go to the site and read more about his story.

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn
