In her honor.
Posted by Lotus, aka Sarcastic Mom in Friends, Love, Making A Difference, Mental/Emotional, Parenting on April 8, 2009
Last night, I saw @mamaspohr’s tweets, and found out that she was at the hospital with Maddie. I visited Heather’s site and sent her my love. I was worried, but I was sure Maddie would be taken care of and would recover.
I was wrong about that. Last night, Heather and Mike Spohr lost their sweet daughter Madeline Alice.
I am choked for words. But I have plenty of tears.
John and I took a moment out of our morning to pray for Heather and Mike. We believe Maddie is with God now, but we understand that this is not going to be an easy time for her parents, family, and friends.
It’s not an easy time. I am heartbroken for this family.
Heather & Mike: we are thinking of you, and sending you all of our love, support, strength, and prayers.
In Madeline’s memory, please support the March of Dimes, which helped the Spohrs during Heather’s pregnancy and Maddie’s hospitalization after premature birth.
You can go here to donate in her memory: Maddie’s March of Dimes Page
UPDATE: If you’d like to do even more, please consider donating to help Heather & Mike with the services at this Paypal account: formaddie@hotmomreviews.com
UPDATE 2: We want to get as many people as possible involved in joining their local March of Dimes walks, coming up, in honor of Maddie. How many of you are willing to walk for Maddie soon? Speak up! We’ll start putting up information on teams that are gathering.
So far there’s this in the Cincinnati area: Sadness in the Blogoshpere
NASHVILLE AREA: If you are in this area, and would like to join our walk team: The Nashville March of Dimes Walk is on April 19th. I’ll be posting more as I get things in order. If it’s at all possible, go ahead and mark your calendars to walk with us.
Once more, for good measure.

Long time readers will
remember the story of
our last, moldy house.
What a trial that was!
We have been in this new home
for a whole year now.
I could never say
thank you enough times to those
who helped us get out.
To all of you who
stepped in to help us move then
and are still around
I want you to know
that I think grateful thoughts of
each of you often.
And now we’ve got a
whole year of new memories
in a better home.
So much has happened
in this year that has now passed.
It’s remarkable.
March 2008………………………………………………………………………………………………………….March 2009
So, once more I say
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all
Thanks so very much.
Definitely Good For The Kids

From time to time, I try to get involved in something that isn’t entirely self-absorbed. It’s really hard, because I’m a lazy, narcissistic douchebag most of the time.
Today, I’m going to step out of my Lotus Burrito (get it? I’m all wrapped up in ME!) for a few moments and talk about a Blogger Challenge designed to help raise money for public schools.
Deep South Moms has accepted the 2008 Donors Choose Bloggers Challenge.
I am fully supporting this, and I’d like to ask you for your support as well. You can see the widget on my left sidebar, and if you’d like to help, you can grab that widget, too. Just click HERE. Placing that widget on your sidebar, and especially posting about it, will help!
Of course, giving a donation to one of the proposals at the DSM Donors Choose Challenge page would be greatly appreciated. There is no donation too small or too big when we’re talking about supporting the education of our children.
stockxpert.com
To motivate you to give, I’m teaming up with Good For The Kids to offer you a prize. You’ll have a chance to win a $40 Gift Certificate to Good For The Kids for helping out HERE with a donation.
Click through HERE, choose a proposal from that page, and make the donation of your choice. Afterwards, come back here and tell me you donated and you’ll be entered into the pool from which the winner will be drawn.
All who make a donation HERE in the next two weeks and comment here that that they have done so will be entered into the pool of possible winners. You have a chance to enter from now until 11:59PM, CST October 15th, 2008.
On October 16th, one entrant will be randomly drawn and will receive the $40 GFTK Gift Certificate.
If your name is drawn as the winner but you did not actually make a donation, we will draw another winner.
So, come on! Help Deep South Moms and me do something Good For The Kids!

Yeah, I know, lists/ugh. I've always been bad at accepting compliments, and this is no different. I was surprised and honored by this - someone thinks I've done a good job. Icky Listness aside, that makes me smile. :-)lotus works
