Because I am really trying to do too many things, I’ve taken on another thing.

It’s been something I have been sitting on for awhile now, and it’s time to throw it out there and see if it will stick.

Remember Blog Frog?  The poor guy that got lost somewhere out there in the world after visiting many homes? It was a Sue and Charlotte creation.
Well, I have new blog frog that I am sending to Sue and Charlotte to start up again.

Why am I not doing it?  Because I am doing something for one of the most important little bloggers. Well,  she doesn’t blog, but her mom does for her. Perhaps you’ve heard of her? Kelly, from Jenelle’s journey.  Jenelle suffers from a rare form of Epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome.

For my birthday a couple years ago, the girls bought me a ‘build a bear’ Hippo. They called it the Hopeopotamus.
I am going to send Hope to Jenelle and her mom is going to get lots of pictures of Hope and their week long adventure and send it on to the next person on the list.  The next person will get to read the information about epilepsy, put a entry in the journal to Jenelle to have when she gets it back in 6 months.  While Hope is with you, we just want you to take pictures, become a bit more aware and send it to the next person.  If you want, you can add to the box (not too big though, it’s going to be traveling) and everything that is added will be a gift for Jenelle.

If you’re interested in having a Hippo in your house for a week, please send me your home address at randomandodd at gmail dot com.
You have to promise a few things:
1. You will write something for Jenelle in her journal
2. You will take the time to read what Kelly adds (or go visit Jenelle’s blog for awhile) and become more aware.
3. You WILL MAIL IT OFF to the next person ONE WEEK LATER and get a ‘tracking’ number.

That’s it.

I’m starting it off this week by sending it with the girls and having them learn more about Jenelle and how she inspires hope like no one I’ve ever known.  Hopefully when the kids at school ask why they have a stuffed animal with them, they can share their hope for Jenelle.

Pictures to follow.

Interested?
