31 for 21: Grateful bits

I don't have alot to tell about today... and I have no great insights or thoughts to share. I have alot to say, but it's not appropriate to say it here, so I'm going to focus on some things I'm grateful for.

Just a few, then I'm headed to bed early... These are at the top of my list right now.

~I love my car. I am thankful for having the means to drive something I love so much. I spent many years driving whatever was available, some of them hand-me-downs, and they served well for their time. But I am so thankful that I finally have something I picked out and still really love to get into every time, even 2 years later.

~My daughter is so darn easy! I often say that for being so high maintenance, she's super easy to deal with. She's always happy, content to play on her own for a long time, and she loves to giggle and smile generously. Nothing better.

~I'm thankful for my husband's job and the health insurance it provides. Braska's total bills are well over $300,000 at this time, and I can't fathom trying to do that without insurance, or even without good coverage.

~Having no real work schedule is a marvelous thing! Granted, I may be called on at any time of the day to do something immediately, fixing a system or providing immediate turnaround for a client, but the flexibility of working from home and not having set required hours is such a blessing. I don't think I could ever go back to a "normal" job again. I hope I never have to try. And who lives in comfy clothes and PJs? That would be me...and Braska.

~I'm grateful for friends who aren't afraid to do the tough stuff. Friendship isn't always about the pretty times, and I am so impressed by those who have stepped up and been true friends, not worried about how it looks or how out of their comfort zone they are. You guys rock! "Good friends are willing to intrude."--TobyMac

~And finally, for now... I love my bed. It is so darn comfy, huge, and just makes everything better after a day of stress.

So I'm off...God grant me quickness to sleep and peace of thought through the night.

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
