Closing the day on a good note

Wow, what a long day.  It began with so much frustration, but we survived.  Thankfully, God lets me yell and complain at Him and He still loves me and waits until I calm down to say, once again, “I’ve got it. You don’t have to worry. I’m in control and it’s all going to be ok. No matter what it looks like right now.” 

I believe that. Even when I let myself get distracted. Thank goodness He is patient.

I also want to say thanks to Sara and Tricia for encouragement today via phone.  Sara called and got more than she probably bargained for. And Tricia answered her phone and might have wished she’d have let the machine get it.  Though I’m not much of a phone person generally, it was nice to talk to you guys and learn from your similar experiences. My apologies for all the blah blah blah you had to endure!

Braska and M are at Children’s snoozing away right now.  I took them down and stayed through the prep process.  (There are pics on Braska’s blog if you are so inclined.) I’m heading back there at about 6:00 am.  It went very well, and I was very pleased that she wasn’t nearly as congested and snotty once we were there.  Makes me think again that there’s something in or with the house.  But M thinks I’m just paranoid or on a mission to get rid of this carpet.  And maybe that’s true…but the pattern is sure enough to make me wonder.

I still don’t know what to think about the spot on her tongue except it doesn’t seem to bother her, so I’ll not worry about it.  Thrush just might fit, as so many of you have mentioned.  (Hi to Melissa and Aunt Chris and Uncle Don too! Thanks for the tip!)  I really hope they see what they need to during the study.  The tech was SO wonderful, really nice and so accommodating.  And she was talking geek and Trek with M when I left.  Oh dear.

So tonight I go to bed. Things are ok.  I will survive.  I wish I didn’t get in those super overwhelmed and frustrated valleys, but I’m human and I suppose I’ve still got alot of growing to do.  Thanks for being a sounding board, friends and strangers.  Good 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!!
