Slow Sunday

Things seem to be getting a bit easier for us to cope with over at 123 st. Think that's b/c of a number of reasons:

1. The constant onslaught of #2 is has eased quite a bit
2. My sissy and I are getting better and better at changing my mom
3. She's spent most of the weekend in bed, sleeping.

We're not sure if #3 above is good or bad. Maybe its good b/c her body is really tired and is rejuvenating itself....or maybe its bad as she's not engaging with anyone. Hard to know.

My next project here is to bring some order to the chaos that is their backyard. I really think my dad has some hoarding tendancies. There's lots of junk to slowly get rid of. My goal is to get a BBQ going back there. It would be good to have also, in case of a hurricane. So, in the next few months I'm hoping to set it up with a gas line hookup for a BBQ and also a gas powered generator, and also make sure the upstairs windows can be secured with either the current awnings or new storm shutters. If a hurricane comes, we'll be spending it here, so we have to be prepared. Season starts again in a few months.

T has thoroughly enjoyed her bday. I got her a Nintendo DS Lite with a few games. Outrageously expensive toy for a 5 yr old, but its kept her busy the whole weekend, so its worth its weight in gold, as far as I'm concerned. T has also enjoyed the tetherball set. Mom loves it b/c there's no ball to chase...its tied up to the pole. Perfect little game.

So we're waiting now for the aid to come, to release us to go to t's birthday party at marie's house. she has been asking every 15 - 20 minutes if its time to leave yet.

It all sounds good. Enjoy the party. xox

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
