Bright Spots in the Rain

Let's see.....what do I have left to do today?

Brush teeth

Brush hair

Go to work

Work

Go to nursing home

Get Mom and go to meeting at nursing home

See how Mom's feet are after she ripped two toe nails off running into something in her wheelchair

Come home

I went to see her after work last night and she seemed really down.  Later she called me in a bit of a panic crying and telling me she'd never get out of there.

I hate this.

And I have to take off early from work yet again to go to the nursing home meeting....but my mother will be with us this time and I think it will be good for her to know some of the faces.....

Wow.....just listen to me whine.  O.k.....bright spots.  I got 'em....don't worry....I got 'em.....

• Leo woke me up this morning with a beautiful kiss and a sweet, wry smile when I asked him if we could both stay home today.  Then he chatted about the tests he had today and told me he loved me.

• Owen has taken possession of a pad of post-its and has begun to use them to sort of narrate his life.  They pop up anywhere.....

 

 

• He also is really enjoying the fake mustache that our friend Mary gave us.....

 

Oh, and one last thing.........I fear my heart will break when I stop getting letters for Santa.....
