Random Thoughts

Should be posting more often, but too tired and headachy this week to do much. Brief updates:

Little Bit has moved to a big girl bed and we dismantled her crib...kind of sad since she's our last baby, but we're proud, too. Took her to choose her own comforter this morning; of course, she chose Hello Kitty to be like her Big Sister. Potty training is going okay, still having one or two accidents a day but progessing slowly if we can get her to get to the bathroom while she's occupied playing. My other, five year old "baby" will be starting her first day of kindergarten at the end of this month. I get a little weepy every time I think about it, even though I'm very cheerful and positive to her. Have already warned DH that he will need to take a couple of hours off that morning to console me. Very depressing this last weekend when we saw friends whose little boy is waiting for a heart transplant, we're hoping good news soon. The parents are prime examples of grace and strength and are being so strong in the face of what has to be the most difficult challenge of their lives. Other set of mutual friends are dealing with their own challenges of rearing a little girl with autism. They, too, are models of what great parents should be. Some not-so-great news from Louisiana: DH's grandfather's dementia is getting worse and he's becoming belligerent and angry to his wife (DH's grandmother) and taking off on his 4-wheeler even though he's not really capable of driving it. Grandmother has given up and says he's too strong for her and she''ll just call the paramedics if he wrecks it, at least no one else will be affected (at least she hopes). A little worried for her well-being and sad about what is happening to him. What else? Hubby still working insane amount of hours, but we're happy to have the money since nothing is panning out for me and nothing on the horizon for him either.

Maybe I can be more positive later.
