Thank You

Thank you so much for all your kind words and concern.  It means a lot to us.  We've lost two gorgeous, wonderful friends in a little over one year.  The sense of loss weighs heavily upon our hearts.

How are we doing?  Okay.  I guess as okay as we can be.  Molly still looks for Maggie to follow us in the door when we return home.  She's a bit sluggish and sad, but she finally ate a proper meal last night for the first time since Maggie got sick.

The boy and I try to busy ourselves in between bouts of sadness.  My body's natural response to sadness is to shut itself down and sleep.  I'm so drained, emotionally and in turn physically, but when I lay down at night sleep doesn't come easily.

I guess we'll just take it one day at a time.

Ok, now it’s getting a little weird

I just spent $200+ on a stroller and car seat "travel system."

My sister is talking to me about her lamaze classes.

I now know what an ultrasaucer is (thanks Amber!).

I'm still just holding on the hope that this child was immaculately conceived.  Shudder.

It’s Official

... realize that we're not on vacation anymore and should cook a meal
... shop for groceries since all we have is beer and salad dressing in the fridge
... not cry when we can't fast forward the TiFaux since the dog ate the remote
... talk about something other than vacations or LOST today (I mean seriously, how freaking good was last night's ending?!)

Dear NCAA People of Importance:

Thank you for turning the boy's brain not into jello, but a font of statistical information (that means very little to me but does not deter him from excitedly sharing it).

Thanks for having 64 games in three weeks.  I've been able to schedule hair, nail, outings and other events without conflict.

Thank you for always making sure "whatever you want, babe, is fine."  Why yes, indeed it is!

Thank you for helping me do better at catching up with my shows to clear out more space on the TiVo.

Thank you allowing me yet another hearty laugh everytime I hear "Fucking Melchionni - I hate that guy" from the living room.

And last, but certainly not least, thank you for making nachos an acceptable addition to the main food groups this month.

Go Carolina,

L
