oh the life....

Sadie put on quite a show for our new Service Facilitator this past week.  Her 30day visit was, well,  very interesting.  Unknowing and not having the time to read Sadie's "file," I allowed Sadie to give P a full introduction to her on her own...right down to poking her nipples, throwing ice, giggling while pulling her glasses off.  Sadie was joyous and giggly, happy as always, and did everything to show her that she needs a 1:1 attendant.  Her dad even looked at me at the beginning of the visit to ask if he should step in, ""no way," she needs to document everything Sadie's doing.

P said, "Anything new in the past month?"  Well, I said, yes as a matter of fact, Sadie fell backwards 4 steps off our deck, a few weeks before that she had a sprained ankle, was x-rayed 2 times, and wore a cast for 2 weeks.  We have no clue why she hurt her ankle (she doesn't talk).  She also had the flu for about 7-8 days. And had 2 poopy diapers today...

Oh and happy birthday Sadie with Strep throat today.

Yesterday, I had 3 appointments to interview people and none showed up.  Luckily, 2 actually called to say they couldn't make it (hours before the appointment).

Enough of the complaining, I'm not supposed to do that right? Wonderful husband who allows me to stay home with my girls,and all the while, I'm probably misunderstood because very few people live the life I lead.

On the positive note, Sadie truly is so happy and snuggly, sweet and true in the most raw nature (4 poopy diapers yesterday aside), she is amazing and has taught me patience, love, understanding, and had broadened my world thoughts, feelings, about life sooooo much.  I treasure everything, and try to take nothing for granted.

Happy Birthday Babygirl, I love you.

Time is a Thief

I don't remember the first time I heard the sentiment, "time is a thief." Recently it is heavy on my mind. I haven't post...
