I'm filled with awwwwww. One of the kids DH coached, who graduated with Brendon, just sent me a video clip of him proposing to his girlfriend via text. Then texted I'd better come to the wedding. Like I would miss it.

Kids may be frustrating, but they often grow up to be really sweet adults.

I send mostly wordless support for msbelle and Cindy.

Cindy, I'm sorry. That would grind anyone down. I hope there is some respite soon.

I continue to boggle at mac's lack of comprehension about what his life is going to be like very shortly. It's not as if you were coy about it.

I expect it is a combination of complete inability to comprehend future consequences of actions, and not believing mom means it. Oh, child.

Here's a tiny bit of Good News (tm): Rosemary got moved to a cardiac rehab hospital, so she's in a more copacetic place where she can recover and be exercised until she can climb 13 steps and come home!

Note that previous to the operation, 13 steps was a major chore for her (bad knees and yes, exhaustion brought on by leaky heart valve).

She'll also be allowed to wear normal clothes, so I'm bringing her a bag of pajamas and so on tomorrow.

Sending massive coping vibes to Cindy and msbelle.

In celebrating small victories. Mac attended all 4 classes today and was not even tardy once. First time that has happened all week.

Woot!

The bar is so low it is more of a tiny road bump.

(Jotting that down for future lyric in my musical)

Yay for tiny victories!
