B's Gifts

Last night B was at the dining room table. Not unusual. Most nights she is there with paper, crayons, scissors & TAPE! She is always creating something or other & I usually pay no attention until she is finished & then I'm amazed at a fully functional, 3 dimensional pop-out something. I noticed her big jewelry box on the table & asked what she was up too.  She had decided that she NEEDED to give something "special-er" to her BFF's for Christmas so she was finding a "perfect" bracelet for each one.

She was wrapping them by the time I noticed and really, how could I intervene. They were put in her backpack in a special compartment & went to school with her today.

Important Things

Spending a few hours with 30 of my favorite second graders today. Milk & cookies with Santa & my time couldn't have been better spent.  I feel lucky to get time with these kids. It doesn't take much to break up the monotony & make them happy.

Christmas Cookies Are Love

Are You There God, It's Me Pip?!

It has been a week, let me tell ya.

And I just drew a COMPLETE blank as to WHY, it has been a week!

Yeah. That's the shape my brain is in & there isn't even any Vodka to blame it on!  Work is going REALLY well.  A serious new project is underway with lots of connections, lots of support & a clear (somewhat easy almost) path. I really need to get myself together so that I can iron out an outline of what I need to accomplish & by when. I NEED to do that, like tomorrow.

M's latest eye drop to keep the pressure down is WORKING! It dropped 10 whole points since last week and as of now, no more surgery is imminent. I mean, it could still happen sure, but this is the lowest her pressure has been sinvce July. That in itself is a HUGE victory.

Huge.

The DJ & I are talking constantly. I have come to the conclusion that it's heading somewhere & even if its just good friends I'll be very happy. He is such a great guy & a good egg.  Really makes me laugh, (I've been nicknamed Pip) we think alike so our humor is similar & that keeps me on my toes. I haven't been this happy to meet someone new in a VERY long time.

More tomorrow when my brain works!

The Only Pain Is To Feel Nothing At All

When My Sister Watches Her...

And A Showgirl She Was!

B is in the first row with the black dress with the red bow & puffy skirt.  Right in front of the microphone & she sang & dance like a {Christmas} Rockstar.

These are the only pics I have mainly because I took video. I have only video & Maya cause they were not right in the front so it was harder to get them.

Back.

My internet was down, it's obviously not now. Real post later.
