It was a good weekend - time to rest - pizza at Richard and Julie's. AND the Eagles won!
We were up early yesterday to take Chelsea to the airport. Her trip was pleasantly uneventful. They had a slight delay in Cincinnati, but they were only about 25 minutes late getting into Indianapolis, so Chelsea didn't have a problem connecting with her ride. It was a really nice two weeks.
Back to work today - no fun. AND another 5 day week! Two in a row! One day at a time - or as Phil Roy says... "it's a day to day thing... just a day to day thing."
1 down (almost) and 4 to go.

No more schwimmie diapie????
Yesterday was Kate's first swimming lesson. Julie sent me a picture of Kate in her swim suit! Not TOO cute, or anything! I can just picture Julie and Richard "encouraging" from the sidelines. :)
Today is Friday and I've worked ALL 5 days this week. I know most people just consider that normal, but personally, I think I deserve some kind of reward for showing up every single day.
One more 5-day week and then we have off on the 19th (Martin Luther King Day) which makes for a 4-day week. I can do this again - one more time. I just know I can.
Chelsea has 2 more days at home and then -----------> back to school in Indiana. She seems so happy this trip. It's been a great visit. I think we've done most of the things she wanted to do - gone to her favorite spots - had a cheesesteak from Steak Works - dinner at Grotto's - she had lunch with her dad - and last night we had dinner at Brusters. The only thing we've missed is breakfast at Jimmy's. Maybe she and Michael (and Kelly) can do that this morning. Two weeks has just flown by.
Well, I actually have work to do so I'm out of here for now.
Have a great day!

She loves me! She said so!
By name and everything!
Michael and I went to Julie and Richard's to cheer the Eagles on and Kate spontaneously (no bribe... no threat... she just said it) gave me a hug and said... clear as can be.. "I love you, Grammie." She did! She said it! I'm amazed! I'm delighted! I knew the child was brilliant! This is just proof that she is also discerning in her opinion of people!
The last couple of times we went to Richard and Julie's, Kate screamed... ran in circles... jumped... as soon as she saw us. If I could have... I would have done the same thing! She is so precious!
Oh! And... the Eagles won!
Kate also knows the Eagles fight song. She and her dad sing it (and dance it) together...
Fly, Eagles, Fly! E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!!
Mental treasures... I can close my eyes and see them again.
Welcome back - me!

Lost time is lost forever. I'm sad about that. There have been so many wonderful things to write about in the last couple of months and the opportunities are gone. I guess the only thing to do is to start from here. So... I will.

Quotes * October, 2008
October, 2008
"Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it."
~ Pamela Glenconner ~
"How far you go in life depends
on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
~ George Washington Carver ~

Bleed! Bleed! Bleed!
Today was THE day for the bloodwork that the good ol' rheumatologist requires every 8 weeks. Painless (pretty much) as usual. (Thank you, Quentin!)
That's it. Just bloodwork.
The end.
