We had a *much* better day yesterday!!! (it's about damn time!LOL)
Cait's first day of the new schedule went really well. She was saying how she is actually talking in class. The last 2 years, she wouldn't talk to anyone, nor ever raise her hand, and would have anxiety attacks if she were called on by the teacher. I love that she came home and spent a good half hour just proudly telling me about all of the good things that happened. The first Friday of the last school year, I was getting frantic texts from her saying that she hated school, please pick her up, don't make me go back etc. This is a very VERY happy improvement. She admitted that she knows she will have good days/bad days but she thinks that the good will be much more.
Can you feel my Mama Bear's relief?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Scott didn't have classes yesterday, but we go great news about his car. My parents were able to get it into the shop first thing in the morning. The took it apart, checked it all out and they can fix it for around $1000, and said it still has a lot of miles left on it. And my parents-- *kisses the ground they walk on*-- they are paying for it. I spoke to both of them yesterday and cannot thank them enough. He said that he is able to help and wants to. So I said that is what is so wonderful- not everyone's parents who are able to help, want to, like my BFF's parents.
Best part of it all, my dad, the man that I don't think has ever actually said the words "I love you to me" (I know he does, however) , was telling me about how great the kids are and how special they are. He said he can only hope that Christopher will grow up the same (my nephew, my brother's son). *That* was pretty powerful to me. I know that I can take some of the credit, but my kids (yeah, I know, you have heard this a million times haha!) are amazing on their own. Truly.
Last night, I was able to go to bed and breathe a sigh of relief and think that things are gonna be alright.
Not much going on here today. Cait's BF is coming over, Scott is with his GF, and I just have a bit of housework to do. I have to clean out my mess of an office- but that means I have to find places for all of these papers. *cries*
What fun plans do all of you have going on today?
hugs!!
