Sweetness

So this morning I am signing off J's academic planner. They keep a daily "to do" list and then as parents, we make sure they have done everything and sign it off. It is a great way to keep tabs on what is going on in the classroom. Anyway, this morning, in our rush to get out the door, he tossed it to me with a pen and the "quick mom, sign it" look in his eyes. Because it is a new month, it was opened to the calendar for the month. Scrawled in ten year old penmanship was 'Referral ANY DAY !!!!!!!" written across most of the month. Attempting to keep my ever present tears at bay...I told him I thought that was really cool that he was thinking about his sister. "Mom" he says " I am always thinking about her, this wait is making me crazy" Oh so hard to keep the water works at bay at that point!! We had a great hug, and agreed the wait is really driving us crazy...but won't it be great when she is home.

Sitting in my dining room today is the ultimate car seat. Nana and Papa got us the Britax Marathon in pink. It totally rocks...now we just need to get this girl home and into it! Thanks mom and dad!
The comment from Z was ... now that's pink! Love it.

Going to try to be happy today. Going to try and focus on happy energy, happy thoughts and pink carseats. No tears today...she will come when the timing is perfect.
