We are home.
Much fun was had by all.
Mountains of laundry, a dirty house, little food (as I neglected those duties before our trip
).
Glad to be home now.
Recouping in anticipation of our summer schedule (it's something of a doozy, but in a good way) beginning on Monday.
Grateful for the experience of the past week.

Brought my girls with me to give blood.
They were astounded by my courage (mama, is that YOUR blood in that bag?!)...
little do they know that they ARE my courage.

Just trying to keep my head above water.
No time for anything but treading right now.
Peaceful blessings to you all.

Worked this morning.
Came home to two squirrels sitting on my kitchen table.
Commence freaking out (them, not me) and stalking with broom-like weapons (that would be me).
One ran upstairs and was cornered by Punkin (my eldest cat) in my bedroom closet. No idea where the other one went, hopefully out one of the doors I had open. Freed the one upstairs by removing the screen in my closet window and closing the squirrel inside the closet, sans Punkin. Funniness.
They ate threw the tin foil that I covered my dish of melting chocolate. Claw marks in chocolate, trashed now.
They'll be back, and we can't figure out how they got in. Chimney is closed; dryer vent is screened; no windows without screens (though a few in my kitchen have to be replaced as the squirrels tried to chew their way through them to get out of the house). Attic is sealed up too. I can't figure it out. Two of them, even.
And that's my big excitement.
I was a ninja with the squirrels, though... ya'll shoulda seen me
.
Good night.

Wait three months for an appointment.Read more...
Get excited and prepared, just knowing that this will finally be the place that helps you maneuver the system.
Conquer anxiety and drive to appointment in pouring rain.
Find parking.
Walk from parking garage, two blocks through pouring rain, to appointment location.
Sign in.
Get told that this place does not do psych evaluations nor autism evaluations. "We only do drug evaluations and monitoring."
Realize that you were misunderstood on the phone when you made the appointment (probably because you don't know what the hell you are doing).
Start to cry, out of frustration... That whole-body attack crying where you can't even try to speak or you know you become hysterical and not be able to pull yourself back together in time to turn around and face your child.
Wait 30 minutes to see psychologist anyway, hoping that there is some pearl of help you can grab onto.
Spend 90 seconds in dr's office.
Go back out into rain, through garage, in car, back on road.
Drop of your child at school.
Go home instead of work because you just can't take it anymore.
Go to bed because what the fuck difference does it make anyway.
I am bloody from beating my head against this wall. Depleted.
Just so over everything. So completely over life.

A friend took this photo of us dancing Saturday at the wedding.
I love when we are like this. Always when we dance.

Wedding flowers...
The bridal bouquet.
Probably the most gorgeous and hopeful color blend that I've ever seen. I want to wrap myself in these colors.

We attended our friend's wedding last night.
Ed was the best man.
Old friends. Much dancing (hence my shiny face). A few drinks.
A great time.
Now I need about a week to recover.
More photos later, when I have recombined my brain matter.
True
Lifetime
