Good Day Sunshine

Today was a good day!

It started bright and early by getting Penny to the vet by 8:30. She needed her nails cut and a bordatella (I very well could have spelled that wrong) shot. We are taking the boys on our very first family vacation next month, and we're going to board her for a few days, so I wanted to make sure she'll be safe from picking anything up there.

Super shortly after I got back home with Penny, Michael showed up for respite time with Andrew. It makes my heart so happy how excited AJ gets to see him! They hung out here for a little while, and spent the rest of their time at Michael's house with his son, Mikey. With the pictures Michael sent me, it looks like Andrew had a great time! 

Right before they left, our very dear friend, Mona, aka MoMo came over. Not only do the boys adore her, but I don't have enough good words to explain her. She is quite literally the definition of having a heart of gold. She is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever known. She is truly a treasure, and I'm so thankful she's a part of our lives. Her and Gram get along beautifully, and that doesn't surprise me one bit. They're both just absolute angels on this planet. 

They were both sad that Gram couldn't come for her usual weekly visit, but my poppy tool a fall yesterday, so she stayed home with him. There's always next time! 

I'm having such a hard time noticing that Andrew J is officially aa tall aa MoMo! He's only 8!!! I give it two years, tops, before he's as tall or taller than I am. And I'm not a short person! Hahaha.

It brings me so much happiness that both of the boys love her the way we all do. Our circle may be pretty small, but it's all about the quality, not the quantity! 

I even got to take a little nap after all of that today.

It was just a good day🙂

Keep the Earth Below My Feet

Today started off really great. Gram came to visit and Michael came to do respite with Andrew. Both of the boys had a fabulous day with great moods all around. Gram and I usually check in with each other before bed, but she called me a lot earlier than usual today. She called to tell me that my mother called her. As her and I were talking on her cellphone, my mother called her on her landline again. I heard her say some pretty awful things to my Gram, but she held her composure really well. I truly don't understand how someone so heinous came out of someone so incredible. My Gram is an angel on this planet. I just don't get it. I'm beyond grateful she and I have been able to repair and create the relationship we have now after all of the years we spent apart.  I've had a pit of anxiety in my stomach since I heard my mother's voice. I just wish she'd leave every one of us alone. It's like she can't handle peace and no chaos. I hate that she still has the ...

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

I forgot to blog yesterday! Whoops. I was so exhausted after dancing my heart out the night before, hahaha. Today was a good day! We were supposed to have a planned power outage for line maintenance, but that never happened. I think that means it'll happen tomorrow.  My favorite part of today was right before I had to start the bedtime routine. Scott got stuck late at work, so I was solo with the boys. Andrew was playing with his big blue ball, and started throwing it to me. While Liam was watching us, he was laughing his tail right off. I thought since he was enjoying watching so much, he'd like to join in. I handed him the ball to "catch," and kept egging him on to throw it. Eventually he pushed it off of his lap back to me, and he was so proud of himself! Rightfully so. That turned into all three of us spending 45 minutes straight throwing the ball to each other. (Neither of them EVER spend 45 minutes straight doing anything at all, bahahaha) They even threw it bac...

Super crazy day today! I had a meeting with Liam's care coordinator on top of his regular therapies.  Plus I went to go help Gram set up her new router and modem. Everything went super smoothly, until we realized her landline didn't connect properly. That was a headache and a half! Glad we were able to get it all sorted for her. Andrew had his third great (direct quote!!!) day at school in a row! I'm so excited for him. I hope the break between summer services and the beginning of the school year doesn't fuss with his groove too much. They sent home this crown that he made today, and my heart can't handle how adorable it is. I'm also getting so excited for Sunday! My sister is coming into town. Her and one of my greatest friends are going to see Gavin DeGraw at the Spiedie Fest! I haven't seen him in concert since I was in braces, but my love for him has never wavered, bahahahaha. I can't wait!
