We used to revel in the "new perfect" that was our life. Raising a beautiful girl with multiple special needs showed us that "perfect" is all in our minds. Emily's life was perfect. It was happy, it was brilliant. She was social, outgoing, silly, and ticklish. Now we are learning to get through life without our "Perfect Peanut" in it. This is most certainly NOT a new kind of perfect.

Busy week!
I haven't had a chance to sit and blog all week. I can't believe it's already Friday! We are taking a break from OT and PT for Peanut for a while. She just hasn't made any gains in at least 6 months. We see small "inchstones" - we don't like to wait for milestones to celebrate. :) So we haven't had to go to OT/PT all week, and no one had any doctors appointments this week. Wow!
I was in charge of our school's Read-A-Thon on Tuesday, which was Dr. Seuss' birthday. It was a ton of work but so much fun! I had the mayor of our city, policemen, firemen (who got called out and had to leave), and the librarian from the big children's library come. We gave out books to every kid who participated, and had a blast all day. Any kid who brought in a pledge of any amount got to wear their pajamas, so that made it extra fun. :) This is Monkey and one of his best friends since 1st grade. He calls her and another friend "His Girls". LOL
Yesterday we had a BMX show at school. It was awesome! It didn't hurt that the guys were incredibly cute, but it was so much fun! The kids loved it and I got some really cool pictures.
The only downfall of this week was that the Hubby woke me up at midnight because he was short of breath. He had been up for two hours already dealing with it. I told him it was anxiety and to take one of my Xanax. He said no, it wasn't. So I called my Mom, she came to stay with the kids, and off we went to the ER. End result, it was anxiety. It took most of the early hours of the morning though, so I am YAWNING a lot. Need coffee!
Tonite I am going to the cheapy theater to see The Lovely Bones with some friends. It'll be nice to get out. Tomorrow I am pulling Monkey out of school early so that we can go to Disneyland and meet up with Jaxson and his family!! I am SUPER excited about that. :)
