The only pic I got from her year end dance concert! She has made huge strides this year. As we were headed home she got all quiet and a little teary. I asked what was wrong and she said "I'm just SO sad the year is over"

Half full
I had the thought this week as I drove to Primary Children's hospital, where I couldn't decide if my glass was half full or half empty. I am a firm believer in the concept "it is what it is". However I believe mentally we have a choice of focus. Was I focused on the fact that I was super lucky to live close to a great hospital. Lucky to have professionals go out of their way to help my son. Or was I focussed on how much it sucks to have your vacation end at the hospital. The nurse was going to completely miss his vein and I was going to have to sit on my child to constrain him while he yelled and screamed in pain. Which would I remember or relate to others as I told of my experience?
The past week has been full of poop. No matter what I do, Rems has something going on with his intestines and he is a pooping machine. EVERYDAY I am cleaning poop out of carpet or clothes or bedding and usually more than once a day. Again this morning I was thinking about Thankful Thursday (which was yesterday) and I am so thankful for clorox wipes, I am thankful for my washing machine. To think of dealing with his intestinal issues without a washing machine. That would be CRAP. Literally! Grateful for this weird tube in his belly that has me dealing with poop 2-3 times a day vs. 10 -12. I've done 10-12 and it SUCKS. So I am grateful, thankful, happy. Now at the same time I want to sit down and just have a good cry, because poop stinks no matter how often you have to clean it up. I can find many many more things that suck about the above situation, but mentally I can't go there. If I go there and find the glass half empty I will not function. I won't get out of bed. So for today the glass is half full. It has to be.
