Journal

Well, here it is Saturday nite before Easter Sunday. I don't think I have written for a very long time. much has changed and still more stays the same. You know how it is. My children are all doing alright, they are healthy and active maniacs. I love them, even when I can't stand them. LOL My oldest is still fidning his way, but I am , as always , Hopeful. My little man, is struggling with the differences between him and his brothers, but doing rather well. I think he is going to grow to be quite a well rounded man. Mini man is doing very well with his speech lately. full sentences, and even talking to me on the phone for the first time last time I was in Pittsburgh. I wa s so happy, here it took 6years to have that 2 or 3 minute "I miss you, how are you, what are you doing?" conversation. 6 years. I was so happy and proud of him. My relationship with hubby is on the rocks, but I don't want to talk about that right now. Right this minute he is installing a new new kitchen floor, and then will install my dishwasher! I cannot wait to turn that mad larry on and listen to the swoosh, swoosh of dishes being washed. For Easter my mother is traveling from NY, and my best friend, Kristy is coming over with her family. I was so pleased she asked if we should spend it together. She is a very nice person, and I find her to be a most genuine friend. I feel lucky to know her and it's been a long time since I can say that about someone. Well, I gotta go. I promise (to myself) to journal at least 3 or 4 times a week. It's good for me. If anyone read this, I miss you all here at DS and hope to learn more aobut some of the new ADL Center group members... (((hugs)))

Still working hard at it all, it's a new year and we are geared up for new programs and collaborations. I finally have an assistant I can count on and I swear she'll probably end up a co- creator. A bit scary to share, but she will earn it I'm sure.

Thanks for all your support everyone. I couldn't do this without you.
