8/8/07  Feeling quite a bit better today. This journal really helps me to see where my head is at and to change it if I need to. My good friend Deb from Vermont and I have come up with a date in October to see each other. We are going there to visit and I am soooo excited about that. As my mother would say "there is always something to be thankful for" Funny, she was a worry wart and she could be quite negative and yet managed to give me good advise. A do as I say not as I do approach to parenting. :) I miss her today. I think I will go to the cemetary and say hi, I need the walk anyway. I also realize that part of my bad feelings relate to the horrible home invasion we had in Cheshire CT. The guys who did it were arraigned in the New Haven courthouse yesterday. If the trial is going to be there we will be trying to get seats in the gallery as we are minutes away from there. This case is now receiving national attention and it very much resembles the circumstances in Kansas "In Cold Blood" Time to walk Deb!
