MAKING PROGRESS!

June 12, 2009:  Okay...another day of progress...I actually got down on my knees and scrubbed all the ick under the old vent cover and vacuumed the vent, before I put the new one on.  I am, however, ashamed of the ICK!  I cannot believe that I let it go that long!  I am a very, or I thought, clean person.  I guess I just really haven't noticed much the past two years.  Well, I am noticing now!  That has to be progress. And, Windex makes this wonderful cleaner for outdoor windows!  You just attach the bottle to your hose and wash your windows.  I have had this bottle two years!  I used it today.  WooHoo.  Now....if I can just get to the inside.....  I found a long lost cousin, on Facebook.  I am very excited.  I lost, in my childhood, so much of my Dad's side of the family.  I have been, for the past several years, been trying to re-connect with them.  It seems, as I age, and have lost a son, family is more important to me than ever.  I mean, they always were.  But, it has never been more clear how quickly we lose people.  My living children need to know of these people!  They are a part of my past and Chris and Adam's present/future. I am, as of two days ago, the great Aunt of a boy.  His name is Rory.  He was one month early and very small....4 lbs 8 oz.  But, he is doing VERY well.  I am not close to my sister. (half)  I am not really close with my nephew.  However, I do believe in family.  And, I am so glad Mom and baby are doing well!  Mom had to have a C-Section.  I will probably see this baby once, maybe twice, in the next two years.  That is okay.  He is a blessing. Not much else went on today...Cleaning ICK and windows was enough!  Craig and I did cook out and had a nice meal.  Maybe tomorrow I will finally fold the socks and underwear!  I really hate that load!  It is so tedious!  When my boys were small I actually numbered and initialed their socks so it would be easier!  And, it was!   I don't mind washing and drying....I really hate folding and putting away....that is a lot like work!   So.....normal things....fairly normal day.  Why is it that I still don't feel "normal?"
