Hard to believe that this is the last day of yet another year, but even more so, yet another decade...
What's happened to the time...
I moved...
Had twins...YIKES!
Got married again...and didn't have a honeymoon... :(
Bought and sold too many cars...
Bought a house...
Started a blog...something I never thought I'd do....
Changed jobs four times within the same organization...
Found a wonderful church home...
Changed my sewing room around more times than I can count on my fingers and my toes...
Too many UFO's ... (unfinished objects for those that don't sew)...
Got a Facebook page...another never thought I'd do that...
Hopefully more than halfway to getting Jamie to a place that can really help...
Gotten more outspoken publicly about how cruddy the services for kids like him really are...
Helped finish an addition on the house after DH had back surgury because it had to be finished...
Learned more about self-employment that I didn't like....
And a whole bunch more stuff too....but this is getting lengthy....
One of these days I will figure out how to get this thing to show pictures at the top in the slideshow box....
That can go in the resolutions file...along with keeping the kids well because this year alone has been awful....seven bouts of strep and we are now doctoring the third documented case of pneumonia...
Maybe the house is making us sick???? It still needs new drywall and major insulation improvements...and windows...and roof work...and...and..and.... Good thing there is another decade starting...

2010...I promise to do better
Good golly...where has the time gone...Christmas has come and gone and I have posted nothing since Thanksgiving time.
We are still not a whole lot closer to getting Jamie placed. We still have all the Level 4's to go. I have to call one or two who are being particularly difficult....maybe I will tackle that today since my "good" serger seems to have gone on the fritz. I am hoping it is simply a power cord as suggested by my "friends" on http://www.sewingmamas.com/ . I love that site. A bunch of friendly, idea filled people. I even got major ideas for all those last minute gifts I had to make.
Anyway...I was going to go to The Hughes Center for Exceptional Children in Danville, VA, but in the process of getting the twins ready to leave the house to go and visit, they decided that no one under 13 was allowed on their campue. So, that has totally nixed the idea that Jamie might be able to be placed closely. It's sad that he will have to be 6.5 hours away. I'm not comfortable with him being that far away, but short of a spot opening up at FACT in Jacksonville, NC, we are stuck sending him to TN. The center in TN is awesome, don't get me wrong, and we will be very blessed by the services he will receive while he is there...it's just that is it so far away.
Christmas was a total fiasco with Jamie. We went Christmas day having been told by the dr that we could "carry" Jamie his presents, but it didn't happen that way. The receptionist at the desk doesn't seem to care to much for us. It's ok, her behavior has made the feeling pretty mutual. So upon leaving I called the dr on Christmas day. I suspect he was none to happy to have had his day interrputed by an upset parent. He said he would take care of it. The receptionist's attitude was no better the next day when we returned to have "special" visitation with Jamie so we could have "Christmas" with him a day late. She even ended up cursing at Gary. That issue remains to be settled. It just seems that the longer he is there, the more issues that arise.
Well....off to play with my serger with a mind of it's own....and promises to keep better postings...I think a daily dose of writing would do me well.....
