Crazy ass week...

[ianuk]

Well, last week brought lots of change to our house. The family made the executive decision to go see Grampa Kemp in April so we will all be travelling together as a unit. The Grandsons will get to be together for the first time and I'm sure that will be EPIC. Sad that we are doing it that way but still its needed. Also on the family decision front we finally said Adios! to Childtime. The straw that broke the camels back was that they wanted Benton evaluated for autism/other disorders since he was such a disruption to their facility. Yah, no. My kid is intelligent but not too bright some days and does not like to be crowded etc. I made some phone calls and took a tour of Old Spanish Trail Preschool who I had previous not gone to since they didn't have openings when Benton was a baby. They are AWESOME. Holy cow. The absolute change in the kid allowed behaviour, the rules, the staff...its really night and day. We enrolled Benton on Friday and got him out of childtime (to their complete shock) and let him see his new school and he was ecstatic.

Over the weekend we worked hard on the potty training and he wore (in his words) big boy panties and only had a few accidents. The incentive at the new school is to have the kids potty trained so they can use the "big kid" playground which is literally 3 times the size of my house lot.

His first day was good and we got great reports back and we are so happy.

I also managed to smack the crap out of my foot again on the bathroom stool so I'm again hobbling. Sighs.

Dame Fiona passed away yesterday morning and I'm sad. She was such an awesome crazy lady. Fabulous spirit and artisan. She will be very much missed.

I knew she was terminally ill, of course, but I'm still sad to hear she's gone.

She and I had very briefly discussed running for B&B of BTY after Charlie and Renee, but life got in the way.

She had had her 7th heart attack in 20 years...so sad. I'm just suprised that she didnt outlive Lucia who, when she left, was dealing with caner, again.

D'oh.

I've confused Fiona with Lucia.

I have no convincing excuse for this.

No worries. Lucia is happy and now LAURELED in Atlantia.

She and Fiona were such good friends.
