The pills kicked in...

OK, dear 5 readers, after the feelings that inspired the last blog post, I decided to go on medicine. Not so much to not deal with the aforementioned "issues" but rather to be able to deal with the day-to-day stuff that requires the bulk of my brain.

In addition, I am visiting with a therapist (this action pre-dates, earlier crazy blog.) Funny thing about therapist, after visiting with her for about 2 months, she relayed that she is from KC, MO. Also of note, she is an alumna of St. Mary's College, Leavenworth, KS (the place where I spent the bulk of my high school years) odd... At any rate, the sessions are productive and enlightening. Slowly beginning to have a grasp on a few of the self destructive tendencies (visiting dietitian, dealing with anger, etc.)

On another productive note, the fam. is moving into a new level of domesticity. I painted our former guest room happy-ass pink and moved the kidlets into it. Then proceeded to paint over the yellow with red lady-bug former kidlet room so that wifelet and I could be nearer to said kidlets. Looks fabulous... Next, bought sleeper sofa for our former room and moved computer down there. Add TV left by she-who-shall-not-be- named and voila! Great office and guest-room. Next, paint kitchen cabinets, finish building girl's doll house and matching furniture, install granite counter tops, learn the role of Don Ramiro from Rossini's La Cenorentolla and figure out how to chant the Exultet... That is one hard chant!

On the Emillie front, not a lot to say. We are still waiting. There is really very little that can be done for missing adults. I can't believe how Byzantine the whole process is. Arghhhhh...

Yay! Just keep telling yourself, "one day at a time, one day at a time." :)
