Good day's

Abby looks great today.  Finally a good day.  No nausea, no fever, no icky pale/gray look, only a few times did she stare off with a glassy, far away look.  All in all, a little fussy this morning, but fine.  She had blood work drawn today, so hopefully we'll see her counts are better and she's tolerating being off of TPN.

Emily had no noticeable seizures today.  The most fun she had all day was helping me clean out Nola's ears.  She just loves gross stuff, which I think is pretty  funny.  She's been letting Nola on her bed all the time lately.  It's very cute, but it drives me a little crazy because of the only not fun thing about dogs:  DOG HAIR!  When I come in and find Nola cuddled up with her, she takes one look at me at starts laughing, what can I say?  They are both so happy. 

Again? 

A little play time with clean ears :)

So the girls are good, I guess that means I finally get to have a day when I can fall apart just a little.  I'm walking around the house wondering how in the world I'm gonna smash 10 years of  "stuff" into a moving truck.  Seriously, freaking me out!  I'm sad about everything we're leaving behind but so excited about having my family together again. 

I guess I'm just destined to live a life of contrasts.  Shadowed Joy.  There's always light, but rarely without darkness.  It makes it so much easier to see the only true Light.  The light of the living God that does not fade :)

I'm thankful to spend even a single day thinking about what any normal person in my situation would be thinking of.  Feeding kids, moving, feeding kids, moving, feeding kids, moving...well you get it.  I have no idea what tomorrow will bring, so today, I'll indulge in the luxury of being just a tiny bit normal. 

I'm sure I won't get too used to it, but I'm thankful for now. 

I read this quote recently, and it's stayed with me:
What if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you've thanked God for?

Something to think about.
