Last night

I was very proud of myself last night. I woke up when Mom took Casey out at 2:30am, so I went to the bathroom too. Ginny woke me up at 3:45am needing to go the bathroom and decided she was thirsty and water wouldn't do. So I gently and calmly explained that she can't get anything but water in the middle of the night and asked her if she wanted to sleep with me (she was wide awake and I wanted to go back to sleep).

When she came into my room, we spent a little longer trying to calm her down and convince her I wasn't going to get her some milk. She finally calmed, laid down, and went to sleep.

I was so proud that I didn't lose my temper, kept calm, and won the battle. Whoo hoo!

I then had a dream about being in the hospital with my brother, Trey, and putting him into rehab. It was a very sad dream and the sadness had stayed with me all day. I wish we'd been able to help him.

Lunch with my friend Terry tomorrow. For some reason, I haven't seen her since the end of March. Juliana will be there so we don't be able to have a GOOD talk, but it will be a nice lunch with the 2 of them.

Thank the Lord for a 3 day weekend!

The Treadmill

Well, I'm into reading Lolcats and funny pictures these days. It's one of my favorite sites. This one speaks volumes - ours is in the family room.

One of my favorite sites is Lolcats and funny pictures. This was too cute to pass up.

Missing my family

I've been in Kansas City since Wednesday morning at a Web conference. I'm missing my family, my animal, my bed. Tired of sitting on this chair. Almost time to go to the airport and head home. We might be looking at beagles at our favorite Homeless Pets Foundation. Juliana is looking at Oscar or Felix - she LOVES beagles. I might have to beg mom for Lucky or Avery though. The Atlanta Humane Society has Zada, too - she's a beautiful blue/gray small dog.

Missing the beach.

10th Anniversary of trip to U.S.

April 28 is Juliana's legal adoption anniversary. We've been a family for 10 years last week. 10 years ago on Wednesday the 6th, Mom and I brought Juliana home to the U.S. and began our life together.

Juliana is such a joy - well, beginning the tween phase, so a joy most of the time. LOL. I've missed seeing the sparkle in her eyes that I saw when she was a toddler, but I finally saw it again in photos taken last month during our Sanibel Island trip.
