"Hold her tight and love her, for when you see the sun in her eyes you know the storm clouds will soon over take the grassy hills. When you see this begin, take her in your arms and hold her from the wind, lest it carry her into the great unknown of her soul. ~S.

I don't have much to say today. I looks like a few more things are going to be changing around here and I'm a little worn out at the thought of them. Some things have happened at Emma's school and I'm going to be pulling her out of there before too long. Which, means I'll be a stay at home mom for quite a bit of the week, rather than having her in school even when I'm not working. The time that I am working, she'll either be at a new school part time, or she'll be with my aunt. We'll just see how it goes. She's feeling better today. Her skin is still very sensitive to the touch, but she went to school and was running around playing with her teacher before I was even out the door. Thank you all for your well wishes. And now, since I have nothing else to say, I'm going to leave you with something I took from Des, who, if you don't know her, you should.... she's amazing.
