    18 weeks today

    Hi all-

    I hope everyone is having a great weekend. It's very hot here in NC with no relief in sight.

    My daughter is going to a concert in Va tomorrow until Monday so I'll have my granddaughter.
    It can be very trying since her disability includes occasional meltdown/ tantrum type of behavior out of the blue.
    Sometimes it's hard to know the right thing to do. I plan to take her out to a restaurant in the afternoon, which can be
    interesting. She has ultra sensitivity to stimuli, and when people stop to say hi to her she freaks out.
    It's sad that her third birthday is coming up and she is not aware of what that even means really.
    Sometimes my heart breaks, but she has lots of love and that's our job. And the therapists do a great job too.

    That's it foe me- a simple normal life- the kind of life that has real meaning and purpose. I still would not consider drinking.
    I've gotten over the strangeness of that and just accept my new self.

    Peace and love

    Ann

    Great going on 18 weeks Ann, those days quickly add up into months.
    Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?
