WOW

We've had some changes...Nothing earth shattering...Sam is feeling pretty good generally, altho last night when she got home she showed me her back...Swelling and lumbar shunt insertion site is sunken in. JHC.....Alec is changing schools....Chris' work schedule changed so now on the days I work, there is no one to take the kids to school...So my neighbor said to call her sons school and see if they have an opening. I sent an email this morning and the principal called me back within a half hour and said bring him in tomorrow. He's so excited. No one there knows he has an eating disorder or anxiety. He's eating peanut butter sandwhiches now so he can take a normal lunch. He didn't want to take a sandwhich to school because he thought the kids would tease him about eating normal food....Anxiety is a fun thing!!! He said maybe he can make some friends....God I hope so.... I hope this works out for him.

I think Chris has figured out not to call or have contact with us when he's drinking. He didn't call Thursday night and I found out later, didn't go to work either. As long as we don't have to know that he's drinking, it's fine. He can do whatever he wants when he doesn't have the kids....He's getting Sam a new pair of glasses today. She's excited.

Caitlin turned 18 on Thursday....I feel really old. We're going to have a little party for her tonight....I can't get her a present until Friday....She wants me to open a bank account for her...LaSalle Bank, they have branches in Michigan and Illinois so it will be convenient for her. She's gorgeous and beautiful and funny and her girlfriend Rachel said, "If my mom called me as often as your mom calls you, I'd go crazy". And Caitlin said, "I'm glad she calls me, I miss her..." I love you Cutelin.....
