Update
I feel like I've been away for eons. I hardly ever post on weekends, this weekend was no exception. I was away in Temagami visiting my 93 year old Grandmother who's health is failing. I also stopped by to see my Great Aunt June who is in her mid 80s,who I have not seen in 10 years. She lives in North Carolina and I have not been to my cottage (close by her cottage) in that long.
Monday my daughter had the first four of eight fillings she requires. It tired both of us out. I must say she did so well. Better than me at that age!
Tuesday I had an apointment with an in-take worker to start (or continue?) the process of having Lina assessed for learning "differences" (I just love political correctness - don't you?). It was a four hour ordeal and I had to answer such questions as did I use street drugs during my pregnancy, when did Lina first sit up, when did she first start talking, etc. In any case. I was pretty satisfied with the in-take worker and the meeting as a whole. Sometimes, I feel that I'm making more of this than I should, it's obvious to everyone that she is very intelligent. I hear it all the time... "she'll find her way, at some point she'll just blossom"..., "I don't think anything is wrong with her, you guys just are expecting too much from her"..., "She is so smart, how could there be anything wrong".. The comments go on. In fact my mother-in-law told me the other day (I had informed her of my meeting with the in-take worker only because she would find out some day and I didn't want to be accused of keeping "important information about her grandchild" away from her), that maybe it was Hubby and I that were causing the problems because we were teaching her at night and she was overwelmed by everything. No. I don't think so.
Anyway, by the time I finished that meeting there was little reason to go to work. I mean - I'd have to drive 1/2 hour just to work for an hour. I worked on crafts instead.
Then Tuesday night there was a beauty of a storm. Visual sighting of a tornado and all (not by me). When we returned to the office yesterday morning we were without internet connection.
So now we are all up and running again and I was finally able to get my complete Bead-It! project scanned. Phew.
Maybe if I get inspired tomorrow I'll get an Inspiration Wednesday post up too.
