Late

It is late....

And I am tired.....

Too tired to post...

but my head feels like a pot of Earl Grey tea with so many ideas brewing in my brain

We had a GREAT weekend at Vail. We celebrated Pops' birthday and SKIED...thanks to a vigilant, generous, Nonnie and Aunt Jen watching Samantha in the condo......

And tonight I attended my first board meeting at Foothills Gateway....

And I talked to parents of older children whose disabilities are just as severe as Samantha's...

And those parents still laugh, smile and even get away for a weekend despite years and years of the vigilant, high maintenance parenting required with these fragile kiddos.

I left feeling lighter and quite hopeful.

Long weekends are the best.

Foothills Gateway...this sounds new and fun. I'm excited to hear about it - whatever it may be. ENVISION just sucks and I am trying to cut my ties, not because I don't want to help this population thrive but because I feel like the person at the top does not hold those same desires. Let's get out in the next week or so.

Trauma should be the hall pass to life's other issues. Someone should tell the hall monitor

I posted something cryptic on Facebook Saturday. It caught a lot of attention from my tribe but it really wasn’t a big deal…. nothing ...
