The long awaited update



So much has gone on lately, too little time to share. I thought that once I moved up here to the North Country where things are a lot slower, that I would have more time to blog. It's just the opposite. I have something going on most of the time. That something going on is my demanding daughter. She has taken on quite the little "Me, NOW!!!" personality. Its funny....but then again...NOT! She is talking up a storm, well, babbling. She says dadadadada, gagagaga, bababa, you know, all of those funny noises. She loves her Johnny Jump-Up, and screeches whenever she goes in it. She loves to listen to rap music when she is in it, she likes the beat. My mom said I was the same way, I loved music when I was in it.
Mattie started her first week of PT. The PT is Dana, she is a sweetheart, from Rochester (ironic), and is very good with Mattie. She will come every Wednesday. She did some different exercises with Miss Mattie, things that I have to work with everyday. Mattie doesn't seem to mind that, so that makes it all the easier.
I have a meeting with Social Security for Mattie. Early Intervention told me to set it up, because when she goes on April 5ht to see Dr. Katy, he might diagnose her with a disability, and if that is the case, she is going to need a lot of expensive equipment, or help to get her on track. Or even to help with all of the specialists bills, because they will add up quickly.
I am still looking for a job. I am glad that I don't have one right now, because Mattie really needs my attention, and we have appointments all of the time. But I really need to get one soon so we can start saving for a house. The basement is getting smaller and smaller.
Mattie and I had a playdate at my classmate Nikole's house. Her son Ryan is 2, and she babysits to other children. Mattie was quite timid, but that is just because she is spoiled. ha ha ha It was nice to visit with Nikole and for her to open her doors to let us visit.
Tonight I went to dinner with Nikole and another classmate Pam. We then had our class reunion meeting. That was quite fun, and I am glad that Nikole asked me to go. Its nice to catch up with others, and to start reconnecting. I need to get more friends. Don't get me wrong, Nellie is great, but we don't see each other much because of our busy lives. And I don't want to have only 1 person show up at my funeral when I kick the bucket (not anytime soon I hope). Gosh, that is one of my biggest fears, not having anyone come to my funeral.
Ok, its too late to worry about things as dark as that. I think I am going crazy.... ha ha ha. Nope, just overtired. Oh...did I forget to mention, Mattie loves to get up at 6:45 in the morning now. Yes, no sleeping in for me. She would do it for Scott when he stayed home with her, but nope, not for me. Little stinker! Gotta love her though.

Mattie is 1000% cuteness! What a doll Renee.

Thanks Lisa, I tend to think so also! She is quite the ham when you don't have a camera in your hands. But as soon as you get it out, Miss "I am serious and I have a huge ego and attitude" comes out. Quite the little diva!
