Kari is now at a place across the valley exactly 6.7 miles away but the boys are going to be with me for a while because of her disability. We will take things very slow. Even though she is now taking on a new chapter and is happy about it (as she takes over more of her life), I find myself missing her. It isn't the first time. Children often find they need the help of their parents more often these days, it seems. Over the past 10 years she has been home a couple of times. She came to live with me when she was expecting Riley... and then Brady. In the past year, we discovered that she has ADHD. As I look back at the behavior of my family on my mother's side, I can see that there has been this issue with many family members, they just were not diagnosed. My view is, although I wish she didn't have it's challenges, I am very thankful that she found out early in life. From this point on, she can go on with knowledge and get help for any situation. She was so depressed before and now she is doing so much better. I am really proud of her.
So many people watched the Superbowl but I didn't. That was hard to admit while everyone talked about the game today. I guess the Patriots at some point during the year they were found cheating. I don't know anything about it since I don't follow sports too closely. I guess those around here that do were very glad that the Giants won, just on the "fairness" factor.
There isn't any thing exciting to write about today. It was a Monday. Back to work; switching weekend thoughts and desirers to the "To Do" list that is before us each work day. We watched half of the movie The Holiday last night. Tonight we will watch the second half. This will be my 3rd or 4th time watching it but the guys have never seen it. They don't seem to bothered by the fact it is a chick flick. I wonder why? (Joking)
Have Super Tuesday ;-)

Hi Danna,
I hope your week is going well for ya... it's raining now and since we had all that snow already, we are looking some major flooding! Oh boy... About the adoption thing - They are cute little graphics that are hand drawn (just like my sigtags) and you "adopt" them for your website. There are places called adoption shops and those people purchase them to share with others. There are terms of use that go with them all and you can't do anything else but display them on your pages. I have displayed a couple in today's entry so you can get an idea about what they are. I hope this helps! Have a wonderful day!
Danna, Kari is so fortunate to have you on board with this ADHD diagnoses, I was diagnosed as a adult later in life. It has proved challenging at times, but for the most part, it seems to make me more driven in certain areas.
Don't feel bad about not seeing the game..I only saw it till halftime but had gads of other things that needed to be done to ready me for the week.
Hope your having a great week.
Hugs!
Hi Danna, I have to admit and say I don't really know what the situation is with Kari and your grandkids (not sure if she's been living with you a while etc. I thought you had a granddaughter living with you? I'm a little mixed up I think) but I'm glad things are improving for her and she has her own place.
We didn't watch the big game on Sunday, my hubby doesn't care for football :) which is great for me cos I don't understand any of it.
Hope your week is going well
Hugs Denise
