its been crazy around here. But the funnest part has been having my sister Mary's kids here and enjoying their sweet personalities. Wow. Little girls just sneak in and make my heart happy. So just about every day they played in the bathtub and they were super at entertaining themselves and they were very complimentary about all the snacks we made to eat saying thank you so much and how much they loved all the yummy things. sooo cute. they loved playing pretend. It was awesome. Shannon and Mckay loved checking on the chickens for eggs. and they found a couple. shannon called me aunt em the whole time and made me smile for how sweet and articulate she is. Kimberly is such a cutie pie. she loves her big sister shannon and will do anything to stand up for her. she was always sharing and if shannon got in trouble for trying to grab something from Kim, Kimber would feel sorry that shannon got a lecture and hand over whatever it was she was playing with. Little bit was sooo cute. she was so calm and mellow and she loved attention but she loved her mommy best. her hair is so curly and cute. she was tons of fun to have around.

the crazy part is in the middle of such wonderful things I feel like I am living on the edge of mental weirdness. soo I joined a group and got an assignment to create a grief ritual for myself. I've never done that before so all I could think of was to read that poem I wrote a couple of entries back. But tonight I went to a class at the church given by a physical therapist and she talked about keeping our bodies in motion. We learned some tai chi and I realized this could be another possibility for coping with post traumatic stress. I'll let you know how it goes.

"the edge of mental weirdness." That phrase just made me smile. :) I love ya Mom and am looking forward to seeing how tai chi may help out! :)
