Today was a good school day. Daniel did very well at school and even remembered the name of the girl who sits beside him. He ate the school lunch and said it was yummy. There was a jello stain on his bowling shirt. He said it tasted like yucky medicine.

Cory turned in his homework. He only missed one algebra problem (because he thought it was division, but it was fraction). He also turned in his history homework and received a 20/20. YAYYYYY!!! Things should only stay this good!! I am very proud of his efforts.

Aurelia has been in a funk lately. I think she may be growing or trying to communicate and is becoming frustrated. Let's all pray I don't decide to box her up and ship her to Timbuktwo before she learns some good words!

There were some big storms our way today. But from talking to people back home it was worse there. Lots of flooding near our old house. Gas leaks. People stuck because roads were underwater. All of those people will be in my prayers tonight.

Today was a great day. I am alive, I have people I love that love me back, I am free to come and go as I choose, I can read, I can kiss my kids. More and more, I see that we should all take each day and its hardships and evaluate it from a different perspective. Instead of complaining about what we don't have or what we can't do, we should rejoice in what we do have and the things we can do. Let's not wallow down deep in the negative, but allow the positive room to grow. I hope you are all well tonight.
Sleep well.
