Duct tape

There really is nothing like duct tape!! It doesn't fix everything but it sure fixes a lot! The following picture makes me feel like a white trash mom but oh well:


We bought a nice, brand new, tub of butter and two days after opening it, our littlest one tried to pick it up. It was too heavy for her so the whole tub fell right to the floor and the lid split from one side to the other. And no matter how hard I try, I can't pick the darn thing up from out of the fridge without grabbing it by the lid. My hands don't fit around the tub. So, every time I try to grab it, either the lid falls off, my thumb goes through the crack into the butter, or I drop it. So frustrating! And I have watched my kids do the same things trying to get the ridiculous tub of butter out of the fridge. So, I duct taped it! So far it's holding well. We'll see how long it lasts.

I have been so proud of my son lately! He is doing so well in school and is even starting to read on his own! It's awesome!! He is very happy most of the time now and doesn't have fits of anger as often. He has just been so much fun lately! He makes our lives very happy! Today he came home with a couple new drawings that were very cute...


He is just an amazing little person! I love him!

I talked with my dad today and am pleased to say he is doing well. I love his sense of humor so much!! He made me laugh so many times today. I just love him! I get to go see him soon and I can't wait. I know he is often frustrated with his situation but he is sure in good spirits! I am excited to go see him - and the other members of my family that are there. It will be nice.
