What helps us stay afloat?

What is helping us deal with our issues?
First off - a call from a fellow more experienced parent of a child with ASD who says she will come to the house to give us a hand.

Second - a call from a girlfriend who wants to come for a visit knowing how nuts things may be around here.

Third - a present - a HUGE unexpected present for Zach that made me cry it was so awesome.
Uncle Ron and Aunt Gail really blew us away with all the great Thomas the Train videos. I am afraid I likely confused the kids as I told Sophie I was happy when she asked me why I was crying.

Fourth - our new washer and dryer - a present from Steve's late Grandma Helen.

Fifth- Joe's safe return from Afghanistan!


Sixth - Zach's terrific smile.

Seventh - Sophie and me getting to spend the day together at her preschool.


Eighth - my mother in law extending her stay and helping us out so much. Plus the unexpected offer on her home that she accepted. Let's say a prayer that the contingency is met (the buyer needs to sell their home.)

Ninth - my mother having us over for dinner of homemade galumpki.

Thanks for all those simple things.
