Word of the day

// December 1st, 2009 // Batten

Couple of days, actually. We’ve been having a rough go of it with Rachel. I’m crossing my fingers for a good couple of days starting tomorrow. We took Holly to be groomed today at Sunshine Pet (www.sunshinepet.com) and are about to go and pick her up. Hopefully that will lift the word of the day from her a little bit, or at least raise her mood.

Word of the day: dementia

Lots of anger, irritability, lack of concern for others, lack of reality, immediate (IMMEDIATE) screamed demands. Frustration, crying, throwing, hitting, flipping out, inability to prevent herself from acting out on intense feelings. And on and on and on.

Today this disease might have won but I swear that I am going to kick its ass this weekend and have a great, GREAT time with my kiddos. Stupid batten disease. Take a couple of days off because it’s my turn to have her!

    Yes, take a few days off Battens and let her family enjoy their daughter. :) Whatever you set your mind to, you will accomplish! :)
