Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2002. It was Mattie's first Christmas and as you can see, we had a lot going on in our living room. Stacks of Mattie's books, his entertainment saucer, activity walker, and toys filled our home. Do you see Patches, our calico cat? She was never far from the action and she instinctually understood that she had to behave around Mattie.

Don't ask what I did today. It seems like a blur. I am sure many people can relate to this feeling at this time of year. You don't know what you are doing first and yet the holidays are vast approaching. They are coming whether we are ready for them or not. It is hard to believe that my intense caregiving role has been going on for a year now.
I would say that my parents were resting more than awake today. My mom seemed exhausted all day and I suspect it was because she had no down time during the day yesterday. Any case, while they were sleeping, I was doing Foundation work, Christmas dinner planning, and all sorts of chores.
