Last night Lillian and I were browsing through our very first blog and came across this fun article I wrote back in 2008 about taking your kids on dates … Appropriate cause today Thomas and I go on a date! YAY!!! I asked him last night what he wanted to do and he said a picnic in the park and the library … Love that kid!

Date day with Thomas … 1st stop Grassroots Books with 12 bags of books to turn in! Second stop ……. The Barber Shop! He can see again! Thanks Frank for springing for the much needed haircut!

Next stop on the date ….. YUMMY FOOD! We shared bread pudding … oh my good grief!!! So good we looked like a couple of pigs at feeding time!

Next stop on our date …. Window shopping! We looked at every single lego set in Toys r Us and left a fun message on a whiteboard! Woooohooooo!

Thank you to sweet Thomas for bringing laughter so hard that my face hurt. Haven’t laughed like that in a long time. It was nothing really hilarious but for some reason it just got me. We were listing different kinds of candy for something Lillian is doing.

He yells, “Swiss worms!” I said, “Do you mean Swedish fish?” Yep, that’s what he was talking about. Don’t know why, but that just set me off! Whew! Good stuff!

Thomas is spending the night with the Romano Duo so Lillian and I get to have a day and a half long date. Started with a late afternoon walk.

First up on the October 2014 Lillian n Camilla date … Appetizers of tater tots and fries from Sonic and then a main course of homemade nachos!

We decided that the rest of the date would just be hanging out together and reading before heading to the Romano Casa for dinner and to retrieve Team Member T! We stopped by one of our favorite used book stores and it’s not there anymore!

Thomas got invited to Sophia Lee’s birthday party today. She’s our cute little neighbor upstairs. She’s turning 6 today and Thomas is 9. Interestingly, young ones just love Thomas and his company. xoxo

YUM! One of the upper el students brought me a persimmon today. I think this is the first time I’ve had one. I subbed in her class on Monday. She had one for lunch and I was asking her questions about it. She offered it then, but I told her she should eat it. She asked when I’d be back and said she’d bring me one. She remembered!

Last Wednesday I met an old friend for breakfast to catch each other up on what’s happening in our lives. I met Terry back in 2007. She began to update me on her situation. She had taken on a full time job at The Human Behavior Institute … Terry is a family/marriage therapist. Terry was explaining about PSR (psycho social rehabilitation) contract workers and what their function is as part of the team. I was looking at Terry and our eyes met as she was explaining this. She stopped and said, “Are you interested in being a contractor?” I said, “YES!”.

PSR’s work as a team with the therapist helping families .. some with special needs kids, some with children with mental health issues. These families are “broken” and need solid, loving, parenting modeled to them and guidance in understanding and accepting themselves and their children. Terry and I continued chatting just giddy with ourselves and the situation.The road had just been paved for my helping the very families that it is my purpose to help … the missing link … the road that will bring the next level of my journey! And, on my own terms as a contractor … Not an employee! Talk about WOW!!! The amazing power of controlling our thoughts just leaves me speechless and in awe ….
