 Caren had a goal in mind today.  She was going to push herself to achieve.  She wants to be home.
     Sadly, I missed witnessing these accomplishments.  Although I was in touch with her by phone, there was just so much business, and so many errands - I was not with Caren today.
Monday morning I left at 11 am to p/u Austin.  I didn't walk in the door with the kids until 6:03 that evening.  Then I made supper.  Tonight was an early-to-bed night for all the boys.
     I AM grateful that the mortgage is paid; the auto insurance is moving smoothly, albeit slowly, :-); and I have an appointment with my tax lady tomorrow.  To accomplish all this - my bank account is now way overdrawn, *sighs*   Nonetheless, *cheerily*, we are making progress and our home is secure. 
     One of the many things I admire about Caren is her resilience of spirit.  My daughter is an achiever, an overcomer, she makes progress.  Any time I spoke to her today, she was either with PT (physical therapy), speech therapy, or listening to the CD's provided to her by RT (Recreational Therapy).  Not having any physical reserves, all this activity wears her out totally.  How she works through the pain continues to be a miracle to me.
