Hey, Mom! How are you? Apparently, letting my hair grow to its natural color has been a good idea because I’ve gotten all kinds of compliments on how pretty the color is. Jennifer asked if I had ombréd my hair. A guy in our shipping department stopped by my office to tell me that I’m a beautiful lady. A lady in our production department said my hair looks so good, and she can’t wait to have a head full of gray hair. And finally, a woman at Walgreens complimented me on how beautiful my hair is. Maybe I should have gone gray long ago.
So, I know it’s been a long time since I last wrote to you. Life has been ever-changing. There have been some good happenings, like continued trips to the dog park with Dandi, back to school and good behavior from Ramsey, a sense of contentment with my job.
But there have also been a few hiccups. The most recent one is that Ramsey’s therapist was being too harsh with Ramsey. She would really fuss at Ramsey for not doing the work. Ramsey got so upset one day, she peed herself. I had to report her to Ramsey’s case manager because I can’t have someone treating Ramsey that way. It’s bad enough that she sees that side from me; I’m not going to let a stranger do that to her. We’re trying to work it out.
Ramsey starts a before care program next week so I can get into work earlier. Hopefully, she will do better with this program than when I had her in the program with the YMCA at her school. This is with a local daycare, and she will get to ride a bus when they take her to school. I’m sure she will like that.
Ramsey is really doing well with reading. She reads some of her books now. Here is a clip of her reading one of them last night. She is so smart. She can even read some words that are listed as 3rd grade level. I knew she would be brilliant.
So, my little family unit is doing ok. We all miss you, though. I hope somehow you are getting these updates. I’ll leave you with this beautiful picture of Ramsey that I put through a comic book filter. I love you.
Hey, Mom! How are you?
