The Everyday Project Day 225

Field trip ...to Canyon Raceway to ride go karts. Friends in attendance: Cadence and Seth, aka Sid.

It is soooo far out there. If we go again, we need to find something else to do in the East County. Casino or Viejas outlets maybe? Canyon Raceway is this old fashioned place. A ticket hut, a few bleachers and the track.  The track is a "slick" track so the kids were spinning and sliding all over the place. As expected, Colin's first words after the first session, " Cara's driving suck!" FYI, his wasn't much better.

From my straight A, smart kid class, brilliant daughter as we stop at a traffic light in Mira Mesa. Did I mention seminar student?

Me: Oh, the lights are out. I wonder what's wrong?
Cara: How do you know the lights are out?
Me: Because I'm looking at them and they are not on. (did she just ask me that????)
Cara: Why are they out?
Me: Did you just ask me why they are out?
Cara: Yea
Me: How would I know why they are out. I just pulled up and saw they were out. You are the one who asked me HOW I KNOW THE LIGHTS ARE OUT?

It is what it is...
Namaste

Good news for Sean. He got to go home for a few hours today.

Another great day.  Sean is so excited about going home on Sunday even if it's only for a few hours.  Today Jesi, Jerry and Sean learned how to get him into the car.  They even did a trial run with Jesi's car.  It went really well.  Then Jerry and Jesi went home for a few hours to get the house ready for tomorrow.  They found a ramp they can use so the wheelchair can get into the house.  They even moved some furniture around to make more room.

This afternoon they all went on a long walk around the hospital and talked about how hard it might be coming back to the hospital tomorrow night after being home.  Jesi said it was a good talk and that it was really nice to have some time with Jerry and Sean without distractions.

So tomorrow is the big day, we'll find out how well everyone is prepared.  With God's help and guidance I know we will get through this.  He is the reason Sean is doing so well.  Your prayers keep us together during the trying times.  Your words of encouragement keep us focused on what's important.  I thank you for that.

God Bless
