Flashback Friday

Where on earth have I found so much time to blog?

Our little "Iron Woman" has finally caught a cold. Dave got sick about a week ago, and yesterday, Avi started sneezing, over and over and over again.  She is so congested, yet her nose is running.  She is coughing almost non-stop.  My poor girl!

I have been known to have a love/hate relationship with The Institute. Mostly love though.  Well today, I can safely say....

I

LOVE,

LOVE,

LOVE,

you

Institute

program!!

I have never felt so helpless, as when we brought Avi home from the hospital.  I felt like my hands were bound together with duct tape, and I was simply made to just sit and watch her.

Those days were some of the worst.  As she would sit, I would stare. I was broken. I basically had not one tool in my belt.  I asked myself daily, "How can I fight this beast, while unarmed?"

The Institute set us free.

They gave us flight.

They have offered us all we could possibly need.

I will be forever grateful to them.

Today, Avi is missing her entire program. While I am enjoying my quasi-free time, and while I love cuddling her up all day long, I look forward to getting "The Village" back in place.

P.S. Please say a little prayer that I don't get sick too.

Thank you!
