It's been a weird weekend. Chained to the house because of having a yard sale, and also tempering ourselves because of having money worries. It makes me feel lazy and unmotivated. We're going to go find a pool table and a beer tonight, maybe that will help.

Emma's been on anti-biotics for her teeth, the big work begins next week. She's been a champ about taking her medicine, a little whimpering when we say it's time to take it, but then it's quick and over, and there's no tears. Quite a relief since the ordeal goes on 3 times a day.

We've been doing a lot of talking this weekend about "how things are". I feel like there's been ground won and lost. What's sad is that we are so wary to let go completely because of what others have taken out of us in the past. Other people in our lives got the best of us that leaves us with very little to share with someone who deserves it. We both admit that this is the best we've ever had, and neither wants to lose it. We just have to work through the scars left by parents, children..and the past.
