Day one...

SATURDAY - April 2, 2011

Well, today was quite a day to decide to write a blog...

Let me start off by saying that earlier in the week, I was informed of a Fragile X support group that met very close to us, the first Saturday of every month. Not wanting to wait until next month, we scrambled to try to find someone to watch the kids while we hopped the boarder to Royal Oak. After going through all the normal related avenues, we decided to call our sitter. (She's my son's Sunday school teacher but she's going to college a couple hours north of where we live, and she doesn't always come home on the weekends.) Thankfully, after giving her a call she was coming home, and would be delighted to come watch both of our children. (YAY).

The meeting was wonderful. It was so nice to be able to meet twenty or so other people going through the exact same things that we were going through. It was an experience like no other. I can't wait to get more involved. So there we are... sitting in the middle, and enjoying the conversation, when my husband leans over and shows me his cell phone and asks me if it's our sitter's cell phone. It was.

She was calling to inform us that the fire department was currently airing out our house because our son had thrown some plastic in the oven and turned it on and there was smoke in the house. Everything was fine, but the fire department wanted to speak to one of the home owners to let us know that our babysitter did everything right and that we were lucky to have a sitter like her (which we already knew).

So needless to say, my stomach was in knots until we finally arrived home, but everything was fine, and our sitter even said that she would be willing to come back.

One day at a time...
