Had a busy Saturday

Stayed at my sister's house on Friday night. Saturday morning was the big DSG Holiday Party. So Lucas, Ashton, and I stayed in the city so we would not have to get up early to drive to OPKS.

Friday night, Lucas got his first haircut. Was so cute. He got to sit in a car and he loved it. He looks so grown up now.

Saturday Aunt Chris, Amira, Ashton, Lucas, and I went to the Holiday Party. These are such special occasions. The DSG is so great to all the kids. We got there early and boy it was already packed. Stood in line for breakfast. Then we stood in line for the visit with Santa. Lucas does not like Santa. Twice now he has sat on his lap and looked up and turned around and cried. Poor little guy. Such a sad face. Ashton and Amira was not scared. They smiled and each kid received a present.

There was a drawing and I could not believe it was my number 417472. When Amy said that number first I was shocked. Out of 800+ people, it was me. WOW! Received some really nice books. Some of them I don't need and I am going to find somewhere to donate them to or give them back to the DSG to pass along.
After the party, we went to visit my mom and dad. Stayed there to visit for a while. I am not sure how to explain how mom is doing. I think she just don't care and that is the biggest part of it all. She is made to feel like she don't remember a thing and that she is helpless so she just goes with it. That has to be hard for her. There is no compassion with those around her. It is almost to the point of meaness, it is so hard for me to be there and see that. I would just assume her be put in a home where she can have more interaction with others but then again, who knows if that would be any better. I wish I had the money to have a house that she could move in with me and get the help she needed. She needs to feel like she can do things even if she messes them up. She stood by us kids when we messed up things and she didn't make us feel stupid. She deserves the same.
After leaving we had to take Aunt C back to her house and pick up my truck. Had to drive back to mom's to get a trailer of windows and doors for Nate. Drove that home and then had to drive to Jeremy's.
It turned out to be a very long Saturday.
Finished part of my homework on Friday and then I had to do the rest on Sunday. I got it done, sometimes it is so hard to concentrate when Lucas is awake. These are my two new classes. Received 100% on the last two assignments for week one. Just received 100% on my week two assignment in my HUM class. I hold my breath each week hoping I am doing what I am suppose to do. I am hard on myself but I know I can do it. This is one of the hardest things I have done in my life. Glad I am doing it but it is hard.
