This weather is GORGEOUS! We have friends from back east visiting, and our Gorgeous LA weather came out to play, just in time for their visit. A beautiful day makes you want to get up, get out, and enjoy the day. There is no room for sweatpants, or soap opera's on a day like today. You want to look your best, feel your best, and recharge. I love my east coast friends. I miss you an awful lot. Having the fabulous Leonardi brothers out for a visit, makes me even more homesick for old friends. BUT, I can say in all honesty my friends, it would take wild horses to drag me back to a Baltimore winter for good. I have gotten soft out here in LA, and I shiver when the temperature falls below 70. I light the fireplace, and bundle up in UGGS and sweaters. You would laugh at me, go on, chuckle. You can make fun of me, then go make your reservations to come out for a visit. :)
I enter this new week a little tired, but smiling. Why? No drama this weekend. We had sunshine, and sports, and cuddle time--- less the drama. Most families don't experience the intense level of emotions that the Rhodes clan does. Sure, they have the hectic life of families, perhaps some fighting, the normal mess--- perhaps a little teen hormone induced drama....but we have drama of a different kind in our house. The kind of drama caused by a brain that is shooting off crazy chemicals induced by years of trauma. When our son Victor is home, the whole world is a great big land mine. Saying the wrong thing, calling him out on behavior, or even suggesting that he not eat a 4th serving of ice cream can cause the the peace to recede, and for chaos to ensue. He is now in a boarding school for kids with emotional issues. As sad as it is that our family isn't all together--- I must admit that the peace in our household is a welcome blessing. We are learning more and more
