May 18
I'm graduating.
It's happening in Louisiana. I will be having a home visit from our Deaf mentor then a trip to the nature center with a bunch of moms/kids from church then cleaning of the "storage room", which, ironically, includes cleaning up my thesis once and for stinkin' all. I just had to get over the point when mild panic would ensue when my eyes would light on a potentially important piece of paper, because I left Organized on the other side of Chaos Sea and subsequently was ravaged by the Paper Mongol Hordes. It's tough to be me, I tell ya.
I'm graduating.
I don't really want to talk about it. I'm still getting to the point where I answer cheerfully "thank you!" when a friends bid me felicitations and congratulations and where I resist the urge, mostly, to roll my eyes at myself.
Tonight, Ellis begged to be put to bed he was so tired. He then proceeded to snuggle, smother me with kisses, and sign "i love you" for the next hour as he slowly drifted to the Land of Nod.
It's a wonderful life.

That was so sweet! You can roll your eyes if you want, but I'm still saying congratulations. That's a huge accomplishment. I know how hard it can be to work long distance and with a baby at home!

Graduations are funny things. When you graduate from Kindergarten..... Yes, everybody, Jerannette had a Kindergarten graduation........... you get a cookie and your picture taken. High school is a BIG DEAL because your parents are 'done' raising you. College graduation represents more work but we (the parents) say, " Good Job, see you 'round!" and the Master's , well, we're proud of you, no doubt about it, but we're just going on with our daily lives and look forward to seeing tha piece of paper arriving in the mail for you. Maybe we ought to have watermelon cake!

This brings tears to my eyes. . .
