"Thass Nah-nah"

My son knows who we are (mommy, daddy and sister), but I never asked him about his "Nana". My folks were over visiting today and so I did the "who's that" game so he could say who we each were. When I pointed to my mom and asked him who she was, he said, "Thass Nah-nah!" very proudly! Yes, he's 4 years old, and he has been around my parents many, many times, but he has never called them by name. It was a true delight to hear my son say who exactly my mom was to him! He's speech delayed, so it is a GREAT accomplishment for him and a PROUD moment for us. It doesn't take much to bring a smile to my face.

On another note, I'm tired. I feel absolutely drained. I do have a tendency to exaggerate, but one of my resolutions in my adult life is to try to stop adding adjectives to make my life *colorful*. I could have said that I'm just *drained*, plain and simple, but *absolutely drained* definitely fits how I'm truly feeling right now. My mom suggested I take some iron to give me a little boost. I think I need it.

I do have a pretty big thing going on right now that I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed about. (There I go again, adding those extra adjectives). But, I've got a lot on my mind and I wish I could be more happy and excited about *it*, but I can't. I was hoping that 2007 would bring me great things, and I think it is about to, but I don't know how much I can be excited about something like this at the moment. I'll try to explain another day, when I feel like I've got a bit more energy.

Until another day...
