The Fiesta in Hannah's Head

Okay, I'm still sick, but I managed to go to the DMV today to get my car tag renewed and to finally change over the title. We paid off the car in Aug and got the title in the mail in Sept, but I never made it down there to handle the paperwork. I spent a little time this AM taking care of paying bills and a little household stuff, but at least I got out of bed for a change.

Hannah's big news of the day was that she finally was able to do a back handspring on her own at gymnastics. She was awarded the title of "Gymnast of the Week" and got a sign to put out in our yard announcing this. She was very proud, and rightfully so. She has been working hard since Sept.

We went out to grab something quick for dinner. I haven't been eating much so we just shared something before heading home and calling it a night. I asked her how things have been going with school. Instead of just saying "fine", etc. as she has for the past 6 years, she now is giving me details about her day. I asked her how she thought the medication was working and she said how she hasn't been in trouble, etc. Finally, I asked how it made her feel and if she was okay with it. I wanted to know how she felt. She said it makes her feel "bored". I said, "what do you mean?" She said, "well, it's like there's a little man in my head and he says, 'there's nothing else to do so just shut up and listen'". I said, "what was it like before?" She said, "Before it was like there was a little Hispanic man in my head and he said 'fiesta!!! Let's have a fun party! Es muy feliz!'" My child.
