traici is not depressed like most of the rest of us.  When she wakes up with me in the morning, her first thought is about how she wants to fix her hair and what she is going to wear.  She is filled with hope and happiness.  It is so unusual to wake up feeling like that right now so I try to stay quiet and let her think for as long as she will stay around.  I need to convince her to go shopping at Goodwill with me on Monday so that she can pick out some clothes that she likes.  Usually when she starts thinking about our "ugly" clothes she gets discouraged and goes away.



The little one held Squeaky last night but not Mr. Greensboro both during the movie and in bed.  Nightmares were not focused on the fire, but that was in there a little.   Mostly the nightmares were focused on fear of mother.  I was jumpy and woke up at every sound in surrounding apartments.  At one point, I had to convince her not to crouch between the bed and my dresser to hide because she thought "someone was coming."
