Who ordered this?

There are days when the committee just seems to be spinning.  On those days, all bets are off as to what is going to happen and who is going to take the front.  It can be entertaining and a bit odd for the people around us, depending on who takes over and when.  The Littles: Julie girl, JJ and Pun'kin are always the most entertaining from what I have been told.  When in a restaurant the alter ordering the food may not be the one to consume it.  If Georgia orders a steak medium rare because she loves meat, by the time it arrives Jewel may be out and she doesn't like meat at all.   The choice becomes either Jewel eats the food and continues the conversation she may be having or she goes back inside leaving the conversation unfinished to allow Georgia to eat what was ordered. This puts Georgia in the position of continuing a conversation she may have no idea was happening.  There are also the times when food is ordered by one of the Littles that is just not healthy. This usually comes in the form of blueberry pancakes with strawberry compote on the side.  If we are lucky there will be a protein such as eggs to go with them.  We often are not lucky in that regard.

Our friends are amazing about interacting with whoever is presenting.  They take care of the Littles without even blinking.  We have items gifted to them such as stuffies, food items they love, coloring books and other such  fun things.  All of them have evolved and mellowed over the last couple of years as they continue to live in a positive world.  The feeling of eminent doom and danger is slowing lowering and we are learning to function outside of the fight or flight reflex.  It is incredibly difficult to manage,especially when we are in the middle of it. The people in our life just remind us frequently that our world is peaceful and we are safe.
