Jump Rope For Heart
My oldest, Zach is doing Jump Rope For Heart through his school. He's trying to raise $50 for a t-shirt. Now here's my shameless mom plug for donations LOL. He has a website here if you'd like to make a donation. If not, that's ok too, but he asked me if I'd put it on my blog. He's very much into the raising the money for charity part and of course that's a character trait I'd like to encourage. He was so cute the day he came from school with the information. He said ...
Diagnosis: Asperger’s
For those that haven't been following along over at The Parent Support Space, we took our oldest son, Zach, to Drexel Universtiy's Autism Department to be re-evaluated earlier this month. We had taken him there two years ago because I suspected a high functioning form of autism. At that time, Zach carried a diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder with obsessive compulsive tendencies with him. The doctors at Drexel didn't think there was enough compelling evidence two years ago to change his diagnosis, but they were certainly intrigued.Two years later with no change in Zach's behaviors and the therapy for the ...
Falling Through The Cracks
I read an article today about military spouse and family member suicide. The article talks about how these rates aren't tracked by the military. The response is there's too many to track. That's appalling to me. Sure, people cite the old stigma argument. If I seek help it'll hurt my spouse's career as a soldier. We all need to get over that so those who need help can feel free to seek it without retribution. For me, my pet peeve lies with Tricare. The behavioral health coverage for families is not as good as it could be If you're a soldier with ...

Some New ReadsWhat a week! First the stomach virus from hell. Then we had Stomach Virus from Hell round 2, but thankfully only Zach was affected that time as DH and I were still recovering from round 1. Then we got this snow. Official reports say our town got 15″. We shoveled about 2 feet, so someone needs a new ruler. My fibromyalgia is fighting back against... [Read more of this review]
