Please Stop the Ride

I’d like to get off now. Please. The last few weeks have been a ride. Both boys are now going to be getting speech therapy from the cyber school. In addition to all the other therapies. I’d like to say we could quit some, but we’ve doubled our therapy hours in the last few months… read more »

As you (hopefully) know, April is Autism Awareness Month. But around here? Well every day is really about Autism Awareness… read more »

Go Ahead, Laugh AT Me

I’ve been a tad melancholy and reflective lately, but here, laugh at me. I’m not quite over the trauma to laugh at myself quite yet, but I do appreciate what we did here that others will see the humor. In out infinite wisdom, the day before Easter, we woke up and I said, “It’s Saturday!… read more »

The Math Doesn’t Add Up

I know my blog readers are used to my being candid in my writings. My silence feels like I have stepped away from that. I feel like I just haven’t had the time. When I do sit down to write or to read other blogs these days, I tend to lean towards my list of… read more »

April began four days ago, and it’s taken me this long to write my yearly Month of the Military Child and Autism Awarenesss/Acceptance month post.

Finding My Voice Again

Hi there. It’s been awhile. I’ve wanted to write. I really have. You see, I seem to have lost my voice. I’ve been so incredibly disappointed in so many people who I’ve had dealings with, that I just didn’t know what to write anymore. You see, I’m an autism parent. It seems these days that… read more »

A Heavy Heart Uplifted

I won’t lie. I’ve been walking around with a heavy heart and a lack of faith in humanity for about a month now. It seemed like as soon as the Christmas merchandise hit the stores, people forgot all good manners and graces. Gone were, “please,” and “thank you.” Replaced instead by snip and snark. Now, I know… read more »

Status Quo

The blog has been quiet lately. I know this. We’ve been plugging along with cyber school and therapies. We’ve added OT back into Aaron’s weekly schedule. He REALLY needed that. Sure, the Ritalin helps, but it’s only really truly effective with the OT. In the same regard, the OT is only really and truly effective… read more »

New Elves are in Town

elves

I saw these elves in TJ Maxx and just had to adopt them. The poor semi creepy little things just looked so forlorn all alone in the Christmas decor. They’ve been up to some mischief, but I’ll warn you, it’s not family friendly. These elves are headed on a one way track to rehab. If… read more »
