If you missed Part I, go get caught up. I’ll wait. Got it? Ok, now here’s the rest… I get home, and the house is pure chaos. The kids are so unbelievably hyper. The 5 year old won’t nap. Of course he won’t nap. His Poppy is here. We have respite here, and he loves… read more »

My Own Lucy Episode – Part I

*This ended up being long, so it’s going to be at least two parts. Saturday we had the ROTC Dining Out. It’s the first and only time I’ve been able to go since my husband has been at this school due to not having anyone to watch the boys previous years. Needless to say, I was excited… read more »

This is our side of the new house. Hopefully I’ll be back Friday with a new #SNRyanGosling.

We’re moving! Finally! You (hopefully) won’t have to hear about the leaky roof any more since housing is moving us from the leaky house to a new house. This also means everything that goes with moving and then some. We’ll have the packers and movers for two days. We’ve also been moving stuff ourselves to… read more »

I’ve seen the shock!… read more »

Why Be On The Armed Forces Committee If You Won’t Help?

It’s no secret that I’ve been helping support the Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act H.R. 2288. I mean, why wouldn’t I? I’ve got two boys on the spectrum. Finding services is sometimes a nightmare. If we were still a M-Day family, quite frankly, we’d be screwed. We know what it’s like to try… read more »

Services Prescribed vs. Services Available

Did you have a good Friday? How did you spend your afternoon? I was going to go grocery shopping. Instead, I got the mail, and checked it as I always do to toss the catalogs and junk right there at the post office. That way there’s less paper coming into our home. I came across… read more »

And The Band Plays On…

Yesterday we had the honor of attending the Congressional briefing on Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act, HR 2288. I have so many people to thank before I start for making the day a success for our family. The accessibility office at the Capitol Visitor Center for working with us, and the Capitol Police… read more »
