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 »
Go Ahead, Laugh AT Me
2013
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
2013
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 »
Finding My Voice Again
2013
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
2012
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
2012
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
2012
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 »
Never Underestimate
2012
If this week has taught me anything it’s that I should never underestimate the evil genius potential of my children. We’ve been going through the re-evaluation process for the Kindergarten IEP. These evaluations hold information that no other evaluations have ever told us before. We knew our younger son was highly intelligent. There’s never been… read more »
Earworm
2012
I recently upgraded my phone, and I wasn’t able to carry over my previous ringtone. I now have an earworm that resulted from the new one, and this is also the clip that plays in my head when my phone rings. Am I dating myself? I don’t care. I’m old and I know it.
A Favorite Time of Year
2012
It’s definitely fall. Cooler temperatures have been here to stay. I love this time of year for many reasons. I can pull out my boots for one. Another is I love my sweaters. I can put on a long sweater, some tights or leggings, boots, and voila! I look put together, but I feel really… read more »
