All couples have their dances. Ours is often dinner. There are days I don’t feel well, and there are days like yesterday, where I REALLY don’t feel well. My fibromyalgia is flaring, and quite frankly, kicking my ass. I have a migraine that wants to manifest, but sits in my right temple and my tense… read more »
School Transitions
2012
We have both boys transitioning this year. Have I mentioned that? I probably have. It’s one of the things that’s been preoccupying my mind these days. Since our oldest wasn’t diagnosed until he was 8 1/2, these are firsts all around. We have the older child transitioning to middle school. Having a child in middle… read more »
Knowledge is Power – IEPs
2012
I found this great idea while Twitter and Facebook surfing waiting for the kids to get home from school. An IEP Meme. A way for those of us who have been through the process to share. I also plan on reading posts written by others to gain ideas as both of my boys trasition into… read more »
Hibernating
2012
It’s finally snowy. It’s been rainy too. It’s cold. We’ve been sick. There’s been nothing to do but hibernate for the last two weeks. This is why I don’t have enough blog fodder for a full post. Some highlights from the last two weeks. -I harassed all of our Congressmen with emails. Senator Toomey’s office… read more »
Last Day
2012
Today is the last day of break. We’re all sufficiently tired of family time, and want a break from each other. The cough that’s been going around finally vacated my body, but has entered that of my 10yo. He sounds horrific, but have you ever tried getting a kid with sensory issues to take cough medicine? If not,… read more »
Highlights From This Week
2011
-I’m putting the best (and least self serving) link first. Rachel sings. She SINGS. How can you deny a woman willing to sing for our kids? Check out Welcome to StimCity and what Rachel wants for Christmas. -Another post on why you shouldn’t work for free. This one had me at “..form of business sluttery.”… read more »

Friday
2011
Nothing overly exciting this week. -I still sound like I have a 2 pack a day habit with this cough. -The kids are now getting it, and I thought the shenanigans were the usual full moon craziness, but it’s that plus the being sick sensory I’m going to make your day crappy stuff too. -… read more »
My Kids Aren’t Autistic. They’re Werewolves.
2011
Watch Twitter every month during the week of the full moon, and you’ll see the same trend. The autism parents are talking about how their kids have lost it. There’s regression, extra tantrums, not sleeping, high energy, you name it. In our house, the boys get particularly moody. To the point I really wish Midol… read more »
This Is How You Fix a Roof – Army Contractor Style
2011
Our roof has been leaking since August. I’m more willing to bet it’s been leaking since the May storms when we had those 5 tornadoes in the area in one night, and it just got saturated enough to come through my kitchen ceiling by August with all the rain we’d had all summer to make… read more »
