I probably should know better than to write a post late at night when I’m barely still awake and most of my thoughts are trending toward a rather negative vein. However, if I procrastinate (again) I’ll be posting late (again) and I’m tired of that trend, too. Just be aware there will be no sugar-coating….

Special Exposure Wednesday – He Passed The Test
Remember the self control test? Well, here he is opening presents on Christmas day: Guess you can say he passed, 🙂 Share what you managed to capture. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
I Brake for School Bells
Somehow I had the mistaken impression that the child would be happy to return to school. We had a pretty good break (stomach flus aside) and she had asked when she would get to go to school again. GET to go. I thought that was a good sign. Uh…no.
Special Exposure Wednesday – Sorry
Sorry, we’re still not back to par yet. Hope you’re not in the same boat as us, 🙂 Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you. *photo credit
The Little Things
(The moving truck arrived so there are currently giant men and 497 boxes all over my house. Jack is in a corner screaming, and the dog peed on the floor. Such is life, eh? Needless to say, I’m reposting again. I PROMISE to write new stuff next week–you know, when I can feel my legs…
Special Exposure Wednesday – Out Of Order
The holidays and school’s winter break has put us out of whack. Hopefully, we’re back to regular programming next week. Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you. *photo credit

I had my first guest post over at my personal blog last week. It is the story of a good friend who did some peer-advocacy for her son who is in first grade and has autism.
Holiday Carols Were Not Written for Us
I have to tell you, I am a huge sucker for holiday music. I love hearing it while I shop in the grocery and when I’m in the car. I dream of falling snow flakes and cozy fires. I actually know all the verses of many traditional hymns and get mad when artists don’t sing…
Don’t Over-Think! Just Do It!
With J’s ‘improvements’ rapidly sliding down hill with the more time that passes between his last IVIG treatment and the present, we’re headed back down the road of massive meltdowns. Some of these are from our own doing. Case in point: We headed to a local large store for FREE Santa photos. We left early…
Santa Visit
Usually some friend invites us to a Santa event sponsored by their employer or business and we go to that. We didn’t get any invitations this year, so I figured we could just not mention it and move along. Not so fast there. The child insisted that we needed to go – all of us – to see Santa and make sure he knew which presents to bring.
