So I was thinking, draw 3 circles on a piece of paper. One inside the other, so really you have 3 cirles around each other(as pictured) The inner circle is our children, this is their culture of being a child with special needs. The middle circle is us, the parents. We’re not in the…

When Human Kindness Goes A Long Way
I’ve always been a strong believer in being kind and generous to other people. Kinda like you get what you give (although, some people still feel the need to try to wreck my day, that’s neither here nor there). There are some things that earn you an automatic gold star in my book, and this…
learning…
Learning…I’ve not written about homeschooling yet so I thought maybe this would be a good time. Homeschooling isn’t so typical for us, we have many challenges to get over. We do use therapies as part of our daily routine (even if we are still on sabbatical from professional therapies at our local hospital). We do…
How far he’s come. How far we have to go.
She wailed that B had her popcorn. Popcorn being used loosely as the container that once held popcorn kernels, gladly accepted by her at its end as an addition to her kitchen belongings….this thing that B was handling in front of her (the nerve) with an item of his already stuffed inside. To keep my…
Some Funny Times Here
I’ve mentioned before how absolutely thrilled we are that Jillian’s language is ahead of her actual age. Although, I must keep reminding my husband that she IS still 2.5 and that she will still have temper tantrums. Just as she feels she needs to be ahead of the times (except walking, I mean geez, what…
Botox Dip
My son had his Botox treatment this week. I knew about 2 weeks ago it was needed. It’s funny how that works. At first you think, is it worth it? Am I doing it for him or for me? Actually, both. I do it for him. His spasticity is so severe, he could curl into a…
What happens when Mama needs a sick day?
Something I haven’t talked much about while posting here is my own somewhat recent diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in October of 2010. Obviously, my body did not get the memo that I definitely do not have time for this. I have some pretty awesome and supportive friends (and family)…
holiday traditions…where are you???
I’d like to appoligize first. My weeks have been just flying by and I again forgot to get my post posted. Feeling like an airhead right about now! Easter is on my brain today…It’ll be here before I know it. What are your traditions? Do you do anything special for your kids? Have you made…
Reality
Reality gave me a swift kick in the butt this week. It knocked the wind out of my sails, and put a pit in my stomach. And you know…it made me feel…weird. My best friend and I were on the phone discussing the issue at hand. I was talking in circles because I didn’t want…
My Angel
I knew that my body was giving everything to this little person growing inside me. I knew my life would never be the same; that our lives would never be the same. There were no words to express the happiness I knew my belly contained. I knew that this little being was my angel; my…
