Woke up early this morning and was reading an older journal – and found these older posts from November 1994 and January 1995. November 19, 1994 Tomorrow is Christopher’s birthday. 4 years old! He’s got a double ear infection but is now getting better. He’s been sleeping in the daytime and stays up until [...]

Just entering the world of autism phone apps– Leave a comment
Autism Apps (page 3) – Android A while ago our speech therapist shared with us that autism applications could be found on the Apple Ipad, Ipod Touch, and Iphone. Actually drafted this much of the post a while ago, planning to come back and add a lot of links. But I haven’t had time to [...]
Overnights – Leave a comment
Actually took this picture at dusk in December, but it was a neat example of darkness outside and how I captured it with my new camera at the time. But overnight, such a peaceful time. You want everything dark, and quiet, and to sleep solidly and restfully. And you want that comfort and peace [...]
About running - Leave a comment
As the spring arrives, I have been thinking about running in various ways. I have used it as a thing to worry about – as spring comes every year, the boys would get more boisterous about escaping the house and running off (or in Chris’s case, usually walking very fast). As far as I’ve heard, [...]
Syllabi and phones — Leave a comment
(http://www.pcworld.com/article/173033/evolution_of_the_cell_phone.html First I must confess I did have to look up if the plural of syllabus was syllabi – and certainly it is. I wonder where I came about that certain bit of information in my head – I’m certainly not sure – but slightly pleased to know that was right. LOL. Since 1999 I [...]
Still reviewing all the old posts – Leave a comment
In my spare time, here and there, have been tagging and categorizing my posts back to 2003. I got to November 2005, then just found a way today to import all the comments from Livejournal! This is exciting as I just don’t get to Livejournal much anymore so this way all my comments both from [...]
Revising and tagging, and studying Leave a comment
Of course in the middle of fall semester (perhaps exactly in the middle?) and that is keeping me very busy!! I tend to do algebra at the beginning of the week mostly and biology at the end. Then I tuck transcription in usually Wed/Thurs (job due today, so nothing different there). In the few evening [...]
Priorities – Leave a comment
At first glance my priorities seem very basic, and concrete, like: Do the laundry Do dishes Get homework done Make sure kids are safe. I get up at 5 and make sure Colleen gets on her bus, then Ryan goes, and I know Gayle is getting Chris off to school. Our family team is taking [...]
Fall semester Leave a comment
When I was a little girl I remember labeling and assembling all my school supplies weeks before school started. I loved the way the notebooks and pencils looked, all new, crisp, and shiny, and the way they felt smooth and clean in my hands. To this day I still have a habit of ruffling [...]
Seems fitting to attend a great barbecue the week before school! Leave a comment
Sometimes it’s challenging to get through the summer easily trying to keep two rambunctious boys happy and safe in the heat. But all in all I think we all accomplished this this summer. We have worked as a team – Chris stays at his paternal grandparents’ still (while we await, seek, and research the appropriate [...]
