Ahh, so many ways to look at that. I thought of that title the other day while trying to help Chris with some things. And as my mind will play with words I realized there were two ways to look at that. The first way is how when trying to plan events with Chris, I [...]

Senior year for 3 of us!! Leave a comment
RJ is in the 4th grade now and starts Wed. in his autism class, with a new teacher for the 4th and 5th grades. Hard to believe I have an older elementary school student now! Will get pictures of all three kids and post soon. Colleen is a senior! All the festivities that go along [...]
17 years ago – Colleen’s birth Leave a comment
Yes, another birthday today! Amazing how fast it all goes. Was just reviewing some entries from my journal from back then – actually 5-12-94: “First things first, I’m 2 cm dilated (as of last Friday) and am working only one more week. I’m ready to enjoy this summer off with my children. [...]
Transition to spring – Leave a comment
The Snowmen (NOT CHRISTMAS, MOM! lol – she put the Christmas bow with them – “that’s not right,” as Ryan would say). They are ready to go to the attic, all condensed and ready for their box as soon as I get it packed (Monday?) Still have two lone snowmen decs on the mantle [...]
Guilty again! Leave a comment
Yes, I’m guilty again, of not posting because: I don’t have time. I don’t have anything new to say. What I’m interested in saying really won’t interest anyone. That is really ridiculous, though, as even if no one else reads this, I read it. I do go back and look at these from [...]

We have worked as a team – Chris stays at his paternal grandparents’ still (while we await, seek, and research the appropriate [...]
birthdays with business as usual. Leave a comment
16th birthday party is all done and in the books. I think Colleen and her friends had a good time. I worked on and off the whole time, and we had a busy weekend with also taking Chris to the park with Ryan and Rog too. Rog is feeling a lot better. I actually still [...]
Trivial and important often reside together Leave a comment
As a person who has always been not so good at multi-tasking, I have had to learn to become quite good at it! The important things in my mind always are: Taking care of our children and the family’s basic needs. Roger and I getting our work done. Us getting our schoolwork done when we’re [...]
The brick wall 4 comments
Getting Chris into the placement he needs (National Deaf Academy, which will meet his psychiatric, physical, deafness, and autism needs) has proven to be quite a challenge. Chris recently underwent a med change at our local hospital due to increased agitation and other situations. However, the next step necessary to complete this med change is [...]
8 years old – thoughts Leave a comment
Technorati Tags: children As Ryan (here eating fries when we briefly stopped at the park a few weeks ago) was climbing on my lap today, I started thinking about how soon that may be getting harder for him to do. He is a tall boy, still skinny, and can still fit upon my lap even [...]
