More Cowbell

We’ve been very busy lately and it has been a few months since I updated everyone on what is going on with C. Before I do, I want to share this… One of my very favorite Saturday Night Live skits that I recently rediscovered.(Here) Now that’s done, on with the updates. We got the results

The Fly

The other day we had a fly get into the house. For most, this would not be a big deal. Most people would just swat at it or ignore it until it leaves or dies on its own. No, we don’t like them in our house, but for three of us, they aren’t a big

Hostages

What do you think of when you hear the word hostage? Maybe you picture someone being held at gunpoint in a bank robbery or home invasion. Maybe it’s something you heard about in the news. Maybe it’s just a vague concept to you. I used to think of it as a mix of all the

We Got This

It seems like lately our focus has been on Mr. C a lot and not so much on Mr. E. It’s funny because we had such a stretch of time where we were so focused on E and how to help him and now the tables have turned. We spend our time trying to figure

A Day in the Life

I am a planner, organizer and, truth be told, a worrier. I am rarely late but I stress out when I am. I try to remain calm and hide my inclinations, and I especially try to hide the worry from my own little worry wart, Mr. E. I want to share a little story about

Failure Is Always an Option

There is a group I follow on Facebook for parents of 2E kids. The other day, a post on that page struck a chord. This mom said: “I feel like a jerk sometimes for “forgetting” that my child has a real and genuine disability. So often, I’m ready to rip out my hair and scream,

#JudgeyFace

In the past week, we have been away from home at least half the time; doctors that are too far to travel to in a day and so on. One thing of major import in my world, is that our little C is finally going to get some assessments and we are going to finally

Awareness

April is Autism Awareness Month. In fact, World Autism Awareness Day was April 2, 2016. All over the Internet, on Facebook, Pinterest and other social media sites, we are bombarded with images promoting awareness. We’re told to “Light it up Blue” for Autism. There are lots images popping up in support of autism, expressing feelings

Eye of the Tiger

Last month there was a day called: International Women’s Day. Unsure of what that even means? Don’t worry. I put trusty ol’ Wikipedia to the test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women’s_Day). Here’s what it has to say: International Women’s Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus

“Hello. It’s Me”

By now most of us are very familiar with Adele’s huge hit “Hello.” While this song is supposedly about healing old wounds from a bad breakup, I think it’s a fitting song for me, talking to my younger self. If you are not familiar with her song you can listen and watch it on YouTube
