School really makes for hectic mornings. I try to prepare the night before but I’m ashamed to say many nights I just don’t get things ready and then I’m scrambling to get things done in the morning.
Like many kids with autism, Adrian is very specific about what he will and won’t eat. No-no’s for [...]

No issues today so I’m over the hump of back to school stress I hope! I’m feeling much better in the emotion department. I go through small bouts of depression here and there but it’s something I’m always able to work through when it crops up every few months.
Adrian got to play with Sanura [...]

I’m in an extremely low place emotionally. It’s very very difficult for me to see Adrian grow up and know that he’s not a baby anymore. I think everyone has heard some sort of saying how it’s a good thing babies are cute or we wouldn’t want them because they’re so much work. I know [...]

One of the favorite activities that the kids do with their Daddy is rough-housing. He loves tossing them around and pretending that their punches hurt. I don’t love it so much because it gets very very loud and generally someone, always one of the girls because our boys are rough and tough, will end up [...]

Yeah I’m in a writing mood so I’m going to do an episode of “My View” from our local news.
First thing is really kind of funny. A local business had to post a sign on their front door that said “Please excuse our mess. A car drove through our building.” because a lady drove her [...]
