Now, where did I leave the tape?

We went to meet the woman who owns the house (and who I think is her husband) and let her check us out. Apparently we cut the mustard because the Realtor called shortly after we left and it seems we’ll be getting the keys on June 1st. What’s nice is that there’s a possibility we [...]

Don’t kill me, dear Kelly

I know. I was horrible about posting last month. By the time I got five minutes of quiet time to myself, I was usually too tired to write anything at all. Too much has happened for me to catch up on so I’ll have to wipe April clean and move on. It will be like [...]

In a rather large nutshell

This is the fourth time I’ve erased and started over. Why a simple blog entry is so hard to start today is beyond me.
I’ve been really tired and depressed but I’m not sure exactly to what to attribute it. I don’t know why I think there has to be one sole cause for how I [...]

The little things

When you have a school-aged child who has social challenges like autism, you worry that they are going to become that sore thumb in class that everyone notices as really different. You don’t get to see them during the school day so you worry if kids are teasing more than they might normally (unfortunately we [...]

I’m back. Sort of.

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it. (Do I end such sentences with a question mark? It doesn’t sound right in my head to put one there because it messes with the sentence but no one ever puts the question mark lilt at the end when they say it.) I haven’t much felt like posting but [...]

You know, I’m used to the low side of bipolar disorder. The depressions are what I experience most and just last week I started coming out of what was a fairly bad one. Part of it was the stress of moving or at least it was brought on by it but either way it went [...]

Not so chatty

Not so chatty tonight. I’ll leave you with bullet points:

Iain got a haircut yesterday.
Picture day for 3 is tomorrow.
Iz’s first school picture day is tomorrow (awww).
Still not getting much done at either house.
Iain’s IEP was today and it went well. I didn’t cry.
Gracie had her apple orchard field trip today. She pronounces it “apple torture.” [...]

So is he or isn’t he?

When someone tells you that you have a child with special needs, it can be one of the hardest things to come to terms with. Your life goes from zero to 60 in one second and you’re not quite sure what happened. It takes a long time to accept that your child isn’t going to [...]

The boy and other things

Yesterday was Iain’s first mainstreamed (for lack of a better term) gymnastics class and he seems to like it so far. I think he’s just so damned proud of himself moving up a level like his sisters do. Jeff said the coach remarked that he was great because he wasn’t being chatty and was following [...]

Annie got a gun

The lens I rented arrived in the mail on Saturday. That bitch is heavy! I’ve been shooting around town and testing it to see what it can do. I’ll tell you this much — you walk around with that thing and people notice. You have to have strong arms and self confidence to wield that [...]
