I always wanted to be a mom. I got my wish when my precious little boy was born. He was perfect in every way. As he grew, I compared him to other children we knew and he was taller, more handsome, his eyes were bluer, & his cheeks were rosier. He never got sick. He never complained. He was after all perfect. When people started suggesting that he might have a problem, I shrugged it off. No, I said he's just shy and an only child. When I finally realized that something was wrong, I never suspected austism. I was shocked by the diagnosis. Now, I had to go from being his mom to also being his teacher, his voice, and his advocate. It took me a long time to absorb all of this. Recently, I asked him what was good about autism and he said that the ideas stay in his head for a long time so when they do come out they are perfect and I agree they are perfect...just like him!!!

BREAK IN THE HEAT WELCOME IN SUNNY SOUTHThe last couple of days we have had a break in the excrutiating heat. It is only JUNE, can you believe it? I am dreading July and August because the heat can be stifling and the power bills are unbelievable. But, the last two days have been heavenly with temps in the 80's...almost like spring. AHHH, I wish it would last!21-Jun-08 10:16:35 BSTComments0
DISNEY WORLD ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET???My little boy has been asking to go to Disney World...what kid doesn't want to go...right? Anyway, to say that my funds are limited would be a gross understatement but I am trying to put back a little each week to take him at the end of the year. I would love to have any tips that you have for saving money. We really need to stay on site for lots of reasons but I'm more than willing to stay at the cheapest place.
