Oh, the action around here!
Amazingly enough, my children are in a heated discussion yet again in the car. Why is it they only fight in the confined space of the car? So, here’s the tale end…
Me: I do think that baby [doll] is wonderful! You can save your money for it.

Believe it or not, I’ve added another hat to my life – Daisy Scout leader. My son has been in Cub Scouts for three years and loves it, so my daughter has been waiting patiently for her turn. I thought it would be much easier for me to be the leade...

Well, today is Samantha’s 6th birthday and we just finished a birthday breakfast at Panera. When I think back to the beginning of her life I’m amazed at how far she has come. This is our story….

Even though I work full time all year, when the kids go to school I feel like starting over. I do my resolutions in Sept rather than Jan. This year I want to concentrate on my beauty, inside and out.

Help me find Peace
For the first time I’m asking for your help in my blog. After work today, we will pack up the kids and travel to Omaha, NE. Tomorrow Samantha will do a full round of body x-rays, bone density tests, hearing, teeth, PT, OT, orth...
I like to pack a variety of finger foods for lunch. The kids only get 22 minutes and really, that's their only time to really cut up and freely talk about the latest toy. So I mix and match 3 carrot sticks, 3 grapes, 3 chunks of cheese, maybe a yo...
Nice overview time for me to read this book. Thank you.
Heather, I know many moms who will appreciate this post and I shall send it on, thank you for taking the time to write such detail! Lynne

School Review
“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
―Benjamin Franklin
Now that school has started, I wanted to recap a few things for everyone. If you want the full articles you can check out the previous blog entr...
Be still.
Being still is very hard for me. Activity is addicting. I jump from one task to another and it almost gives me a high. Checking things off a list makes me feel like I accomplished something. It also allows me to hide from myself and eve...
Being Positive
“I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning to sail my ship.”
-Louisa May Alcott
As I was sitting in the hospital one day, as happened a lot when my daughter was younger, another mom came in and we started chatting. Her daughter h...
Anti-depressants
Today is an extra personal blog. Last week I started on anti-depressants. This was a HUGE deal for me! I don’t even take aspirin. I decided to take my mental health as serious as my body health because my relationships with mysel...
Well, after a nice long holiday weekend, it is officially swimsuit time and I can hear the groans from many of you. Not only do you have to pack a billion things (just in case) for a 2 hour stint at the pool, but you need to fit into last year’s s...

FUN!
Recently we took the children to see “Night at the Museum, Battle of the Smithsonian”. It was a very good movie, I laughed as much as the kids, but I think the real story line of this kid’s movie was meant for the parents. The plot: ...

Listening
I have found that one of the hardest things for me to do is listen. Listen to myself. Listen to others. I hear loads of things, but listening requires full attention, and being a wife and mother to 2 special needs children, my ea...

The Female Brain
My notes from reading “The Female Brain” by Louann Brizendine, MD
Here are a few facts about the difference in female and male brains. Yes, there is a huge difference! I know it’s such a shock to everyone.

Hello everyone!
I have to admit, I'm new to technology, scared, but willing and wanting to learn. I love to read, watch movies (2 hour escape), match my undies to my outfit, bit OCD about organizing closets...okay the whole house, travel, playing volleyball, and getting massages. How often do I get to do those things? More now that I've changed my focus...but that is causing issues with others who were so used to me doing everything for them (hubby, other family, friends)
I have 2 special needs children : son with Asperger's and daughter with Osteogenesis Imperfecta type III (severe brittle bones). Never a dull moment in my house :) Since I've changed my life, their lives have turned for the better as well. Funny how that works.
I work full time for a bowling pro shop distributor and am writing a book for SPED moms called "Martyrdom Sucks: A Survival Guide for Moms of Special Needs Kids". It's about being a woman first, mom second....which is double hard to do when your kids have double the needs. I have an agent and am shopping for a publisher. If any of you would like to contribute your thoughts and advice to other moms, I'll gladly add it in!! By no means do I think I've got a corner market on knowledge. I fully believe in lifting the whole community to prosper.
I look forward to exchanging loves, laughs, and irks with everyone!

Amazing Women
Believe it or not, I’ve added another hat to my life – Daisy Scout leader. My son has been in Cub Scouts for three years and loves it, so my daughter has been waiting patiently for her turn. I thought it would be much easier for me to be the leader than ask another mom to adapt everything for Sami. Luckily, I have a neighbor who will be my co-leader if something happens (gee, like a break) and I can’t be there.
The good little student that I am, I’ve been reading about the Girl Scouts for the p… Continue

Sami's birthday
9-24-09
Well, today is Samantha’s 6th birthday and we just finished a birthday breakfast at Panera. When I think back to the beginning of her life I’m amazed at how far she has come. This is our story….
At my 20 week sonogram appointment, the doctor told us that the little girl inside me had very short and bowed limbs. His face, though, told me more – sorrow and regret. Something was very wrong. We were quickly referred to the specialists at St. Luke’s. (In case you’re wondering, an adult cann… Continue

Beauty
Even though I work full time all year, when the kids go to school I feel like starting over. I do my resolutions in Sept rather than Jan. This year I want to concentrate on my beauty, inside and out.
Did you know it’s estimated that French women spend one third of their salaries on beauty products and one third on lingerie? Can you imagine spending 2/3 of your salary just on yourself? What a luxury!
Well, I’ve decided that I’m going to make more conscious decisions about the time and money I s… Continue

For the first time I’m asking for your help in my blog. After work today, we will pack up the kids and travel to Omaha, NE.
