Morning with both Chris and I having episodes of dyspraxia at the same time...
This morning I came back home after putting Cory on the Bus and Walking (or in this case tripping) Chris to school and I just had no words to describe it.. not because it "was that bad" just because my brain was tired and it wanted to go to sleep....tying to get his mind moving and my mind moving at the same time is like trying to push a train that's run out of steam around a circular track by hand!
(Me) Oh crap how long has the alarm been going off. (hubby) for a while now. (me ) why didn't you wake me up?(hubby) because I was sleeping. (me thinking) your not the brightest bulb in the box are you!
(Me walking down the steps miss two almost fall) Great gonna be one of those days... (Me get all the way down the stairs) Crap! I forgot ta wake the kids up (Me walking up the stairs trips over step almost falls on face smacks shin) Crap! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
(Me) Cory come on Mommy's running late this morning lets get dressed for the bus! (Cory) bus bus! (Me trying to dressed drops shirt pic it up drop it again pic it up drop it..finally get it on pick up pant drop pants...) Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! What is my deal today? (Me grab Cory's cloths put am on) Come on Chris wake up!!! (Cory being surprisingly cooperative this morning at least that's something..) Cheese! (Me to keep Cory cooperative gets him a piece of cheese of course I dropped it 3 times before I got it to him!) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
(Me just now realizing that I'm totally not with it today) CHRISTOFER WAKE UP!!!!!!!! (Chris)Do I have to.... (Me) MOVE IT!
(Chris is now just sitting on the couch staring at the TV) (Me) Chris put your close on come on move it! (Chris) Can I play my games? (Me) NO GET YOUR CLOTH'S ON! (Chris finally shirt go's on he sits back down on the couch staring at the TV again) Can I watch a move? (Me) For the love of God NO! PUT YOU CLOTH'S ON! (Me now realizing that Chris is totally not with it today!)
(Me) Oh Crap its time for Cory's bus! (Me now looking for my shoes and of course can't find them! Looking closet Cory in typical Cory fashion has stolen every single one of my left shoe's so he can line them up somewhere in the house....where in the house? WHO THE HECK KNOWS! (Me) Cory honey where are my shoe's? (Cory) SHOES! (and he points to the closet! (Me) OWE!!! (hubby) Hey! I can't find my socks!!! (ME) Crap! I forgot there in the dryer hold on!!!! (Me now running Cory out to bus trip over step in bare feet stub toe ....thinking boy its chilly out here this morning....catch shirt on door almost ripe shirt going out the door!) @#$%!
One kid down one ta go!
(Me back in house again...are you supposed I didn't trip over anything, get caught on anything, or drop anything on the way in???? I am!!!!!...........Back in the house and Chris is has his shirt, pant and one sock on and is walking around in in circles around the living room! (hubby from up stairs) Did you find my socks!!!! (Me) OH FOR THE LOVE OF PETE HOLD ON! CHRIS PUT YOUR OTHER SOCK AND YOUR SHOE'S ON WE GOTTA GO! (Me thinking Patti calm down at least he can put his cloths on himself this year last year he couldn't and wishing today I could just dress him...) (Chris) Mom can I play on the computer? (hubby) Damn it I need my socks! (Me Thinking) Why don't ya look for am your damn self! (Me grab laundry basket running down the stairs actually falls on the last step this time) O.k. it's getting worse I'm not catching myself from falling anymore! (Me I get back up the stairs and Chris is on the computer playing a game everything is on but one shoe....) O.K. I forgot to tell him no this time....... CHRIS GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND PUT YOUR OTHER SHOE ON!!!! (hubby) I NEED MY SOCKS!! (Me Thinking) Ya I'm gonna shove these socks up where the sun don't shine any second now!...and why did I agree to get a house with this many stairs?
(Me after sock delivery ........now back on my shoe hunt so I can walk Chris to school hoping I don't kill myself tripping over my feet doing it!) (hubby) WHY ARE ALL YOUR LEFT SHOE'S LINED UP IN THE BATH TUBE!?!?! (Me being sarcastic) BECAUSE I FELT LIKE GIVING THEM A BATH!!!

My Dyspraxia Prayer....
I used to cry out in anger and pain and question the Lord above....
I didn't know why I have this Lord please help me understand why this thing called Dyspraxia holds me in its gripping hand....
I need your help Lord I'm begging you please tell why you have me fall and drag me to my knee's...
Why I can't run like all others do ...
Why I can't talk sometimes when I really want too...
Why all the other kids can spell and wright things I just can't even when I try with all my might....
Why do they tease me Lord for what I try so very hard too do.....
Forgive me Lord for questioning you I but I just don't understand....
Why I want to cry all the time and hide....
Then one day you gave me the most precious gift of all you handed me this life Lord you put him in my hands....
And as he grow I came to understand Lord this child is just like me....
Why must you make him struggle Lord and drag him to his knee's...
So I fought and fought to for him so he didn't have to be like me and struggle so fiercely....
And now I know Lord he will be stronger and do better then I ever did...
He's my knight in shining armor he's such an awesome kid.........
Now I say think you Lord I finally understand no one would have fought for him as fearsly as I did....
Now when I fall I dust off my pants and know Lord that you stand by my side....
Thank you Lord for my Dyspraxia so my son doesn't have to hide...

What is Dyspraxia?
People have been asking me what is Dyspraxia?
So I've been sending them video's from you tube of other people with Dyspraxia and trying to thing how could I explain it myself.
I can't really tell you everything about Dyspraxia it is a neurologically based motor planning disorder and everybody’s symptoms are different because everyone is different and uses their brain differently. Dyspraxia which in the US can also be called apraxia frequently coexists with one or more other diagnosis or symptoms such as Autism, ADHD, hypotonia, Sensory Integration disorder, Dyslexia,Ext.
My 5 year old son and I both have Dyspraxia and our symptoms are not the same. I’m going to explain my symptoms which are more global and multifaceted and my son’s which affected his speech early on but like me also affects his movements.
My life with dyspraxia
Some day's are awesome normal nothing bad happens and everything goes fine and then BAM! I have to think very hard about everything I do or its hard to walk because I have to think really hard about where my feet are at all time's, I’m falling down all the time, its very hard to walk up and down the steps without falling, Playing sports is nearly impossible for me because I have little or no balance~coordination (how are you going to concentrate on the ball when you have to concentrate on where your feet are going or fall down), I’m constantly dropping things (Things just seem to fly out of my hands), When I was a child it was very hard for me to do the simplest things like tying my shoe's, riding a bike, holding utensil's and pen's, because of this it has affected my handwriting and spelling and there usually just crap no matter how much I try (I do a lot of googling for words and spell check handwriting I think my brain just get tired of thinking about what my hand is doing with my pen.), I find it very hard sometimes to concentrate or focus on things even if there just simple things the littlest thing can distract me but sometime I over focus on a certain a thing or task (makes it hard to organize things I start doing something and oh I have to go do something else over here and that other thing never gets done), I appear to have sensory integration dysfunction as well as I am very sensitivity to light and certain sounds gives me migraine headaches most of the time, I think my dyspraxia may be the reason for my night blindness (I try not to drive at night it just very hard to see) ,My dyspraxia affects my speech too in that I keep getting words mixed up but I may also be affected by aphasia as I sometimes can’t find the words in my brain at all. Its very hard for me to sleep sometimes because my brain just forgets to shut down and is constantly running makes it hard to sleep when everything running though your head at once and it just won't turn off no matter how hard you try, My memory is crap (I really do forget everything my Mother says I forget everything because I'm trying so hard not to forget something),This also I think this affects my sense of direction (If someone gives me directions to somewhere I'm always getting lost I always have to have someone take me where I want to go for it to stay in my head and sometimes I forget that to!) Having been affected by the various diagnosis I have has been difficult for me. I was told by some teacher's that I was stupid (yes they did tell me this straight to my face!)because I couldn't read! (It wasn't that I couldn't read it was that as soon as they made me stand in front of the class to read my mind went blank!) when they tested me for Junior high they told my mother they where shocked because the tests showed I had a college reading level! (all my Elementary teachers had told them that I couldn't read at all!)
Dyspraxia to me feels like a flareup something I can't control its very frustrating it goes away it comes back goes away comes back. Between the dyspraxia, aphasia The information is sometimes right there in my head but I just can't access it till later almost like a computer web site shutting down to do updates! (ACCESS DENIED TRY AGAIN LATER)
There is no cure for Dyspraxia. But Dyspraxia and any coexisting diagnosis can all be helped! That's why it so important for Parent,Teacher,Doctors and anyone that comes in contact with children to educate themselves about childhood disorder's and leaning disability's to help them as soon as possible!
My son did not talk until he was 4 years old when he did talk you could not understand a word he was saying (Now he talks like crazy and most of the time I can't shut him up you can even under stand almost all of what he's saying and he's only been in speech therapy for 2 years!), these caused a excessive amount of temper tantrum's because he couldn't communicate the way he wanted to, between the age of 17 months and 3 years he was in the emergency room with stitches and broken bone's 8 time's most of the time just from tripping over his feet and running into things! His Doctor kept telling me that he would grow out of it! We went though countless hearing and eye tests the Doctor finally sent us too after I kept coming in and saying something has to be wrong he can't even walk 2 steps without falling on his face!, All the tests came up fine almost 20/20 vision and no hearing loss! Doctor's said he needs speech therapy but your insurance don't cover it! NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT EARLY INTERVENTION! No one told me I could have gotten him Speech, Occupational and Physical therapy right away ,if I had him tested with the school's Early Intervention! I finally just walked in and started talking to teachers one day they said oh yes we test kids to see if there ready for kindergarten,took a wonderful Early Intervention teacher to tell me this is what is wrong and we can help him! I didn't know any of this until I started looking things up on the computer more and not everyone has a computer or the resources to look these things up! THESE PARENTS, CHILDREN , AND ADULTS WITH DISORDER'S NEED HELP THEY NEED TO KNOW THERE IS HELP OUT THERE AND THEY ARE NO ALONE!
I hope this helps you understand a little about Dyspraxia and other learning disorders. All children are special there the only future we have! Please do not leave any of them behind and lost because your not education yourself! Please be Aware!
