PDD, The danger of having a bestfriend that drops his T's&B's and a Mom with a big imagination :)

So before school this morning Chris fell down and scraped up both knee's and hurt his ankle (Dyspraxia sucks!) and so we drove to school instead of walked. So Chris is in the backseat this morning and he says "Mom that's a pimple." and I can't see him because he's in the backseat and I'm thinking your way to young to have a pimple kid, so I ask " Whats a pimple Chris?" and he points to the piTBull three doors down from his friends house across the street and says "That dog there Mom he's a pimple." Hmmm...so I ask "Who told you that was a pimple?" he says "Julius said it was a pimple and that I should be careful." so I say "No Chris that's a piTBull not a piMPle." so he say "Oh I was wondering why his face looked ok he looked like a normal dog to me." at this point I'm totally cracking up and getting this picture in my head of two 8 year olds running around trying to put ZITcream on this piMPle/piTBulls face...and me cracking up is probable confusing the pore kid more so I'm trying to calm down and tell him "Yes Chris you should be careful not to go up to any dog you don't know unless Mom or Dad is with you." so he says "I know Mom I was just wondering why Julius called him a piMPLe he looked fine to me." Me cracking up again......

Just saying sometimes the day sucks because of Autism but that doesn't mean that Autism has to suck the joy out of your whole life.

Everybody knows having a child with Autism or any child with a special needs or any parent at all for that matter is not all fun and games...but surrounding yourself with only the negative ...all you will ever get is negative, all you will ever teach them is negative...are children are worth WAY more than that. We all deserve (YOU as a parent included) to see the happiness and joy in life not only the bad. I realise that there are days that its just not possible to see the joy but please wake up tomorrow and smile forget about yesterday and start over with today, see something new that you didn't see before and go with it, find the joy and your children and other people will learn from you.

Thank YOU Veterans.

Most people take it for granted when they have more then one pair of shoes..

I don't, I was very close to my great grandmother who grow up in the Ukrainian.

When I was a little girl , I was only about 6 years old she took me to her closet and asked me "How many shoes do you see" I saw like most woman, or so I thought at the time she had many shoes pairs in her closet. Then she told me "My sister she went to Siberian prison for buying shoe leather to make extra pair of boots" Then she said "I came to America when I was young girl with nothing, now I have ice box FULL of food could feed 10 family's, I have house 4 family's could live here, I go to Dr. when I am sick not just go to bed to die, I have closet FULL of shoes and nobody can tell me NO and drag me to jail!"

"Best part" ...She said and pointed all around her...."I could give all away to church or to people come to visit and nobody can tell me NO and take me to jail! and tomorrow I could go to store again buy more shoes and food and NOBODY can tell me NO and take me to jail!"



That's when I realized with my terrible shoe fetish that I'd probably be in jail right now if it wasn't for Freedom and that it doesn't matter what I have or YOU have its all about Freedom.



Thank YOU,

Veterans and to all that that stand for Freedom.

With mornings like these who need enemy's.......

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!

Rainy Day Play:)

I remember doing this when I was little......

Do you remember?

No?

So get off your butt and go play in the rain.......

IT WAS A BLAST!

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...
