One in 150. . .
. . .or is it one in 166, or one in 110? Or is it the latest statistic I heard for the State of Georgia–one in 98? The end number doesn’t really matter because whatever it is, as far as my life and his is concerned, Justin is the “one.” Autism Spectrum Disorder has officially touched my family, and, [...]
2010
I have been trying to write this since Dec 30th! I wanted to give a 2010 a quick review and proper close. But I spend 90% of my life in survival mode and . . . well you can figure out the rest! So here goes . . . 2010 began on a sad note for [...]
Where I’ve been . . .
I haven’t been blogging, obviously. 2010 has made it’s mark on my family in many ways. There are great things . . . I have 4 awesome kids and one great husband, my husband has a job and we have a house and more blessings than we deserve. But, there has been a cloud. And [...]
Where would I be?
I just had the conversation with someone (Rachel ) about where I would be if I had never had kids. This was my answer (with a little added to it since I have had more time to think). I would have gone back to school for my master’s. I would most likely be a pediatric nurse [...]

I’m just not that kind of mom . . .
I try to be. You know, the kind of mom who can do little science experiments, grow things, teach her children about the circle of life. But I’m just really not good at it. At all! My latest attempt (catastrophe) at teaching my children began when Nana showed up at our house with little containers [...]
Guilt Free Friday!!
As a mother I struggle with guilt. A lot! I spend a lot of time thinking and rethinking about the decisions I’ve made as a mother. I just finished reading a book about Motherhood and guilt, and as humorous as it was there was a lot of truth in it. One of the exercises the [...]
Snobby birds
I decided to get a bird feeder. Simple enough, right? I got the feeder ($4), some special expensive seed, and the pole. I stick the pole in the ground, fill the feeder and put it on the pole. Then I waited. And waited. For 8 days I waited, and nothing. Not even a fly by. [...]
