Conversations Part 1
Originally posted 2019-03-14 11:09:14. This was a “conversation” between my son and I this morning. This is just one example of how autism is in our home. Dusty – “It’s almost the 15th.” Me – “What’s the 15th?” Dusty – “therapy appointment at 11:30” Me – “oh” Dusty – “if I go to bed early and eat burritos for dinner…” Me – “Dusty go eat your cereal” This Kid. ♀️ 15 Classes for $15 –…

Originally posted 2019-03-12 23:37:45. Today marks my first birthday without my momma. This was hard to do. I didn’t really want to celebrate it. My daughter said to me “you know she would want me to celebrate it” So I did with some wine. James was going to get me collard greens and fried flounder but the restaurant was closed by the time he got there. We didn’t realize it closed at 2pm on a…

Birthday Splash
Originally posted 2021-10-20 06:02:44. Today is my momma’s birthday. She would have been 72 years old. She never seemed that old to me. She was just my momma, always young spirited. I guess that’s maybe why I don’t necessarily “act my age” either. Being 48 years old. I mean it’s time for AARP to start sending me stuff. 🤣 I woke up early this morning… not to celebrate my momma’s birthday. I woke suddenly from…

Recognizing signs of child’s anxiety
Originally posted 2017-08-19 14:39:16. My son has anxiety. It is far more than just a bit of worry that can be soothed away with some reassuring words of encouragement. It plays a big part in his life, and it is important we take it seriously. His worries seemed to grow as he was growing up. But at the time we didn’t realize all the different behaviors we saw were driven by his anxiety. And the more…

In awe…
Originally posted 2020-04-12 08:00:10. Have you ever just looked at your spouse and just for a few seconds was in somewhat of a trance? Not because they were doing anything in particular, just because. Just because they are who they are. I sat here yesterday after we got back home just looking at my husband. After losing my mom, my bio father, my nephews he’s thankfully still here. I’m just in awe… Is our relationship…

Damn shame
Originally posted 2019-03-08 14:21:10. It is a damn shame, the amount of money we spent on two Catnapper (brand) supposed to be leather electric recliners. We needed something to ease the pressure on my spine so a recliner was the thing. The price wasn’t that much more for the electric ones so we got them. We have had these chairs a little over 3 years and you see what they are doing. We paid way…

My heart is breaking
Originally posted 2018-06-15 14:38:27. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to somehow suppress the expression on my face because Dusty is watching me like a hawk. He knows something is up. This hurts so much. I don’t know how to let go of my mother. I don’t know how to live my life without her. I don’t know how I will ever explain it to Dusty. I pray to…

Epidemic proportions
Originally posted 2017-08-06 21:29:30. If you have read my blogs in the past you are familiar with the cause of death of my brother. This hits home. My brother wasn’t actively using heroin as far as we know. I do know he was using the prescription medication, methadone. I wish things would have been different but I guess the good thing is something is being done to help, or at the very least trying to…
