The fine line between autism and honesty

Originally posted 2016-05-30 19:18:54. Autism… A huge broad term with a lot of variations. I have always wondered if it was just Dusty or do others have the same issues with their autistic child? Dusty has gotten to the point where he will lie about the simplest of things.  It is odd when you have someone who has the cognitive and developmental impairments like Dusty has, yet can pull the wool over your eyes on another.…

Trick or Treat

Originally posted 2019-10-07 10:57:13. Trick or treating with children can be tricky at times even when they don’t have any special needs. Doing it in this day and age carries more weight than when we (myself) were growing up. I saw this on Instagram this morning and thought I would share. So if you know anyone that could use this for their kiddos for Halloween please feel free to share. Check out the Beginning blog…

I feel stuck

Originally posted 2021-01-22 13:29:17. In full disclosure I am writing this while under the influence of Ativan…so… Why must we be so afraid of death? Why do we mourn so much over our loved ones? Is it because we really don’t know what’s on the other side? Is it because we don’t know if they are truly better off where they were, in pain?I wonder, with tears I type, I wonder. To my loved ones…

Restricted?

I have had my Linkedin account banned/restricted for what they are saying “illegal” items. It’s funny because I got those posts off of Amazon. I do not understand what I did wrong. I am at a loss of what I did wrong. I don’t post any of my Pure Romance items nor do I post anything of the category on my LinkedIn. I agreed to not “violate” their guidelines and before I could even log…

What would you do?

Originally posted 2019-09-25 19:29:23. Someone pulled on side of road next to my house while Dusty was outside with Saoirse. A friend that lives in our neighborhood, Elizabeth, called me as she passed them.  The person walked up to Dusty. I run outside and tell Dusty to come here.I ask him what the person said to him. He said the guy asked him if he wanted poop bags for the dog. I know it may…

How do you preserve something that isn’t there?

Originally posted 2016-04-23 20:30:06. Over the last 10 plus years or so I have been taking pictures in fear I won’t be able to remember things, even the most miniscule of memories. Unfortunately with a multitude of pictures comes the need for the storage. Luckily as technology has advanced we have gotten better storage capabilities for our quality images that we want to be able to see 10 years for now. Well in my case…

I did and I grew

Originally posted 2022-09-30 09:15:16. This meme is so very true. If you have read any of my posts from the very beginning you know I have done things that I wouldn’t do today. Now you know I did them to make sure my kids had the roof and lights over their heads. But now is a different time. Plus… I’m not sure my husband would approve LMAO I think we all have done things we…

Wonder

Originally posted 2018-03-15 13:39:20. Do you remember when you were growing up, going to school, playing with your neighborhood friends? Do you remember that kid that no one liked to be seen talking to? The kid that the seemingly more popular kids picked on? The kid that always seemed to be casted out of everything or everybody in school? You never saw them at school events outside the normal school day. They were always sitting by…
