Autastic and you?

i vanished 4 a while
collapsing into exhaustion
and accepting an autism spectrum diagnosis
not where we were planning to go...

but here we r
2 years later
less tantrums, less silence,
less sadness, less hitting,
more laughter

hours of speech therapy, ot therapy,
food therapy, wine therapy, lack of sleep
not just a regular day 4 my guy
every week has a goal
work & play
all worth it

the village helping me raise parker
is still amazing
the judgemental people have been shown
the door

kindergarten is this september
i am excited and nervous
worried about how he will do
and how i will do

our family of 2
or should i say 4
2 of us, 1 cat &
1 dog...

i wouldn't have it any
other
way.

a life changer

my favourite aunt passed away 2 hours ago with my mom & her family by her side... she called me teener she was awesome and i spent many summers with her in oregon, california and washington... she had a contagious laugh, she made me always feel like i could do no wrong it's yet another reminder of what is important in life and not to waste a minute she met parker last summer in seattle:) she has a cute grandson named sawyer i'm angry that he won't know her like i did... heaven just got a fantastic angel.

doobie down


my sister was here this weekend
her BFF turned 40 and the stories
& comments they had was straight out of SNL...

i never thought i would start to reminisce
about the old dayz but here we are
from my strawberry shortcake dolls to rolling
doobie's in my room when i was 19

and just around the corner
my 20 year grad reunion debuting this summer
i don't know if i want to go run & hide
or face the grey hair that is coming my way
and i am already noticing a few strands

WTF where did it go?
heading to phx this friday
can't wait
here's to moving on and letting go
hello juliette:)

what's the saying
when one door closes another opens?
let's hope so.

you win some, you lose some

it's been a tough couple of weeks
after a pretty fun romance
we called it quits just before christmas...
i was hoping this time it would
be it...

so onward i go
pulling my big girl undies up...

a weekend of hockey
so glad to be home
with my little guy
in bed

it's going to be
ok.

Another year...





it's been a busy year
and a good one
a lot of new beginnings
for parker...

he learned to
bike, jump off the diving board,
tried skating and can run, jump
and do circles around
me

his second skate will be today
and as this year comes to an end
i am excited for all the new
fresh starts for 2012:)
