A Sneak Peek at the Big Birthday Present

March 7, 2009 3 comments

With my son’s birthday coming up on Tuesday, I had gotten the bright idea to make him a scrapbook that would be filled with positive things about him to help improve his self-image (both in terms of accuracy and self-esteem).  I didn’t realize how long it would take me to actually figure out how I [...]

Only Six More Days To Be Six

March 4, 2009 24 comments

This week my big project is the scrapbook I am making for Michael’s birthday. It is basically a celebration of him, with each page featuring a different letter of the alphabet and words the describe him starting with that letter. He loves the alphabet, so I think he will really like it. Anyway, I have [...]

No, it’s not a watch; it’s an Omnitrix, Silly!

February 25, 2009 9 comments

Michael has discovered a new passion: Ben 10. He has watched the whole first season and just got this Omnitrix from Target. It has little discs that you slide in and it projects images of the aliens onto the wall or ceiling. I just hope using that word doesn’t bring me people searching for weird [...]

Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

February 18, 2009 10 comments

Do you ever walk around with the feeling that things are piled up precariously around you and are going to fall over on you like an avalanche at any moment?  I think it is times like these where I don’t have a lot on my schedule and immediate to do list that all the looming [...]

It’s So Nice To Sit Upright Again!

February 14, 2009 3 comments

First of all, to anyone who has ever told me they had a migraine and I made some sort of useless sympathetic noise, please forgive me – I had no idea!! Actually, they don’t really think I had just a migraine because they was also a cough and a fever and nothing got better until [...]

People Who Think Like Me

February 4, 2009 28 comments

Monday night, Michael had his first group therapy session with the psychologist. We arrived a few minutes late, but luckily the three other boys were still in the waiting room playing with Legos. Michael was very excited to be meeting other boys who, in his words, “think like me and are my same age too.” [...]

What Makes You Happy or Sad?

February 2, 2009 17 comments

It has been meltdown city around here this weekend, with the high point being a several-minute search for Michael after he ran away from Bob in Target. (He completely refuses to accept the fact that he is supposed to stay with an adult at the store. We immediately left the store and began driving home, [...]

Getting Back to Our (Normal?) Routine

January 6, 2009 1 comment

It may sound weird, but it was so good to get back to work yesterday!  I did not work at all after Tuesday last week, so this pay period had no hours on it until I got back in the office.  Luckily, the team that is working on updating pricing is awesome, and we are [...]

Is It March 10th Yet?

January 2, 2009 4 comments

So now that we are on the second whole day of a new year, Michael feels very strongly that he cannot wait to be 7 and has been asking all day about it. Is it my birthday yet? Look at my hands – they are too big to be a six year old’s hands. When [...]

Time to Deliver the Pretzels

December 26, 2008 4 comments

Woke up this morning with a sore throat and was totally exhausted all day.  I’m hoping it is just a matter of having overdone it the last couple of days and not a relapse of my illness.  I just took some Nyquil because I have a headache and am a bit congested.  Tomorrow morning we [...]

Special Exposure Wednesday: Webkinz Edition

December 24, 2008 6 comments

Here’s Michael with his two Webkinz. He had gotten the dog (Donald) about a year ago but wasn’t really into the whole virtual playing with him thing. But now he has been introduced to it by a friend’s daughter and decided he wanted to get involved. Since his account had expired, we had to get [...]
