A Day in the Life

At this point, I’ve found that:
I’ve turned a page in my life. I no longer feel “hysterical” about my life. Maybe it’s because we have Alex on more appropriate medications than the ones that were masking the issues; in turn making the severe behavioral issues we had been experiencing, and had increased, [...]

Post image for Crossroads – To Continue or Not

I’m at a crossroads.  So many things in play.
I began General Hysteria, really, for me.  I began General Hysteria for any other special needs parents that felt alone; any parent, regardless of needs, that felt isolated, unsure.  In my haste to share this proud endeavor, I let a little leak to those around me.  I [...]

I don’t know if you had the chance to watch Parenthood Tuesday night. If you haven’t you should search the net for the series premier.
I had tears in my eyes as the initial diagnosis of Aspergers comes out. The absolute fear of the unknown. The absolute fear and devastation of [...]

Calculating my strength to hold on a little longer.
She pushes [...]

Schew.
Most holiday celebrations or at least the more stress-related ones are over. We’ve now moved into celebration of an upcoming year. Another year of hope, renewed resolutions (most of us still working on the same ones); a year to try new things…Like a recipe from the Meningioma Mommas Feeding the Mind and Soul [...]

Last year, I had my very first Cookie Exchange. Lesson learned. I’m SO winning something this year, I grabbed a cookie recipe from a friend (thank you) that’s sure to win. Or possibly I’ll win the “presentation” award, if nothing else, I’ll be appropriately dressed.
In the meantime, I am going to do [...]

I did not feed my youngest two cheese balls, oatmeal and milk for lunch one day.
I did not get understandably tired of telling Ben not to eat snow that’s been lying on the ground for the last week and a half. I did not succumb to the third child lax and decide that if [...]
