(off topic) I have been re-watching the Star Trek series over the last year and a half/two years now. Because some of my perspectives have changed, I was ready to write about it on September 8th; Star Trek Day, but I got distracted and almost completely missed Star Trek Day altogether. Those of you […]
DC and Doug will be running with DC’s Unified Sports team in the Labor Day 5K on Labor Day morning. As always, he is geared up and ready to go because there may be food at the end.. And me? I will be stopping for coffee (bucket size) BEFORE we get to the race site…. […]
Knowing full well what I was in for, I took away DC’s computer privileges on Sunday evening for reasons that are not necessary for this story. He is only allowed to use his computer on the weekends. This rule stemmed from the original rule of watching his DVD’s on weekends only. As he now uses […]
Watching the third episode of the new Netflix show “Atypical” I was taken aback first by the mother not wanting to take her son to the mall because he had an issue there the last time they went and secondly, once there, actually pointing out all of the noises that I imagine would have […]
It started this with the morning application of sunscreen and insect repellent. He does not like it but he puts up with it most days. Today is a camp day, but because he works in a greenhouse during the week, the sunscreen and insect repellent is a daily chore and it begins in the spring […]

After having oral surgery and becoming VERY tired of eating soup, I went searching through my refrigerator and cabinets for some more exciting “soft food” when I came across a can of frosting in one of my cabinets. Why did I have a can of frosting? Beats me! My baking skills leave a lot to […]
We have heard (and read) about how the people who may lose Medicaid coverage from the proposed cuts, “can just go out and get a job” with an employer that provides medical coverage…. For those of us with disabled children, “getting a job” is not a solution. Many of us work and have medical coverage […]
I remember there was a point when DC was much younger that I realized that because of his autism I was coddling him a bit and doing things for him that he was really able to learn to do himself. I did understand that he had to be taught just about everything and was not […]
The red balloons are all over town today. The red balloons that DC loves to much…. It must be close to ‘Co-lation’ (Graduation) Day at the high school…. From June 2015: We may never pass this way again – Happy ‘Co-lation’ It’s that time of year when the red balloons decorate mailboxes all over town, […]
