You’ll be glad you did!


I have a lot of stuff to go through before next week’s Children’s Clothing Sale. (Last year I even found somethings that I swear might have fit me! Well maybe before I got my postpartum hips.) They don’t just take clothes, but also toys, books, strollers, etc. So I’m excited about getting rid of some stuff. We have already passed on a ton of stuff to our Hansen pals. I think Izzy might have to grow into the stuff. I kept the 2 preemie outfits that The Younger wore. The Elder was naked in the bili-lights so much after birth that I don’t think he ever wore preemies. He was closer to normal size anyway so he may not have ever worn them. Boy did I digress.

I think I’m losing my voice. The Hub says, “yeah, you’re starting to sound froggy.” I personally refer to it as my sexy voice. Sexy is much better than Froggy wouldn’t you say?
Anyhoo, I have a retreat to go to this weekend so I will probably completely lose my voice by Sunday.

Well, Happy Leap Year everyone!

I had to quote this article I was reading…

Educational Intervention

Because children with Asperger’s Syndrome may differ widely in terms of IQ and ability levels, schools should learn to individualize educational programs for these children.

Some of them may cope well in a mainstream class with additional support, while others may need to receive specialized education. In all cases, teachers should be aware of the special needs of Asperger’s children, who often need a great deal more support than first appears necessary.

…because it really helped me with why an Aspergian is considered to have “Special Needs.” So often I look at how well The Elder is doing and enjoy the normality of these moments. But then cringe at the thought of him being in a “normal” Kindergarten.

So what is the deal with herbal remedies anyway? What is the best approach to using this method with kids? Some of the stuff on there I wanted for myself! Ha!

As I told The Hub I didn’t want to get caught up in the hype of this article, but would really want to do it if I could find a trusted source.

Not a plug

The Need for Routine



This is what he was jamming to…. He has actually told me that he wants one! Hey, buddy…stand in line! I think he thinks it shakes and changes all of those colors by itself. I got a demo one from the company and he is totally enamored with it. Of course I won’t let him have it. Can’t have my boy wearing blue eyeshadow!




Here they should have had a plug. Apparently there is a quarter of a bottle of bubble bath in there.


Tulipmom, if you look closely at the first few you can see the red walls in my Master Bathroom.

And, no, I wasn’t present at the time these picture were taken. As a matter of fact, the first knowledge I had of it was when I got home after work that night and check my Reader and saw it online! I holler over to The Hub, “When did this happen?”

“Oh, about an hour ago…”

To his merit, he cleaned it up really well before I got home.
