Christa & Kim’s Mental Health Weekend was a blast!
Last weekend I went away for two nights with my good friend Christa. We went down to her parents house in Easton (they gave us their house for the weekend, how nice are they?) and we ate, and talked, and laughed the whole time. We didn’t drink [...]

Sidewalk + Teeth = Trip to the Dentist

I’ll be posting about my “mental health weekend” soon. I meant to write about it today but have been a bit too busy dealing with the aftermath of a little accident the Roc had this morning.
My neighbor was watching him for me while I went to a parent interview at a school here in Delaware [...]
Packing, not a lot of Prep

I’m escaping this weekend.
I’m skipping town with my good friend Christa, who is also a mother with a 4.5 year old son on the spectrum. I cannot begin to explain how much I am looking forward to getting away, and how much it means to me that I’m going away with someone who understands this [...]
Overwhelmed

Gosh, I fee like such a downer these days. I can’t seem to write about anything positive and I’m feeling completely overwhelmed. The Roc’s behavior is spiraling and this morning he’s out of control. I feel that I’m on the verge of losing control myself. I stood in the kitchen just now and had the [...]
At the Root of the Screaming
Posted in Autism, Me, Mommy stuff, diet stuff on March 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Things got quieter at our house the last few days. Tuesday was the worst day of the screaming. The Roc went to time out over and over and over and maybe it sunk in. Who knows? Or was it the fact that I realized his diet was a bit wacky this week and that I [...]
More Screaming

What the heck is going on with my kid? Why the screaming? Why? Why? Why? I’m about ready to throw in the towel. Calgon take me away. Someone hand me a stiff drink (or a Mikes Hard Lemonade). Lock me up in a mental institution-or send me to one of those treatment centers/spas the Hollywood [...]
Social Skills + Screaming

It doesn’t seem like social skills and screaming go together right? Well, they don’t.
I’ve been trying to teach that concept to the Roc and haven’t had much luck. I’ve scheduled playdates to teach him the concept of sharing, taking turns, playing games and how to make and keep a friend but it’s not sinking in. [...]
Swimming

He’s coming along! Went under and “swam” with the kickboard without his teacher’s help!
