    • About Me

      I am married for 19 years. My husband is an Aspie. We have four children, three of them are special needs children. Which include Aspergers, ADD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, Autism, sensory issues, seizures, Ecezma. That makes me a full time mom. Which is very taxing in a lot of ways, but I wouldn't give it up for anything. Some days are harder than others as I have fibromyalgia and Sleep Apnea and lots of Allergies. There are days that dragging myself out of bed is like moving a mountain.

      From bluesun July 27

      thanks for adding me to your list of people to pray for. i've been fighting a bad UTI infection this past week.... not sure if it caused a kidney infection or what. i've had so many kidney infections already. and the worst part is i don't really get any symptoms, just more achy. but being achy is just an every day fibro thing, so how do i know? anyways.... i gotta go to the VA today for them to get a fresh urine sample to check and see if the infection is going down. doc said when she found out i was pos for the UTI it could explain the severe back pain i was having. well, i'll let you go for now.... thanks for being there! God bless!
