When I got home last night, I could tell my husband was mad.  He didn't say anything, though, till the kids went to bed. He tried asking me "what I thought was wrong" with our son (if I knew, I...

Well, I told my husband that I scheduled an assessment for our son at the place his doctor recommended.  I figured saying it that way was the best--not asking for permission, not arguing about it,...

Well, I met with someone from the group that will test my son.  Apparently (based on info gleaned from the "intake" interview), they do a number of multi-disciplinary tests to detemine what the...

Had a cuppa coffee last night at Starbucks with a good friend of mine.  Told her about some of my woes.  It was nice to have someone listening objectively & giving me a good reality check.  Almost...

I'm in the process of getting the evaluation scheduled for my son.  However, it seems to be turning out to be a bigger, blown-up process than it probably needs to be.  All I want to know is if he...

Reflecting on boundaries.  “Mirroring” rather than “sponging”; acknowledging the facts of what is being said without defending/denying/etc.  Something I need to work on…  One thing she...

Kind of worried about proceeding with the asperger’s test.  The facility that was recommended to me says it takes 2 days.  2 whole days?  A few hours on separate days?  Will I be able to work...

Out with the old, in with the new, as they say. I don't like to make "resolutions", but would rather state my goals/hopes: - Get back in the saddle with regular exercise, water consumption & taking...

There’s a lot of good things about my Christmases.  But as with everything, it could be better.  Even I could be better, I know. I was going to post this on Facebook, but of course there are...

Another year, another Christmas.  My son made a "Christmas resolution" to have a better attitude & behavior at Christmas time.  Whether it will happen, I don't know, but his intentions are...

My son & I had another falling out (at the church, no less, but not during services!).  As usual, it upset my daughter (age 12) very much.  She wants him to go away or die, in either order.  I let...

Well, I'm feeling a little better today; actually, much better.  Boy, I was really crabby on Monday!  Probably was over-tired.  And a little pms. Have not had time to even schedule getting my son...

I'm really, really mad today.  Work has blocked Facebook, and from a business perspective, I understand why.  But I still want it. (pout) And the annoying people at work are particularly annoying...

Just a little note to wish everyone a peaceful Thanksgiving.  We're off to the in-laws & that usually goes well (I got the good end of the in-law stick!).

Yesterday was report card day.  The proof is in the pudding--my son got an F in Algebra & Art (I told him not to take art, but...), and a D- in English.  But let me say this:  he is no dummy.  He...
