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...

For the first time in a LONG time, my son went to youth group last night, since he finished his homework.  I made the fatal mistake of going into the depths of the church to look for him, instead of...

So I finally get around to calling the specialist that the last counselor recommended.  I explained that I wanted to have my son tested for Aspergers.  The Dr & I seemed to be talking in circles...

Yesterday marked the 1st day of 2nd quarter at the high school.  My son decided to drop gym for 2nd & 3rd quarters & take a study hall instead (you have the freedom to spread gym out throughout your...

So we saw the 2nd therapist yesterday.  Wow!  She asked terrific questions, treated my son like a reasonable adult, treated me like I'm an intelligent, caring Mom (so important--I know I'm not an...

Well, my son & I visited the first of 2 therapists we're considering last night.  She was definitely nice; a bit talkative, but in a way that's good, since she made the session seem very...

Well, I was hoping the 6am "check to see if he's awake" thing would work.  It's not.  He was just sitting there.  Didn't put his gym clothes in his backpack (though he insisted yesterday that he...
