Conversations with my son...
Me: Today is show-and-tell for the letter U. Do you have anything that begins with the letter U?
Elliot: I have my underwear!!
Me: PLEASE don't take off your pants to show your underwear.
(I hope he didn't try taking off his pants to show his underwear today.)

Rudy Huxtable is a wise woman...
Rudy: If boy tries to tell me he's not in love with me anymore I'm gonna say, "You're wrong sporty, you're gonna love me until I TELL you not to love me anymore!"
Vanessa: Love doesn't work that way, Rudy.
Rudy: Well it sure doesn't work your way.

memories...
One of my favorite memories was watching my grandma sing and play jump rope in her house coat in the kitchen when I was about eight. I love and miss her so much. She was my real mom. Such a wonderful woman. This memory taught me that you’re never too old to play jump rope and be a kid at heart.
Here's to 2011! (the most cliche blog post ever!)
*Going to try to let go and move on. I’m exhausted from hanging on to the past. It’s time to let go and move on. There’s nothing I can do. The past is the past. Let’s stop wasting so much energy! *The cliche, let’s get fit for the new year. Well, it’s true. I’m frumpy. Time to do something about it. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired....

Conversations with my son...
Me: Throw your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care...
Elliot: But, I DO care, mom.
Yep...
Ignore my last post…It wouldn’t be my life if things didn’t fall apart, eventually.

Long time, no post...
It’s been a while, tumblr. But, I think I want to start posting in you again.
Update: Not a lot has happened. Oh, I’m ENGAGED. I went from single to engaged pretty fast, but it’s because I fell in love with my best friend and we already new each other and kind of new it was going to happen anyway :)
Deciding on what kind of wedding to have. I think we’re leaning on Mexico...

In My Heart...
I don’t think I have ever accepted Elliot’s diagnosis of Autism. I know I talk about it openly all the time, but I know in my heart that I really haven’t accepted it. I just keep hoping it was a misdiagnosis and he’ll wake up one day and he’ll be “normal,” whatever that means. But, in these past months, he has been regressing in his behavior and going back...

Childhood things...
When I was about 12/13, I thought it be a brilliant idea to read Stephen King’s “It.” I was probably a little too young to read this. I read “Cycle of the Wolf” when I was younger, so I thought reading “It” wouldn’t be a problem for I loved horror movies. This book terrified me. I’m pretty sure I was already afraid of clowns, but this sealed...

What do poor/broke parents do with their autistic children over the summer? Everything is so expensive and unless it’s a year round preschool that will take his IEP, then we’re screwed. I just want to be able to work a real full time job and keep El’s mind active.
