Evil Food, Really, In More Ways Than One
A number of food chains are owned by far right-wingers who've spent significant money opposing gay rights and abortion rights and funding conservative super-PACs. See full article here July 22, 2012 | Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons
I was disgusted when I read this article yesterday. I couldn't believe anyone would have the audacity to think those of us raising children with autism are milking the system for money and resources.
WHAT money?
Please, for the love of God, someone show me the line for the money because I sure haven't found it. What I have found is fellow parents and autistic individuals who support each other (both with words of advice and support on Twitter and Facebook) and through setting up childcare co-ops and in many cases sharing therapy toys, DVDs, books, and more.
Thank you Liz for your well thought out rebuttal.

On Waking Up
Joanne is in the very slow process of waking up. It'll be another day before the medication is out of her system and she'll be able to really come to assuming that her brain decides to cooperate. Then we'll get the first glimpse of knowing what her "deficit" looks like. There is no question on a...
I am keeping you precious Joanne and your entire family in my prayers.

Boxing Gloves
Joanne is wearing white cotton boxing gloves. There is no other way to describe them. The nurses are afraid that she will go after some of the many tubes, hoses and wires that are running in and out of her body. She has also put her boxing-gloved right hand to the incision in her head a time o...
We are praying for you and your lovely wife here in Maryland. May God hold you both in his everlasting arms.

Can I tell you how damn lucky you are that she didn't flip the hell out on you?!
I write about my stepmom sometimes because she drives me up the wall and I am always soooo worried she will see it but now thanks to you I wonder if maybe she should.
Not really.

"The Gift Of Awkwardness" Keeps On Giving
Last week, I wrote a post about someone that I couldn't post on my blog. The someone? My Mother-In-Law. The topic? Her gift of a rather fancy dress for Mazzy to wear to her first birthday party. Then I did a sneaky thing. I sent the post to the bitches my new best friends at Rants From Mommyla...

An update
My chemo was a nightmare on Thursday, not the actual chemo part, that was fine. But the part before I even got my chemo was the pits. We waited and checked in as usual in the oncology center sat down and 45 min ticked by. I texted my nurse navigator and she came out right away. she went back ...

Pasta salad is one of favorite summertime foods. Perfect for hot weather for dinner by it's self or with a meal done on the grill. The nice thing about it is that you can change around what ingredients you put in it while keeping the basic recipe the same. The Ingredients 1 box of pasta (yo...
