As you might have noticed via social media, today was the first day of school. With one in college and my youngest a junior in high school, this just doesn’t mean the same that it used to. I’m trying to get myself to care but it’s not happening. To be honest, I hadn’t even thought of [...]
Fifteen years later….13 of them living with hard core autism and I still cry. You’re probably thinking “well of course, we all cry. “ No, no….not the crying at baby commercials or because you just watched a tragic news story. It’s the crying that you think I would have “overcome” by now since [...]
Met a great guy last week who likes our blog. He’s got great taste and he’s pretty funny himself. Check out his guest blog! “My Story of T” So it’s happened again and I’m wondering if there are any other men who have gone through the same experience. It started shortly after getting married. We quickly [...]

When he was in 5th grade, the school had my non-verbal son focusing on “identifying numbers 1-5”. He was also trying to identify shapes and colors. He was 11 years old and yet he was essentially functioning at a preschool level based on a psychological evaluation administered from an “expert” from our school district. That [...]
As some of you may know, I dropped my first born off at college two weeks ago. As a cruel joke that’s a pile of bullshit, I started having hot flashes THE WEEK WE DROPPED HER OFF. Honest to God, as if I wasn’t already distressed enough thinking I’m old with a college student, now [...]
I’m driving my first born to college on Friday. This Friday. Three days from now. For the past several weeks, many blog ideas have come to mind but I’ve read so many about this subject that I can’t compete. (“Top 10 things I’ll miss the most”. Yawn. “I cried at a lemonade stand”.

This happened… I just got back from a beach vacation with my family. It was great. Good weather, bonding time, blah, blah, blah..
