Future Dreams
Beau won camper of the day again at school today. That’s the fifth time since June 18th! I’m so proud of him. At the very least it means he had no behaviors today. At one time I really worried that he was going to be thrown out of the private school he attends because they couldn’t handle him. My friend Tracy had to put her son in a group home and that fear is always there, circling in the back of my mind. Its things like camper of the day that really reassure me that Beau is doing well.
Its hard not to get caught up in a whirlwind of what ifs when you are a parent. I think every parent on the planet worries about what would happen to their children if something happened to them. Every parent worries about their children’s future. I worry about paying for college for Kat and Beau developing seizures during his teens. I worry that they won’t be happy in their futures. Because beyond anything that’s what I want for my children. Happiness. I know that they probably won’t go smoothly on the paths that I have in mind for them. They are individuals with their own thoughts and feelings and they will do things the way the see fit. But even if Kat gets married right out of high school and Beau goes to a group home, I want them to be happy.
At least more often than not. Please?

First Post
This is my family blog. My place to share my joys and struggles as a parent and my journey as a wife, sister, aunt, and friend. I’ve been an adult blogger for a few years now but I don’t get to talk enough about those areas of my life. Especially my kids. Who wants to talk at length about their kids on an adult blog?
So my new friends, thanks for joining me on this new adventure. I’m excited to be able to talk freely about my family and our struggles and triumphs. We swing wildly back and forth. Here is a brief introduction to my nuclear family.
Moi~ I am a stay at home mom. I also work part time from home over the internet. I am disabled, I have several mental illnesses. Let’s get that out of the way right up front. But, I try not to let that get me down.
J~ My husband works in a carpet factory. He works long hours and doesn’t make enough money for the crap he puts up with. We have been married nearly ten years (July 26th) and together nearly sixteen. I adore him.
Beau~ Beau is my nine year old son. He is my sweet little sunbeam boy. He was diagnosed with autism in 2000. He has severe autism. He likes rap music and spinning his ball. He can spin a ball on one finger! I’ll do a youtube of that sometime, its amazing.
Kat~ My little girl is six. Due to some sucky circumstances she doesn’t live with us. She is still very much a part of my life though. She likes to read and play on the computer. She also loves tag, Mother May I, and other classic run around games.
So that’s us. Let’s see where the road takes us, shall we?
