Odds and Ends

Its me again... I have been really busy this semester and have not had much time for checking my e-mails. Did anyone know the World Wide Special Olympics is going to be held in Bosie Idaho in February 2009? Well I didn't until I went to a meeting at school. I belong to the Councle for Exceptional Children and this is one of the topics addressed at the last meeting. Our chapter is going to see about getting involved with the games, even if we only sit in the stands and root the athletes on. I am… Continue

Hello Everyone

I hope everyone has had a good day. I wanted to thank everyone for their wishes. Mom has not felt like getting on the computer the last few days so I was elected (lol). Seriously, mom is doing better. However, not only is she having to deal with her health this week but my middle brother is having some problems (not the autistic one, the other one) so she has had alot to deal with as of late... I told her just to stay calm help is on the way...lol...(I am flying down there in two weeks). Anyway,… Continue

Please Say A Little Prayer For Us...

Hi Everyone,
As some of you know Diana Terry is my mom. I got a call earlier today that she is in the hospital for observation after having some chest pains. They are running some tests and will know more in the morning (I hope). Anyway, I would ask if you all could keep her in your thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. I just thought some of you might like to know why she is not getting back to you as quickly as she normally does. Thanks for your thoughts,
Melissa
On a lighter note Michael is… Continue

The Ignorence Has To STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was a bitter sweet day, at best. I had the pleasure to meet a beautiful, intelligent, and sweet five year old today. Christian is five years old and he was diagnosed (I really hate to use that word, however for lack of a better term I guess I will have to use it), anyways, his mother was informed (better choice) four months ago he has Aspergers. This was not the part however that got me upset though. The part that really got to me was the fact that after the doctor informed his mother, he… Continue

Hi, thank you for the b-day wishes.. I have had a long half month and it to do with men more then any thing.. I think I live in a soap opra.. AS AUTISM GOES>>> I was dating a man with CP but found out he was not good with Jesse so after 8 months it is over.. My husband that I left in 3/07 for cheating on me, want to give it another try.. SO my head has been very bizzy try to figer out if I could trust him or not.. and how Jesse would love to see his dad every weekend.. I will not move back in with him in the next 4 years.. my oldest will not live with his step-dad and I am buying the house I am living in and we have it all set up for Jesse and it is with in a 1/2 mile of all the schools he will go to.. (Jesse has a hard time with long bus rides) I hope every thing is going good for you and your are getting closer to your gool.. HUGS Klara

Hi Melissa - glad you are well!! Bet it was heartbreaking for you to leave Michael when you went back - but sounds like you are going to be doing such a worthwhile job!! What sort of signing do you do? I did a course on makaton signing and I loved it - i would love to do a refresher course, but there isnt any available. I only sign certain things and you forget a lot when you dont use it regularly!! Steven either uses his pes - or he can sign quite a few of his needs! He is back to school tomorrow - he is soooo ready!!! Cant wait!!! Hugs x
