Default SuperMama...

In response to your questions...

You poor NZers-- you arent privy to colored rubber bands...

such a shame...

Im doing Ok. I started working again. At the healthfood section of a huge grocery store. The pay isnt that great, but I do like what I do and its necessary right now.

I hadnt worked for 5 or 6 years--- I forgot how many people escape from the the insane asylum on a daily basis... the crazies are EVERYWHERE! Not to mention the myriads of lesbians that grope eachother in front of my freezer aisle... *Whats up with that specific spot??? LOL!* (no offenses to anyone, but geesh, get a room!)

Aaron slammed my right hand in the front door a week ago-- never felt such amazingly blinding pain in my life. Thankfully the only thing really hurt was just my middle finger. The rest of the fingers were just mildly hurt. As far as I know, nothing is broken, but its definately damaged-- no feeling from the top joint up.

Sucks because Im a pianist... but Im getting around it.

I was asked to be on the Parent Advisory Board for Aaron's school! I emphatically accepted!! They wanted me for my youth and good ideas. They know I do my homework for my son and I really hope to give some good ideas that I've gleaned from here

Aaron starts RDI next month. He has been enrolled but her first session with him doesnt start till the 22nd-- when we get to do his assessment. Praise God it's covered by the school district-- RDI can be quite expensive. Our consultant is going to hook us up with the 5 hour long video that has been talked about (and passed around LOL) extensively here.

Hmmm what else is up-- I plugged Aryeh and Noah into public school this year. I was going absolutely crazy with the school materials I had and having 4 kids, one autistic, one baby, and Aryeh and Noah are really close in age-- trying to juggle all that at one time was absolutely rediculous! So we talked about it and moved them to a nearby school. They are learning WAY more than I could have taught them at this point. I did it mainly for my sanity's sake. I was having daily meltdowns because of all the stress. I wasnt loving being a mom anymore. I never had a break. Neither of us did. And the kids had no social life.

Now they are getting that much needed friend base. They had never really experienced the 'real world' till now.

By the time they're in 6th grade, we will pull them back home. There are resources in my state that use public school funding for home-schooling materials and they have a teacher to hold your hand thru it. I just want their elementary basics taken care of. When they want to take extracurriculars like band or orchestra, they are allowed to go to the schools and take those- they can't be excluded simply because they are home-schooled. So they will still see their friends.

I figured Happi was moving since I havent seen her in several days. Poor kid-- I hated moving while pg-- its no fun no matter what trimester you're in. (I moved at 8.5 months with #1 and 6 months with #3-- BLAH!)

Anyway-- its late and I need to take a shower before I go to bed.

Good to see u again. It was good to read about you and your fam!! Crack me up that you forgot your anneversary!! My parents BOTH did that one year. We were camping and they were wondering what day it was and when they checked the calendar they both busted a gut laughing. I think we celebrated their anneversary with S'mores, oreos and hot cocoa LOL!
