Green grass? Sure. We've got at least some. :)

I just read a recent blog post by Autsim Daddy (one of my favorite bloggers) and wanted to share his blog and my response on here for you guys too.  His blog is a good reminder to count our blessings. :)  We all need that reminder from time to time. :)

David isn't doing so great lately but he still has his things that I am thankful for. For isntance he's very loving and cuddly. He may not

Unschooling in a school focused world

After having a bad run with public school when I tried to send David to special ed and early intervention pre-school I joined a support group for homeschoolers of kids with Autism.  While there I learned a method of teaching they like to refer to as "unschooling" which is basically you teach the children as you go about your natural lives.  For example, I

I have my license! :)

Today has definitely been a day of miracles for me and my household. :)  I don't have long to write because we're getting ready for an appointment with David's specialist today, but I just had to share this one. :) 

First off, I had another driving lesson today which is in part significant because my instructor had recently been cancelling on me a lot.  I am disabled, but have been trying to learn how to drive with hand controls so that I could have my license again and I was hoping to have it before winter so my kids and I could still get around to the store and doctors and things like that.  Well I had only had a few lessons so far so I was starting to fear that I wouldn't be getting my license any time soon, but when he came out today I was able to show him that my practicing in between lessons has paid off for me.  He handed me the certificate of completion for the driving course! :D  All I have to do now is secure a ride to the license bureau and I will be an officially licensed driver again. :)  I have waited a long time for this day as I haven't had one since the day I started getting sick and ended up disabled and that was over 3 years ago. :)  Just goes to show that prayer, faith, and determination/unwillingness to give up truly does pay off in the end. :)

Thank-you so much Father ((hugs)) :)
