Im the queen of procrastinating, so for me, everything is 'why did I wait'...lol.
IHow did I miss that was earlier this year when my son went and got married, no one knew about it and I had to find out about it through a 3rd party who was at the courthouse wedding....a week later. What???? (And no, she isnt preggo, they just did it just because).
I really am trying to keep my patience in a certain matter.......
On average Im up around 5:30am and when possible, am in bed by 9. If its a work night, unfortunately dont get to go to bed till after 11. Around 16 hours hours?

Last time you said "Wow how did I miss that" ?
There is this Egyptian themed roller coaster at Universal. And upon leaving, near the exit is an 'Egyptian' in full costume on stilts in the corner, near the statues...and as I pass, he jumps and scares me every time. You'd think I'd learn.

Can I share my little miracle first?
I have a son with autism. He has a history of behaviors that have kept him out of school for the most part, and had our entire family terrified about what in the world we were going to do as he got older. Over the last year, through the help of many wonderful people, he has now reached the point where he is in general education with an aid (who claims there is very little for her to do) and the old behaviors are very close to being completely gone.
This morning, this kid who was given no hope for success ever, was invited to an assembly because he made the Principal's List (Straight A's). I'm SO proud of him! And SO grateful and thankful... I just had to share.

Today's Question(s):

My 7 year old dd had a big project due a couple weeks ago. They had a week and a half to work on it, but we kept putting it off because we didn't think it was going to be a big deal. After all, she's only in 2nd grade!
Well, it was a big huge deal and we worked really late into the night on it the night before it was due.
2nd grade is not like it used to be!! Lesson learned. She did get an A

Bonus Question:


Last time you said "Wow how did I miss that" ?
The much needed rain that arrived last night. I'm not sure how it escaped my attention, except I was dealing with the stupid stomach flu.

Extra Credit Question:

I am really really trying to be kinder? I said something recently that made me realize I was being too judgmental. I need to pay more attention to that.

Word of the Day:
idioglossia \ id-ee-uh-GLOS-ee-uh \ , noun;
1. A private form of speech invented by one child or by children who are in close contact, as twins.
Closely related to idiolect, a dialect that is specific to one person, in that their dialect can not be narrowed down to a specific place or social class or anything, but is just particular to them.
