Soundtrack for Life

December 27, 2012 by Alice

Tehre are lots of teen books with a music theme - and I read a lot of them because, like the teens they are aimed at, I love music, so I'm drawn to them. It's simple - but the books aren't always simple and fluffy stuff. These two are solid reads about kids trying to find their way - and making … [Read more...]

Last Friday

December 19, 2012 by Christine

The sadness has followed me around since last Friday. It's just there. I'm having a really hard time falling asleep. It's so hard to shut down mentally. I feel a little bit like I did back in that second week of September in 2001 when the world changed forever. The world has changed again. Last … [Read more...]

So what – I label my children – and so do you

November 1, 2012 by ChantelK

After writing my last post a hard pill to swallow I received a nasty response from someone (I chose not to approve it under my comments section) who accused me of degrading my children and stated that I label each and everyone of my children and don't allow them to be who they really are and if I … [Read more...]

THE HOARDER

October 4, 2012 by ChantelK

I remember years ago sitting in the waiting area of our Doctors office.  Another parent who was also waiting saw my son holding some Pokemon cards and made a comment about how her son also liked Pokemon and collected the cards as well. At that time I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy … [Read more...]

MY NEW HERO

July 21, 2012 by ChantelK

If anyone had told me a few years back that my now almost 13 year old son would be in the place he is today I seriously would have laughed in their face and probably told them where to go.  In no way shape or form did I ever think he would be able to overcome so many of the issues that plagued … [Read more...]

SHIT – MY SON IS THE BULLY!

May 17, 2012 by ChantelK

It's a known fact that two of my boys live daily with Asperger's and up until this point I have been very fortunate that we really haven't had any serious issues involving violence - until yesterday.  Yes it was my turn to be mommy of the bully.Zachary has been wanting to learn / play tennis … [Read more...]

WHY ME? When life offers more challenges than you can take.

February 20, 2012 by ChantelK

By now most of you have come to know my terror child cute 5 year old Ryley, crap by now you most likely feel as though you have come face to face with him a few times!  Actually if you did you might just turn around and run. Fast. Although he is cute as a button (no really he is) I have also … [Read more...]

WHO KNEW SOCKS COULD BE SO MUCH TROUBLE?

January 12, 2012 by ChantelK

Aside from breakfast, mornings also bring about the whole getting dressed part.  This is a serious issue with Joshua and Zachary who both have Aspergers an Autistic Developmental Disorder.  Unfortunately, sensory issues are part of the whole Aspergers package, and so because of this, … [Read more...]

Weekend Update – Activities

September 12, 2010 by Christine

For the past 3 (going on 4) years our winter has revolved around Cam's rep hockey schedule.  It can be frustrating for me because Sean coaches, which leaves me in the stands with a boy who has no interest in watching the game nor does he want to stay anywhere in the arena where I can watch. … [Read more...]
