In the Midst of Miracles: August 2010
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. I'm not sure where this summer went, but it certainly vanished in a FLASH! School starts in just 8 days! School supplies and clothes are bought.and we're good to go! And I'm not going to allow it to get me down this year! Maybe I need a theme song for the next few months to keep me motivated? The theme song from "Rocky" sounds motivational, doesn't it? Saturday, August 07, 2010. Let's do the twist! Jennica is a "twister." And I don't mean tornado. She is a. At age four, she twis...

In the Midst of Miracles: Its a "head-scratcher".......
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-head-scratcher.html
Tuesday, May 17, 2011. The school called and left a message on our answering machine today. Apparently, Jennica burned her finger at school today. On. A. Light. Bulb? Nowwe've had some reactions here at home to this that strike me as somewhat odd, even though I am admittedly involved in these decisions. First, we laughed. I mean seriously? If it is serious enough, she'll let us know! Ahhhbut it is what it is. I shall ponder this. And chuckle. A light bulb? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In the Midst of Miracles: September 2010
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 18, 2010. Soone might ask what does a person need that already has four kids (the youngest with SPD), 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 horse, a full-time appraisal business, a husband with a full-time career and a part-time football coaching job, and a home with large yard? If you say "happy pills" I would tend to agree. Or maybe sleep? For whatever reason, the little boy's family couldn't take her at the last minute. And Jen LOVES her! Monday, September 13, 2010. Back to the grind. Dane, #54 on the ...

In the Midst of Miracles: June 2011
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2011. The girls, now ages 7 and 8, have reached the age where spending their summer in day care is not their idea of a good time. So.we came up with a plan about February that we would hire a student this summer to care for them out of our home, with the idea that they could stay very busy with activities. The perfect summer, right? Sowhose idea was this? Tuesday, June 14, 2011. I'm running for school board. Yep.For REAL! Just sign up and say you want to run! I will have another blog up...

In the Midst of Miracles: September 2009
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Trying not to take it personal. WHY does she do that? Oh yeah.its sensory-based.oh but wait.sensory isn't real, right? Just venting.) I hope that in Jennica's liftime, her diagnosis will become "real". In any case, I had a rather odd reaction to the evaluation meeting that I didn't expect. From an intellectual level, I. What Jennica's issues are, and I address them pretty openly on a daily basis. It is what it is, right? How dare you insult my daughter! Sixteen., Part 2.

In the Midst of Miracles: November 2010
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 04, 2010. People don't tend to "get" my warnings about my daughter the first time. Or the second time. But if they spend enough time with her, they tend to eventually figure it out in a. Way Jennica's specific type of SPD tends to center around "sensory-seeking." This is crucial knowledge, and its absolutely imperative that everyone in her inner circle understand this. To clarify further, her brain tends to. The world around her. And for her to do that, she needs. After the "high" of o...

In the Midst of Miracles: October 2009
http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. I'm sure I've said this before on here, but Halloween has to be the WORST holiday for SPD children. No matter how hard we try to prepare them, make schedules, talk about the sights/sounds/feels so they know what to expect.again and again and again these children fall flat on their faces. Definitely not fine. Down deep, I knew what a disaster this was going to be. But with Jen's new 1:1, who is fantastic, I decided to butt out and let her do her job. Disaster. B...And then toni...

http://in-the-midst-of-miracles.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-running-for-school-board-yepfor-real.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. I'm running for school board. Yep.For REAL! Last week, I filed to run for school board. No joke. On November 8th, my name will be on the ballot. Right next to my opponent. And people will either vote for me. Or they will vote for him. But either way, in the next 4 3/4 months, I'm going to have a LOT of opportunities to speak my opinions about local and not-so-local school issues. Its a little mind-boggling. I mean.I'm familiar with the democratic process, right?

Monday, February 22, 2010. Http:/ www.chicksaddlery.com/page/CDS/PROD/0003/PP1010. YesI was a horse-loving child that "rode" anything that could even remotely resemble a horse. Trees.my Dad's sawhorses.the list goes on and on and on. But when I spotted this in a catalog.WOW! I'm just speechless. LMAO! Click on the lick above and enjoy! On a positive note.I guess it doesn't eat or poop? Friday, February 19, 2010. But Tiersten. Tiersten surprised me. She was interested. How did it happen? Unless I can salv...

Friday, January 29, 2010. Dane, The Mighty Wrestler. In any case, I'm posting a video of Dane from last week's meet. He medalled 4th, with all of the 1st-3rd place finishers being Seniors and qualifiers for last year's State Championship. The 1st place finisher was a teammate of Dane's, and the reigning State Champion. WAY TO GO, DANE! My son would have been one of those that would have been 5 foot 9 inches and an emaciated 130 pounds. He's scrawny enough at 152! That he and Grant will at some point have...
