Supermommie's Beautiful Life: February 2013

Thursday, February 28, 2013. What Rhymes With Comet? Last night I finished 2 finals for my classes this session, working all the way to midnight. Well, technically I turned in the last final project thing at 11:58pm. It was due by midnight. I was rushed like crazy and I really needed a break today to keep my nerves down. So this morning I got up, very excited to go to the girls' school to see Becca get her Student of the Month award. Go Becca! Cue the elevator music. I'm all for taking my kid in to the e...

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: March 2014
http://supermommiesbeautifullife.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 27, 2014. I'm tired. I'm worn out. I desperately need a break. I sit here in the waiting room at speech therapy. I took my girls to my grandmother's so they could hang out with her. I just needed quiet. Lately things with Micah have been one fight after another. We can't get through a day without a meltdown. I know what is happening, I see all the visible signs: hair growth in all those boy places, pimples, and the horrible boy smell. Still, it's hard to be his parent right now, too.

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: September 2013

Monday, September 16, 2013. Ali and the Squirrels Part 2. So it's official. My kid has ADD. I knew that. I just have a paper to prove it now. It's kind of anti-climactic, but not really. The actual diagnosis has a finality to it that makes me want to crawl up into a little ball, but then bust out and start fighting. It's a weird feeling. She's just Ali. I hate the idea of changing her, I just want to know how to adapt so that she can function better. I just don't know. Once again, waiting. She doesn't ha...

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: August 2013
http://supermommiesbeautifullife.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 13, 2013. My Kids are Going Crazy. I'm seriously frustrated as a parent right now. The school year has begun for my kids. They always start right around the first of August in their school district. Since Micah has moved up to middle school, his schedule is now different from the girls'. He started last Thursday. Middle school just got harder. This morning routine is going to need some work. I just don't know what to do. Something is wrong with my kids. Are they stressed? What do I change?

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: Entitlement and Groceries
http://supermommiesbeautifullife.blogspot.com/2014/11/entitlement-and-groceries.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2014. I discovered something about my son yesterday. He hates the attitude of entitlement in many disabled people. All that being said, you can understand his lack of patience with people who use the word "disabled" to mean that they should get away with things that don't follow the rules of polite society. He normally isn't so terribly insensitive, but I could tell that this guy was on his nerves. He came up behind us and said, "excuse me, could I go ahead of you? Now, if you kno...

Tuesday, September 16, 2014. Teenagers and Autism Stuff. It's hard to be a parent of a teenager with autism. This morning I took my son to his first period class almost 2 months into his 8th grade experience by literally carrying him on my shoulder. I put his backpack on my back and he kicked and screamed the entire way to class. All of this was because we were out of bananas and I wouldn't take him to go get one instead of taking him to school. Life isn't about the missing banana. Is he hungry? Today th...

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: July 2013
http://supermommiesbeautifullife.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 29, 2013. I Started Making Plans Again. This weekend I made a difficult decision. I have decided that instead of making my life and the lives of my children miserable by pushing through to graduate in December, I will go ahead and stretch this thing out to the Spring. I really hated doing it, but the whole decision is based on the plan thing. Well, we all know how that works out. Spring looks promising. I only have a couple of classes that I moved over there. They will be simple to d...But d...

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: January 2014
http://supermommiesbeautifullife.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 1, 2014. We are on our way back from our week-long, not-so-planned, awesome trip to Arizona that started Christmas day. Maybe I should explain a bit more about how this thing came about before I go into the details. Tony was good with it. He's usually up for my crazy ideas, and knew I needed something to feel better. We got to the resort and vacation really began. There are so many things that I am thankful for over this trip. Here are a few in no particular order. 5 The fact that my k...

Supermommie's Beautiful Life: What Autism Isn't
http://supermommiesbeautifullife.blogspot.com/2014/11/what-autism-isn.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Autism isn't an excuse to murder your kid. I complain quite a bit about my struggles, I admit that. I know that I shouldn't. Complaining doesn't fix the problem. Micah is a difficult kid, but he's my kid and I love him. I don't care if I never received a single service for him, he's still my kid and we do what we have to to raise him no matter what is thrown our way. Sometimes people don't ask for the things that they are really asking for. My son is hard to deal with. MS...
