World Autism Awareness Day is TODAY!

Autism, where to start.

No two children with Autism look the same, but they are all struggling with the same issues.

We are all struggling with the facts, the way society treats people and the fact there is no cure.

Our Family has been forever changed by Mason, we are better people because of Mason.

We have grown more than most in a lifetime.

Autism or no Autism, Mason is just my son.

We all have our quirks, Mason’s are pretty typical if you look at the latest statistics. One child in eighty eight children will be diagnosed this year with Autism.

You think it can’t happen to you, it can’t happen to your family and then it does.

Make yourself aware of our struggles…

Stop judging that Mom in the grocery store…

Open your eyes, and except that everyone is different.

We all have our struggles, we all reach our limits, and then have our limits pushed. We all succeed and we all grow.

No struggle is more than another…

It’s just a different struggle.

Autism effects my family.

Autism will not DEFINE my family.

Autism does not define Mason.

We will continue to fight for Mason and for every other person who is different in some way or another.

 

I think this video sums up everything that needs to be shared.

It was a Yucky Morning.

My Morning has gone like this:
*Nick left without feeding kids breaky and he left EARLY.
*The kids did NOT watch the 20 min show he put on for them they were hungry.
*I got up and puked, Morning Sickness is BAAACKK & has been for a week or so.
*I made them food while heaving and puking some more.
*Call Nick to complain and ask if he fed them anything, “a marshmellow”. Insert ::Nick laughing:: and ::Me puking:: and Nick ::laughing harder:: and then ::apologizing::
*Oh and then Carter dropped a deuce on my carpet, go to clean that up and there is Mason’s deuce in the toilet. Go downstairs to puke in the bathroom and Josh has also dropped a deuce and NO ONE FLUSHED. Why God? Why all boys?
*I then barfed in the shower, which then needed to be cleaned.
*Boys demanded more breakfast
*Josh got pissed off at me for making him get ready for school and the DS he had just picked up got chucked. -Not allowed to play in mornings anyway.

It’s been one long pukey morning.

Ugh.

It’s not always all fun and games with three boys and another on the way.

The New on Mason…

Baby A

Yesterday was a hard day, and today has been hard too. Yesterday we went for an Ultrasound to see the Twins, check on how they were doing and to confirm that they were indeed Mono Amniotic Twins. As I sat and looked at the flat screen in front of me I knew, we have lost [...]
