A few years ago I sat down and decided I wanted to blog; I thought "Oh, this will be fun and I'll be able to vent, educate and share." Then I got busy with life and haven't been on here in YEARS... I was quite surprised to find this was even still here...
So much has happened since I last posted here in 2014.... We got a service dog (Nyx), I got a minivan, I left my job in the public sector to be a full time momma, Monkey Boy was diagnosed with Autism, we went to the beach, I bought a house, Monkey Boy got a feeding tube, I bought another minivan, Monkey Boy was on life support and subsequently hospitalized six times after that for various reasons, one of my 150+ year old Cherry trees was struck by lightening and exploded- causing quite a bit of damage to my house... we went to Gatlinburg and camp over the summer. Due to Monkey Boy's health issues and the house incident I have been dealing with PTSD for the last 12 months. Shew... that was a lot of stuff in three and a half years!!
Anyhow, some of my friends have started blogging and got me thinking about how much I missed writing on a larger platform (other than my personal Facebook page) so I pulled out the old laptop and decided to start this blog up again.
Now, what to talk about??
In the past I've talked about Monkey Boy and his disorders and disabilities... I've provided resources for more information on those-- well, I don't really have it in me to constantly be the 'resource momma' anymore, it's one reason I left my job in the public sector plus, there are so many amazing blogs and Facebook pages from other Autism and special needs parents that I don't think there needs to be ONE more of them- much less from me.
I don't want to pigeonhole myself into one type of blog entry because I'm as likely to want to talk one day about loving yourself where you are at forty (yeah, I did that!) then the next I want to ramble about how I covered one of Monkey Boy's treasure trunks with old maps.
So bear with me as I try to get my blogging groove back on... in the meantime, leave me a note and let me know what you want to hear about... Keep in mind I don't talk politics or religion-- so those two are out-- but anything else is fair game!!
I will see you soon!!!
Lots of love and peace!!

Just like the title implies- it's simply the things that happen in my life- from the mundane to the exciting... (when that happens!) You are liable to read anything from the weather or what I'm going thru that week to an in-depth explanation of a strange disorder you've never heard of~~maybe I'll just get on my soapbox... Why not come visit and see what's up!!
