| Introduction | I have three kids, Bean (7.5), Bunny (4.5) and Honey (1). Bean has CAPD and Bunny is Autism Spectrum. I try to find the silver lining & humor in my day to day to deal with the hectic therapy schedule and stress. Not to mention the emotional strain I feel from time to time. I am always looking for easier/ better ways to get things done, organize & streamline my life. I do this in hopes of carving out the most time for myself possible. Most of my time does get tied up in the mundane! I do attend college (part-time) and will graduate in 2-3 semesters with a BA in History. I help run the family business, whether its bids, ideas, scheduling or organizing. I fight for the most appropriate education for my children. Which requires tons of school meetings (PPT's), therapists, insurance squabbles, meetings with our social worker, networking, driving, patience, passion, love and time. I love blowing off steam with my mommy friends and best friends any chance I get. Lastly I love exploring new places, being spontaneous (unfortunatly w/ kids you have more fun when you are organized!) being outside, dancing etc. |
