For Good

Many have left a hand print on my heart...This song fits in so many ways for me & really is just kind of how I have been feeling lately... (Elphaba): Im limited Just look at me - Im limited And just look at you You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you For both of us - now it's up to you... (Glinda): I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you... Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good (Elphaba): It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend... Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you (Glinda): Because I knew you (Both): I have been changed for good (Elphaba): And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done you blame me for (Glinda): But then, I guess we know There's blame to share (Both): And none of it seems to matter anymore (Glinda): Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood (Elphaba): Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood (Both): Who can say if I've been Changed for the better? I do believe I have been Changed for the better (Glinda): And because I knew you... (Elphaba): Because I knew you... (Both): Because I knew you... I have been changed for good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQJaZO2nfGg

Now I am starting to feel it!!

2 weeks ago my son was diagnosed with Asperger's. Now I am not having issues emotionally dealing with this, I love him no matter and will strive to make him the best him he can be!! I am currently trying to find some summer activities to get him into and to start his therapy and social work, but here in Northern IL I am finding BUPKISS!! To say that this is pissing me off/annoying me would be a good call. There are camps but they cost in the THOUSANDS for a week or two and are over 40 mins/miles away which with gas prices where they are adds hundreds more onto the cost!! I am not working and if I was he couldn't go to any of the camps anyways!! So I am thinking I will be looking for support groups for me so I can network, more then to talk about how he is and my feelings about the whole thing. I am very very luck to have a WONDERFUL child. Honestly for a child with ADHD& Asperger's he is very well behaved at home, our biggest issues are mornings & getting him to clean his bedroom!!Don't get me wrong we still have lots of work to do, but at home we just know what works. Now outside of the home he is still a wonderful child but you can see the social delays come out a lot more and the change issues. I am just getting very frustrated!! Cade is a "mild" case of Asperger's, so the special needs camps are not for him. Hopefully I can get this all worked out and set by May because that seems to be the cut off for all of these camps. Well wish me luck I am off to do more searching!!!

Super Cade!!

My amazing son will be shaving his head this sunday!! It is for a great cause and he is soo excited about it!! I am just amazed at when a little man he is becoming but yet he is still such a child at heart. He is my monkey and always will be, he is my first born! the one i worry about his heart being broken or feelings getting hurt! he is so sweet and just wants to be everyone friend!! he will play with younger kids and teach them new games when all the other "big" kids are to busy. He is my math wiz!! he can do stuff I can't even grasp, not that that is saying much I am HORRIBLE at math! He was funny and did say that no matter how much money they offer him he is keeping his eye brows!! Last year at the same St. Baldrick's Event his dad let them shave off ALL the hair on his head!!! I just wanted to share a bit about my wonderful guy!!

TOOT MY OWN HORN!!!

Oprah's Master Class... Let me just say I am LOVING this show!! I have watched Jay Z & Loren Micheal's so far and have a couple more on my DVR....I watched Loren Micheal's today and really enjoyed it. It made me remember all the memories that SNL plays a part in. For many years EVERY Saturday night was spent with my cousin Rebekah watching SNL, I miss the way that friendship use to be, because as we know we all change as we get older. I think SNL helped to form some of my sense of humor, I can be very tacky and no holds bar in my jokes. I LOVE my sense of humor and wit. That last sentence is a part of my new year, I am going to say what I like about myself and not care if others think I am being conceited or egotistical. How are we to love who we are if we are taught that speaking highly of your self is cocky, conceited or rude??? How am I to teach my kids to love themselves if they are not supposed to say what they are good at?? Why did this become a bad thing?? It took MANY years for me to take a compliment or to believe that at face value instead of just wondering what that person wanted from me. So no more of that and I challenge all of you to embrace and SAY what you love about yourself!! Hell I say brag a little if you really want...TOOT YOUR OWN HORN!!! no one else can live your life for you so why do they get a say in who you are???
