Welcome!
For those new to me - I ask that if you have and sense about you you just walk away. There will be lots of ASCII characters coming at you -most of them a stream of consciousness with much like one of my beloved childhood characters will feel like I am a "Bear of Little Brain." (I welcome those who are reading this to respond with who that character is) I am currently in the process of converting an old blog to this new site - so please be aware of updates coming frequently!
I want to take a moment to invite you to my take on life, otherwise often referred to as a roller coaster by civilians, but those of us drafted into this far more involved world of special needs and autism will recognize the trek as a game of whack-a-mole and nothing less will do.
On top of the unique features of my most beloved loved ones, I am currently in the enviable position of having to decide what I want to be when I grow up as life has put me into a state of ultimate transition - the loss of my parents, realization of the profound nature and absence of resources for my son as he rapidly approaches what we affectionately refer to as "the cliff" (entry to adult special needs services), late entrance to requesting support for my daughter with disabilities, while learning that I was no longer going to be given the privilege and ultimate lifestyle of eating bon-bons, watching soaps, and lunching with the girls as a stay at home Mom and wife to said special needs children.
I am in dire need of words of support from any and all who choose to offer them. So here I am. And if life has filled you with rage and you need to blow off steam by deciding to take all the pot shots at the languishing gazelle in the Serengeti who has already been partially mauled by the cheetahs as well as bits chewed upon by the those darned laughing hyenas with various pejorative curse words and negative imagery, the management asks that you use appropriate grammar and punctuation when you do so.
