So much harder than I thought!

I started this blog in February and I thought it would be a snap. A really good  outlet for me. But my, oh my it flopped right away! I wanted it to funny and quirkey just like our family. I was hoping to be a resource to others and get resources for myself as well.
I love blogs but having my own is going to take more effort on my part. So consider us under construction, as least until school is out for the summer. It will be my goal to make it happen.
Thanks Friends! Have a wonderful and Blessed Easter!

Amy & Family =)

Spread the word please!

I would like to reach some other asperger/ADHD parents. Please share with anyone you think might be interested in this blog. I think we can all help eachother.

Today's question: What do you do to help your kids with spelling words?

Back to routine

After a few snow days and a weekend it's time to get back to it. Hoping for a smooth start. It will feel good. What we dread most around here on a Monday is breakfast.... No one ever likes what we have.
The way we start a morning can make or break their day.

Today's Question: What is your kiddos favorite breakfast before going to school?

Happy Not Happy all at the Same time

Today is a quiet day at our house. The kids have been doing special birthday things for me.  Aiden has been very quiet today and is having a hard time articulating what is wrong. I asked him if he would like to write it down and he said it is too many things to write (sigh). I asked him if he could giving some words to help me and he gave me the tiltle of today's blog. Then he said, "sometimes I don't know what happy is"
      There is an excellent movie that gives you look at what  Aspergers is like. It's called ADAM. I have watched it many times and I cry every time.  My favorite line from the movie is... "They didn't belong there, but there they were." It is an excellent movie!

This is Happy

Today's Question is: What do you think happy is?

Am I the only One?

So I am getting the feel for the blog I think but today I am feeling very Selfish. I don't think I am the Mom of the year today. I have been short and Snappy. We have had no routine or structure today and I don't care.
  I want to throw the wii out the window and the t.v. with it. I have lost control of the limits and I can't seem to regain it. Is it the winter blues that has thrown me off my productive path? Am I allowed to have a day when my kids have seemed emtionally neglected?

What do you think? Am I the only one? Be honest I can take it.  I am not looking for a pity party but if you give me one please send wine!

And So It Goes

Many of my friends have blogs that I find interesting and helpful and so I thought why not.
I am a Mama to 3 kiddos, my oldest son is 9 and has Asperger's. This effects everyone in our house
in many ways, some good and some bad.   I am hoping this blog helps me connect with others and
hear about the journey of parenthood and where it's taking them. So feel free to share and enjoy.
But realize I am new to this so bear with me.
