Jumping on board because I need all the inspiration I can get! I have never linked anything so I hope this works! The 2 links above are my friend's Fabulous Sunday Sayings
Here is my contribution for today:
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step foward, you're always in the same place.

All over the Place!!!
Hoooray for week 3! This post might be a bit manic, so forgive me in advance. The first thing I would like to talk about are the hard questions kids ask. There are lots of things that Aiden pays no attention to that would normally hurt a kids feelings. This can be a blessing and curse.
This week he noticed that Macie had been invited to 2 birthday parties. He said, "Mom, it's not fair, I have only been invited to one party since Kindergarten!" "And family parties don't count, Mom!""So why don't I get invitations in the mail like Macie?" He had me there. I had no response. I still don't. I just said we would go do something fun while she was at the parties. This is heartbreaking for me but I cannot fix it. Aspergers to us has been such a social struggle. When you try to force things to happen or work it can be a disaster. Things need to happen naturally, at least I think so.
So with that be said I went to my therapy, freeze pops and amazon.com and ordered some books (self-help of course). I am thinking I can read myself out of this obstacle all while enjoying a yummy freeze pops! LOL! I will let you know how this turns out.
Something else that I have been think about is... Why would anyone thrive on, wish for or want there to be something wrong with their child? We have encountered this lately. Is it an attention thing?
We are Super blessed that all 3 of our children are healthy! One of the reasons I did not talk about some of our struggles was because sudden comparisons are happening... or it's a monkey see monkey do situation! Even though I consider myself one of the luckiest moms in the world, I pray someday I will wake up without some of the struggles we have as a family. I don't want attention for any of this! I did not ask for this, and I don't wish this upon anyone else. Misery does not love company in this case. I want to help others in the same situation of course. I hope to get some help from others as well.
Hey, Guess what? I now how 11 fabulous people following my blog! When I reach 25 I will be doing a contest /give-a-way!
Here is something else I have considered doing...... I am a complete book junkie!!! My Motto is, "you can never have too many books!"
I am thinking about starting a lending library.... I have many resource books on Sensory prossessing disorder, autism/aspergers, social stories, and sooo much more!!! I would list all the books we have and lend them out. I am trying to even figure it out for out of towners!
Now that I have emptied my brain... I will leave you to enjoy this fabulous week and your Families! Stay cool!
Until Next Time,
Amy
