This blog is going to take a new turn...

I've had a hard time lately posting because I have either been very ill or busy with my kiddos. Since my last post, my sons have been diagnosed with Autism (Aleksey) and Aspergers syndrome (Elijah). For the foreseeable future, this blog will feature mostly my trials and tribulations as a disabled mom with 2 "differently-abled" children.

Oh it is going to be one of those days?

   I certainly hope not. Today was my DH's first day back at work after his leave of absence while I was i the hospital. For some reason I cannot fathom, I have slept most of the last 48 hours and did -not- want to wake up again this morning. When I did get up and get the kids situated, it was an immediate fuss-fest. We are trying to break Aleksey of his poptart habit. Have you ever tried breaking the habit of a ritually ingrained kid? I don't suggest it.
   Somehow, I have to wake up enough to get the living room cleaned up enough for the early head start teacher and get real clothing (read: not pajamas) on the kids (even though I don't feel like getting dressed either) and then run through a whole ton of phone calls and errands. Shoot me?
