We are better now-- Shane did a great job about doing the tasks that I had for him. We survived the grocery trip with out the DS...  He's back at school and his teacher is pleased with his behavior. She is SO great -- she knew that Shane was missing science because of his social skills group-- she spoke with the SPED team and they were happy to have her teach her WHOLE class the social skills

I wrote a post, and then it didn't get saved and posted correctly. Darn. My son had a terrible, horrible very bad melt down at school today. He hurt another student, and refused to let go of a student and ended up being restrained. I am very disappointed, and sad.  He is admitting to his mistakes and I think he is regretful. I am keeping him home tomorrow, it's grocery day for me. -- I have

I just found out that I got a bloggie award.. This award honors all of us hard-working, consistent-posting, just outside the limelight bloggers. Specifically blogs with less than 200 followers. Part of the honor is passing it along to five other bloggers that haven't hit the big time - yet.  Thanks to KDL at The Simple Life    Liebster Blog Award   Awww, shucks!  Thanks ever so much!Now that

So, Monday and Tuesday were not good days... but guess what??? Wednesday was AWESOME!  I am so very proud of my son... he had a  really good day at school and then he came home and did a school project that he really didn't want to do. :)   Our local Target is getting a Starbucks and doing some remodeling -- there are a TON of things on clearence.  Shane got a gift card for Target from Uncle Pete

I just wanted to take a bit of time to vent...  I have two lovely kids-- they are smart and sweet. And honestly most of the time~ I am so very proud of them. However-- my son has been having a challenging time recently. I have thought about giving the kid water and bread for a week... just to get him back to behaving. He's not being violent -- but he is not listening the first time, and he

I haven't been around... I have been knee deep in sewing, kids, laundry, dishes, drama, cooking and life.  I do have some new insights for this new year... --how I decide to feel about an issue can change~ how quickly I learn the lesson ---Learning something with pleasure is nice-- but sometimes it takes learning a lesson with pain, discomfort and drama to know that it was ME that needed the

 We have been busy around here lately...  Jerry and I got to have "date night" --although he had to work right after the party was over.   I have been super active as PTO president... we have had a fundraiser I think each month so far this year! Shane and Jessica have been doing well in school... a friend of ours shared her baby bunnies with Jessica. Shane did good at school and got a puzzle,

My husband only came home with pictures from his recent  hunting-camping trip... oh and a truck that needed some new U joints. This is Mt. Theilson my sister-in-law Danni and her husband have hiked/climbed this Mountain many times.   What camp looked like...  This is my Brother in law Rick... hunting-- it sure looked like sleeping to me, but Jerry and Rick assure me that he

Things have been REALLY good for our family lately, --  I have been able to get some PTO stuff done without too much drama.., Jessica loves her new teacher, Jerry has been working late-- but sleeping well... and Shane... Shane usually earns 45 minutes of video game time each day-- if he has had a good school day. After his  homework is done and then a short list of easy chores, I let him play. He

I'm not perfect.   I don't have all the answers.  Sometimes, I don't even want to do the things I must.  There are times when I wanna stay in bed all day long and pretend, I can have a day off. Housecleaning is not my skill set.  Cooking is often only when requested~otherwise you are on your own. I enjoy doing simple things for other people. I try to find the positive.  I enjoy it when something

Just a few of us around the campfire. Yes... we did eat a few....s'mores! Marty and Shane playing bumper tubes out in the water. Marty said Shane was talking the WHOLE time he was out on the tube... At the end of the day we had Shane in the tube by him self and we were going only 5mph -- it was a no wake zone... we could hear Shane SINGING while in the tube. The fun NEVER stops!  This is Mandy...

 So, I guess I need to explain a bit about this camping trip... we do it every year and --we seem to have a need to "do it better" each time. :) There is about 35 or so people that are officially family~ But we always have people come and join us-- we have foster kids, and people who plan to marry one of our crazy members! We are  a hard working bunch.   Often a small comment, or request for help

I haven't been around this blog lately... sorry...  I have been finding that Facebook is more engaging. I also have found ...thanks to my friend Jasmine... a site called Pinterest... it is SO much fun...  I am... addicted! I have also been spending time with the kids... trying to keep them busy -- trying to keep sane while answering all their questions. Man ... do these kids have questions.

The kids and I have been doing the FREE Lunch at the local park.   When Shane was little this was SO hard for us... he hated...HATED to wait in line, and getting him to eat the food was such work... (he wanted me to eat it first-- and the rules do not allow parents to eat the food ). Not to mention the time when-- he got "lost" for a while. With the help of a mom who has 5 great kids... we found

I also still have stuff that I am working on for PTO. ~ and many sewing projects that I should be working on right NOW! :0) But...

 We have had rainy and super rainy days recently~ It has been a challenge to keep the kids happy and our spirits up-- I know that we live in the Great- "Green" Northwest and that this weather is to be expected... but I'd really like some more sunshine to dry out the ground. School is almost over with and YET... I feel like it was only last week that we started back to school. This year has

every time I open my refrigerator door I see the bottle of apple cider vinegar and I think I should have a glass... ? I can't remember which side my gas tank is on in my new Tahoe.... so I used my dry erase marker  and I wrote on the clear plastic part of my instrument readout. I am learning that sometimes giving a direction to Shane... means that he needs to go and cry or whine about it in his

45 minutes of video game time, really matters to a kiddo who has SPD-- and who made it thru a Friday with no huge behavior issues.-- Sleeping most of the day so that you can work a 12 hour shift is important. Trying to get your SPD son to leave a house,  when he is distracted by a wrestling ring and a huge punching thing called Nancy--- is really tough. Being gone fishing all day and not

My son,Shane who is 8 years old has SPD... he has always had a strong aversion to having anything done to his hair--partly because  he couldn't stand the vibration or the noise near his head. So, we would manage to get a haircut in here or there and it was ALWAYS a scissor cut--.  I don't know how many stylists tried to tell us that they... "had" to use the clippers. -- Uh...no you don't have to

I haven't been blogging lately-- but I have been learning new and wondrous things~ I have learned that when I am feeling down and puny-- I should go to Walmart after 10pm on a Friday night... I will see and hear SO many things that my life will seem like perfection!  I seriously thought about taking pictures to document what "wonders" I saw... but then I didn't think I could explain to the person

Here in Oregon... Eugene that is ... we have been having rainy weather-- which is somewhat common for this area-- but we have also had hail, spots of snow and thunder storms. Even the true natives have been looking for a new more positive weather report.   The kids Jerry and I had not been on a car trip in the new Tahoe yet...  We had two nice days of weather, and I really....really wanted to get

Things at our house have been... sick busy emotional messy good getting better?  Shane went on a field trip and didn't do well at all, he ran from his teacher who -- happens to be pregnant.  He was also disrespectful with an adult in the cafeteria. I had a feeling that he was going to have some issues, but I wasn't expecting to hear that Jessica hit a first grader in the stomach, she also lied to

We are finally finished ... ah, joy!  I had some great mom's who came to help and just did the things that needed to be done... and to be honest I had two people who came just to get away from home-- those two happened to want to stir the pot  of negativity again and again.  I don't like to talk bad about

I have been sick, but I think that I may be getting healthier. Praise the LORD! This sickness has really made things difficult. I had to stay home, and when I picked up the kids I just waited in the car for them-- normally I go and talk with all the other parents and teachers. This week I have many things planned, Monday is a no school day-- Tuesday is the arrival of our Scholastic Book Fair

I like to read many different types of books-- right now I am reading Westerns.-- I used to think Westerns were So boring and for ... "old men".--  I was wrong I found out that I enjoy reading about how even the bad guys had a "code of conduct".  It got me to thinking ...America was born from people helping each other-- when they could,  how they could--. When someone had more than the rest, a

This morning I did a good deed, I drove my teenage neighbor to school. I didn't do the good deed for recognition-- I did it because she asked nicely and I was available. I don't like being late, and I don't like being in a hurry-- so I tend to follow the speed limit pretty closely. Apparently, that is not the normal for the roads I was on this morning.  It got me to thinking, do I as a believer

/http://www.groundhog.org/ This last weekend I thought I had almost beat this cold, I was wrong-- I ended up having a coughing fit that ended in puking and a sore jaw. I once again took to my bed to see if I could rest away this darn cold. I have been taking meds,vitamins, drinking lots of fluids,and trying to rest. At this point I am just trying to not get any sicker. Shane has been a bit

This is the background fabric I chose for my very first offical quilting project. I am making a crazy nine patch quilted pillow. From Emma Hardy's book Quilting in no Time. page 80  The striped material is the border that goes around the outside of the blocks.   This is all the fabric together, although I think the color in this picture is a bit off..

So, last night I got up the courage to speak at our school board meeting-- I ended up being  (miss) quoted in our local news paper http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/cityregion/25793363-41/parker-elementary-board-russell-students.csp   I ended up making a comment at the end to clarify. And apparently I had some air time on NPR also... but I can't find a link for that. I wasn't

AMEN! Church was GREAT today.... I saw a friend and missionary Sally who is home from China... trying to fill her spirit with some positive love. Shane had a GREAT interaction with one of the ladies who leads worship at church-- It was lovely to see him initiate a hug with this lady, and then have a short conversation with her that was positive and complementary.... WOW...  seriously this was

I have been learning lessons... left and right. :) I have always thought that if you have a family connection with someone then-- you relate to them in that correct relationship title.   If I have a cousin I have a cousin type of relationship--  I am now learning that this is wrong. And that I can have a relationship with someone that doesn't match the name... or title of the official

 Shane got some clothes from his cousins' -- he really liked the suit jacket... but without a shirt-- and the elastic waisted "race car" pants.  Clearly, Shane is all about how the clothes FEEL on his body! This is the ONLY picture I have of me and the Princess Georgia Peach-- She loves to sit in her Mama or Dada's lap-- and even Grandpa Hutch's lap-- but not so much for Aunt Stacey.... alas I

So, I heard back from the Dr's office~  the results were negative. So, either prayer-- really WORKS-- or I'm just a whine-er . There was no clear reason for my symptoms -- which is good news-- right? Ah, well... hopefully this is the end of the strange happenings in my body. Tomorrow ~I get to see my mom's side of the family -- there is like 30plus of us... it will be an overwhelming amount of

The vampire asked for blood, and although I know he was just doing his job, I was not excited. Jessica needs a set of blood work done and she is NOT happy.(the kidney Dr. just wants to make sure that the meds are still working and that things are as they should be.)  I had blood taken this morning and I'm not "really" happy.  However, I did convince my Dr. that I was not just complaining to hear

I am sorry I haven't been posting, I am dealing with some physical pain, hopefully I'll get some answers on Wednesday.  The kids go back to school tomorrow, but we STILL have our last Christmas party on Saturday--  we will get to meet our  Miss Georgia peach... I'll try to get some pictures up between then and now of current events... Happy New Year... and yipee the kids are back in school!

I had a wardrobe malfunction-- so we stopped by Walmart all dressed up to purchase some new better fitting nylons... we ran into people Jerry knew from high school. I never did put the new nylons on-- silly me. Jerry took this picture of me in my dress, while my feet were

COFFEE FILTERS Coffee filters ..... Who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones. 1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling. 3.

Today, Shane didn't do his best at church... and then when I asked him why he took about 20minutes to tell me. -- I told him he needed to do something for me -- so that he might be able to earn some video game time.  I thought he would complain or struggle with me about doing this-- nope... he was very happy to do this.

It was very dramatic... although hitting a another person isn't right-- using that "r" word was WAY worse, not to mention not knowing how to count in the 10 items only lane. I wish that rain drops were funding for the teachers that work SO hard for our kids. We had a PTO meeting and there just

My children are my treasure-- without them I would not be the person I am -- they have taught me many lessons-- I have tried to teach them many more lessons. But I know that I cannot be all things to all people. Therefore, my kids attend public school. Their school has some magnificent educators. The job they are doing gets harder each year, they have to teach more students with less resources

Recently we had a dear family friend take our family pictures-- we ended up with like 88 pictures! not all of them are my favorites-- but they really show our individual personalities! This is one that makes me laugh... There is a big spider that is right in front of Shane's nose... I told the kids to eat the spider and then our photographer snapped the picture!  After this picture the

Jerry said he was a Ninja pumpkin...Shane was Batman, and Jessica was little RED riding hood. Our Halloween was WAY better than I expected, we had LOVELY weather, no real rain and only a bit of sprinkles... The kids completely filled their buckets, both of the kids even got a coupon for one free no-homework day! (We happened to trick or treat at the school secretary's house!) The kids got a

Halloween-- Not my favorite holiday-- when I was a tween I got bullied and my candy taken a few times-- I enjoy making and seeing the costumes-- but the whole idea of taking the kids to strangers houses and asking for candy?  Seems VERY odd to me. Yesterday -- the weather was a bit dry... and so Jerry the kids and I got to together with a friend I know who takes LOVELY pictures and we spent an

Since you asked...here is the short story-- because it is a rather short one... ahem...Jerry and I had been dating for about 3 years-- we had purchased our house and as soon as we both had our respective debts paid off we were planning on getting married..(we were trying to be sensible...)then we found out we were pregnant...in a word yikes! So, we made a quick plan ~called a few people and got

I love giving things to others....  Yesterday, I went to a baby shower-- and I got to give away some gifts that I had spent a bunch of time and love working on.  Jessica's teacher from last year is due to have a baby girl in December, and I made her a changing pad, some burp cloths,a small baby quilt and some baby toys. It was weird and fun all at the same time.... Because I knew the mom to be,

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF GODS LOVE.. God's cake... This is about the best thing I've ever read as an explanation. Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did God have to do this to me?' Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Last night ... there was a PTO meeting-- and many things were discussed that caused a bunch of emotion. The teachers were informed that some of them may loose their jobs, or there will be more furlough days-- .All because the State of Oregons' income taxes didn't meet expectations. The federal government gave money to Oregon, but the State will not release the money because of the shortfall from

Things have been really good at our house...  We have had moments that weren't our best-- (Monday morning wasn't good, but by 10amish... things were all better!)  Meltdowns don't seem to be as emotionally draining-- or exhausting....  I keep thinking that this is the calm before the storm.... but then I think-- no... the storm WILL NOT COME.  I am really working on only focusing on the positive.

I had PT yesterday...and while waiting~ normally I sit and either read or I watch this fish... swim around and around scooping up the rocks and then redepositing the rocks in a corner. I know this fish doesn't have a bigger brain than me, but .... why does the fish keep at this task with such diligence? I tried to get a video of the fish eating the rocks and then spitting them out ... but

Shane and I went and saw Despicable Me I wasn't sure that it was going to be a good movie~ I had heard that there were somewhat violent undertones to the movie.   We saw it at the $2.00 theater for a matinee -- and also in 3D. (I was a bit annoyed that we had to pay for the 3D glasses and so the $4.00 we should of spent ended up being $7.00... grrrr) This is the second movie that we have seen in

Because both of my kids have had challenges (Jessica medically-- and Shane sensory&behaviors)

Not very often.... but sometimes I feel like this Mama Penguin--  and then other times I love my title of Mom, so much that I can't put it into words. It has been a pretty good week at our house-- Getting back into a schedule is nice-- and Shane and Jessica really love school. They have been happy to do their homework! I have been happy to tell them to DO their homework. :) I saw my PT,

I am learning that being 40 doesn't mean that you are a "know it all" -- it just means that you give the illusion that you might know some stuff... I have been learning that as much as I want  to get motivated and exercise, it is still too soon for me to be thinking about walking with my Aunt... right now I have to stay focused on using my foot and toes as I have been taught.

I only have two things that are concerning to me--  I haven't yet had much time with his new SPED teacher to see how well he responds to her directions-- I like her fine-- but it's Shane who will need to decide this.

 We went to a birthday party-- and because we know this family rather well.. I was much less worried about how Shane's social skills would be perceived. Or maybe I was hot and tired ?   Instead of going and getting Shane out of the back bedroom to watch the birthday girl unwrap her presents, I let him play all by himself... it was much more relaxing for everyone.

My daughter Jessica is a really sweet child, she doesn't need correction very often-- she is very flexible and eager to please. Today, she wasn't herself. I saw her drink milk outta the jug, I also saw her stomp her foot when I requested that she start the washing machine. And then... Right before dinner, she decided to go outside with her brother and pick blackberries-- she took the time to ask
