Great Mornings

Oh I love these mornings! Birds singing, coffee and the best is when my boys are happy!! I watched Dylan this morning really thinking on better choices that he can make in regards to his brother and we talked about it like buddies. I was still the parent but he is now understanding choice and consequences!! I love watching him grow like that!! Right now they are playing a game....they are squabbling, but when Jacob ran to blow his nose I had a quick chat with Dylan about problem solving and I am hearing him use those words!! So I had to type my feeling out so I remember these days...My devotions yesterday talked about BE blessed.......I am so blessed....even on the tough days :o)

Celebrate

Cell a brate good times!!!! come on!!!! lets get down and celebrate and have a good time!!!!

Dylan had a great day!!!! Wahoo!! No melt downs no telling a teacher thats shes the DEVIL and drives him crazy ( oh yes he did!) He said he stayed on green and got along with everyone and loved school today!!!!! SWEEEET Mother of pear what great news!!!

The Play

Dylan is in the play School House Rocks Jr. Friday night he did great I was so impressed. So Saturday all my (2 friends) came with their kids and well for starters I blame Thom for this whole mess b/c he gave 2 things of sugar(SERIOUSLY?!?!) to him at the movies right before.....he was a mess!! SOOO the play starts... we sat in the balcony a couple of families were laughing and they later told me Dylan was their humor ( it was done in taste and I agreed) He decided that he was SO done with this play, yawned, had his hands behind his neck, starred at ceiling,danced his own jig...bored.... singing the whole time tho, RAN OFF THE STAGE in the middle of a song and sat next to the director bc he was thirsty...WHICH she tells me later that he sat in her daughters seat so her daughter was freaking he sat there, director was looking around to find help (where was I..well I was in the balcony wanting to come down and my delicious husband told me to stop being a spaz and sit, its under control)(again Thoms fault) so she has him tight for she feared he would run off and kept telling her daughter to calm down WHILE directing the show, with one arm, the other was around Dylan.......I will be sitting front and center today....ANYWAY he gets back up there, notices that a girl needs to move a little, he tells her and she tells him and I quote "would you shut up already" EEEEEEKKKKK! well it was funny but I DID want to punch her very chubby cheeks.....in Dylans mind she was in the wrong spot and he was helping (she was).....then the boy next to him said something Dylan didn't like, so Dylan stuck out his tongue(SERIOUSLY?!?!?!) and told HIM he needs to get off the stage...its true it was time to get off but he wasn't, he soon realized oh yeah Dylans right and gets off the stage....again the balcony laughs...it was funny.....I guess....I laughed. I mean what else can you do? Its how his brain works....When it was over the balcony comes to us to tell us that Dylan made the show,,,Thom wants kill him and she said no way we love him and wants to get Dylan a gift. That is one good thing about living in a very small town. They all know Dylan and accept his quirkiness.....but they are adults, I worry about his peers.....The main character in the play, I had to hug him HUGE bc altho only in 4th grade, he has maturity of much older,,,Dylan was having a moment onstage at Fridays performance, I saw it starting I dont think the others did, I saw him turn and told Dylan its okay and calm down. He used his hands to show Dylan how to calm down. He was so sweet then carried on with his lines like it was nothing. I pulled him aside and thank him for being kind, He said Ms. Jones I have been doing this for a couple of months I know what Dylan needs, its OK, Well at least that is one peer that maybe around to help Dylan in life or at least for the moment. Did I mention Dylan has 5th disease which is in the chicken pox family....it was ITCHING on stage...I blame Thom...why? Because I can so there for I just did. Until next time.....all in a day SERIOUSLY

So this week :

Tuesday: i get a txt at 5:30 AM telling me that the teacher was sick and could I sub...I blindly txt back sure and hope she feels better, roll over and go back to sleep. Alarm goes off and I actually do my hair and face, get the boys off on time and walk into work early to get the day started . Thought it was weird the phone number didn't have her name attached...no warning bells, I see what looks like her car in the lot...No bells...The secretaries look at me and I said I'm Tammy today didn't anybody tell you,,,nope,,,no warning bells, they never are in the loop,,,,,go to her room and I see her purse,,,,mmmm little bells but still not getting it....see my boss she says Tammy is here...WEIRD,,,,see Tammy and she said nope didn't call/txt me so I then realize that a poor teacher somewhere out there in KY is sick and thinks that her sub has it under control since I txt her back saying it was under control...ooops so I call her to let her know of this huge mistake. She sounds like death..poor thing. how strange that off all the numbers this teacher could of messed up she got me, a sub, only in my life....
On Wednesday? My nice neighbor ( I have a scorpion one too, but she will be another story) came over, we were talking at the door when this...this...noise from my Shepard mix dog came over the air. I look down to see that my cat is safe ( Honey the dog has tried to kill it twice) and I am thinking what the cracker is Honey doing is she having a stroke. We run into the kitchen and to my horror (and my neighbors too) her sweet little pug had snuck in my house and wanted to share Honeys food...well Honey is a Bitch and she does NOT share and had the scruff of the pugs neck shaking her brains out. I start screaming , which set Dylan off, grab Honeys mouth and start to pry her mouth open. In that moment the poor pug was snapping for his life and nailed my leg...didn't feel it then, but oh baby I should of taken a picture. HUGE BRUISE!!! Finally Honey releases and we all run out to the front porch to get some fresh air!!! Luckily the Pug is OK his feelings were hurt but no holes!
Thursdy: Ok for all you haters that have wanting me to get fat...well here's a story you haters...I am in a Boot Camp here and have 7 people in it with me...I have to hide my problem areas because I will get egged if I complain. They give me a hard time and threaten to put protein powder in everything I eat so I get fat...well pppbbbbth on them ( I do love them, they are like sisters to me) I am going to look like Barbie again you wait and see powder puffers....I weighed 131 (shut up I know I am skinny) and I thought with all my healthy eating and working out I felt I could be at least a 127 lb. so they all went to get surmised.....they lost weight doing good and then me the princes gets on the weigh thingy pretending to be humble and cool .....OMGsh WHAT THE CHICKEN POX!!! I gained FOUR POUNDS!! I hate you all!
Friday: I get a call in my room that my boys school is on the line, this happens quit a bit and this time I said I have slipped into a coma and I refuse to take the call, well crap they made me take the call and it was the nurse.....Dylan has 5ths disease,,,,,scratching and going crazy. They said its no longer contagious and no fever just wanted me to now...GREAT thanks for letting me know (grumble grumble) and call me if he gets out of hand...well crap if it wasn't 10 minuets later that the teacher calls me and well he is having a meltdown,,,sooooo me being the most awesome mom ever with a bad attitude runs to CVS the biggest rip off store ever to get Benedryl and pick up my son. Well....he is also in a play Fri-Sunday and this is his first night and I am thinking great bring the camera! My son ladies and gents did AMAZING!!!! I cant wait to figure out how to upload all this and let you see. He did well even with the itches!!!

Dylan 3.13.10

That can't be my son...that's is actually what I thought today watching my 9 year old instead of sitting on the floor with the rest of his class, chose to crawl all over the rows of kids. The Principal, whom I adore, kindly walks over and rubs his back to remind him to sit still...I want to go over and say "Boy if you move again I am taking your DS for a week, DON"T MOVE". He has them snowed....at least that is how I feel...he would be have if they would be more firm.... They just had a mini concert for the PTA meeting in the gym...he sang well and danced in line, I was worried about how he would do, and it wasn't bad....and then as they sat....I tried not to care that my son was the only one to "misbehave". I want to look around at the faces of parents who I am sure is witnessing this, thinking, man that kid is out of control, He needs a big swat on his behind. No, little do they understand my son has aspbergers damn it and yes after today I get pissed. I don't know at what sometimes,,maybe that God blessed me with him,,,the sadness and frustration that comes with it,,,the inadequate feelings I have at times as a mom...am I doing this right? am I setting him up for failure by putting him in social situations? So I have started to blog now, for me really, just to write my frustrations and happiness with my days....Dylan is a great kid that has a mental issues, Its a rough path that God chose for me so I move forward and wait some days God has to carry me....
