I didn’t abandon the blog. I’m finding the balance.
I’ve been working so hard on Special Happens, still refining things (blast that IE browser). I’ve begun at the Examiner again, and am contributing to 5 minutes for special needs. And yes, my RSS feed is up around the 200+ mark. (I’ll have to put myself on some kind of schedule to save my sanity.)
Besides these (boring) things, I can tell you, I’ve:
- Finished a PECS daily schedule along with the rules and regulations of home and reward chart almost all in one.
had a cup of coffee by myself, out of my house. - Cleaned out the play room, giving away a ton of toys and books and ‘made room for Santa’s toys’.
- Decided that the train room is a train room and will double as a sensory room when needed…easily convert-able to a dinning room…if anyone ever wants me to cook for them.
- Played with the kids.
- Showered more than 2 times a week.
- Burned through a Yankee fall scented candle much faster than the hubs (who believes all Yankee candles in the house
- Belong to him alone) thought I would.
- Attended a friend’s funeral.
- Bought 4 pairs of jeans and returned them all.
- Deep cleaned my kitchen floors.
- Delivered Thanksgiving meals to families who were in need this year.
- Contemplated the meaning of life
- And drank a lot more wine
So, no, I haven’t abandoned the blog, just working through the balance. Next on the list…plucking this hair out of my chin…it’s driving me CRAZY!

I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend…
And if you arrive at any answers after the life-meaning-pondering, I hope you share
