Good Morning

February 1, 2003

MIchelle loves Barbie dolls too. Most of the time she hangs around

watching disney movies and acting like she is one of the characters LOL. I

feel so bad she has no friends. She is a good follower. She scares me to

death because she is starting to grow breast buds and is also 9

years old like Hannah. Then she asked my best friend how she can get a

boyfriend??!!!!!! I am so glad she isnt going to Trindiad schools no more.

At least now in Raton NM they are noticing how socially behind she is.

Do you know what my biggest worry is Cheryl? I worry that when she hits 14

or so that she will do anything tomake friends and someone take advantage of

her. She already lets people take advantage of her anyway talks her out of

anything. This last time it was a book of Harry Potter I bought for her.

Maybe especially if they are into Barbie dolls........hannah is going on 9

but still loves her Barbies, but i heard somewhere that is good, as at least

she is associating these dolls with real people!!, hope it is true. cheryl S

Hey Charlene...we're not having too good a morning either. I still have

dents in my walls and a couple of holes too, sometimes I feel like I have a

few dents and holes myself!! <smile>. We're all been there, and it's amazing

how we've survived this far!! Hang in there, girl...it will get better,

doesn't it always?

I hope your state has a program to provide services for kids with

developmental disabilities, sounds like you could use a break.

good morning

We bought a double wide nov 2000. They had a wood stove in it but

the door of glass and it was just for looks but we use it to heat cheaper

then propane LOL. Last night my nt son decided to put a log in the fire

but it was too hot for him so he slammed the door and the glass shattered

burning his foot and it was so hot I thought would burn the floor it landed

on. My husband flipped wanting a divorice or to go out of town again to

get away from it all LOL. They put there fingers through a fiber glass tub

We pasted it but now it cracked so we duck taped it. I want to replace

it with this 300 pound tub we bought for $10 They flooded the floor behind

and now the particle board is bowing! has broke the window in the

truck by hitting it with his head, hes eaten tar that I put onthe block

skirting the inspector required, hes thrown a whole can of pain outside it

spilled everywhere. has broke a wooden door on the cabinet in

pieces cost $30 to have someone rebuild it and I installed it! We doour

own work but it still costs money and patients. My husband went off the

deep end last night. Iam about too LOL If its not the schools, the

government no help peoples attitudes then its the kids themselves abusing

your home! I used to have a so called military wife friend who knew it

all. She got a job at New Hanover nj WORKING FOR special needs and only

lasted a year. Her attitude was well if youd provide structure. Have

you heard of supervision? I had to dump her LOL

CALLAGON TAKE ME AWAY. Maybe my mom will have somemore volumes

left and give me some LOLOLOL

don;t worry, i have those fears too..........she is just so innocent, and it

takes awhile for her to win confidence in people, but once she knows where

you fit in she is fine. I am going to have to keep her close i can see, as

there are some things she simply just does not understand. As she grows

older i don;t know how it will be.

she has a little girl down the road come over, when she is bored, but Hannah

finds it so hard to interact, i have to keep prompting her, to go show her

barbies, do something with the little girl or she will go off and do her own

thing......there are days i just want to cry, as she really does not know

what a real friend is. Last year she had 2 little girls who would try real

hard with her in school, but i can see they won;t be there for much longer,

as they are maturing, and going onto the next stage of life, where as hannah

is just staying the same. She comes and hugs me at least 10 times a day and

tells me how much she loves me. I better go to bed, got up as back was

aching......it is 4.44am...........i must be crazy. Cheryl S

I hope it's okay to laugh at your recent family events! I heard

scribbling on the wall the other day and saw Allie coloring away on

the sheet-rock. I was torn between being so fed up with art-work

walls throughout the house and her being able and interesting in

coloring. Then there's the constant taking the sand bucket in the

bathroom & dumping all the toilet water onto the floor. When she

can't make it there she likes to sit in the dishwater and splash

around the kitchen. Then there's climbing on top of the piano to

throw all the nice pictures on the floor.

Allie's teacher had us fill out a form. One question asked what her

favorite activities are when not being engaged. We put " destroy the

house " . She said that was the best answer yet, because (she grew up

with a profoundly autistic brother) she knows most autistic do that

but we are the first family to admit it. Admit it? I want them to

know our pig pen isn't just because I don't clean, lol.

LOL Debi you made me laugh. Its true our pig pen but not because

we dont clean. I have a suggestion for the bathroom though. I want to

put a drain in the middle of the floor! AS for the walls at fort dix they

used flat paint which came off when scrubbed here I use semi gloss latex and

I clean it with pure simple green comes off nicely then. Its great5 Allie

has a teacher who has grown up experiencing autism. Yes its ok to laugh

Debi because it makes it easier to take. I mean cant fight it join it

LOLOLOLOL
