Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Funny you should ask... We just heard back and they accepted our offer!!! YEAH, I don't have to live in a van down by the river now! I'm so relieved. I knew it would work out eventually but it sure feels better when you have an address. Now we just have to work out the fine details....selling this house, etc... I started packing yesterday, 's wondering what's up but he's doing okay. I'm going to move into the new house on the 28th, I don't think I'll leave here til the 27th now, which gives me a few more days to pack things up here. School starts the 30th so we'll be in just under the wire.. Thanks for all the prayers and good vibes - More later, Jayne Laurie Drago wrote: Jayne how are you making out with the house?

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Thanks Donna, we're really excited. Don't get me wrong, I love my sleep as much as the next person but I don't think I'm going to get much of it for the next month! Thank goodness we'll get to Maine and then the kids will start school 2 days later! I don't know how much more summer break I can take! I just went to dinner with some Air Force friends of ours from way back when - they just moved to the same town we're living in in Va - and now we're moving. But anyway, we went out and I don't know what the heck I was thinking - taking along... OMG he was awful!! Yeah yeah, behavior is communication - well let me tell you the boy had a lot to say then! UGH. He threw everything across the room, plates, silverware, napkins, a 32 oz coke! He bolted through the restaurant. I finally got him into the stroller, with Emma's help - thank goodness she was there. I was like give me the check and 80 boxes, I've got to go. Oh he was awful. My friends were wonderful, I just felt awful, like I was spoiling their dinner - but they were wonderful. I think when those types of situations arise, I probably feel the worst. I officially can longer go out in public with him - it's that bad. It's been getting worse each time we go out in public, this was a doozy though tonight! Now, of course, he's fine since we're home. I told my hubby when I got home that I can't take him in public anymore and that he would have died if he'd seen the way he was acting up. Hubby had to work all day and just got home - super busy with a Military exercise at work. So I had 2 bites of dinner and spent the bulk of the meal sweating - chasing and retrieving thrown items. Life is good! Oh the joys of autism! NOT! This was an official " I hate Autism day! " . Take care, Jayne duffey48@... wrote: In a message dated 8/19/2006 4:57:02 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Jayne what a difficult time at dinner guess was communicating he didn’t want to be there. So hard when you want to enjoy the company of friends, they sound like true friends to be so wonderful during this time. Hugs, Louise Re: House Jayne? Thanks Donna, we're really excited.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Jayne, How precious this morning, memories to be cherished. Isn’t it something how one moment they make our spirits plunge and the next they uplift them that all is forgotten. Louise RE: House Jayne? Thanks Louise, Yes I gues he just didn't want to be there. But, yes it's so hard when you just want to put your own wants and needs first for just a minute and enjoy dinner with long lost friends! I know it was loud and overstimulating and not a place a child with Autism would neccesarily enjoy on a Saturday night... BUT! Of course it was all forgotten when he fell asleep in my bed next to Daddy, he looked so cute. Then he came into my bedroom this morning, blowing his whistle like I was a Military recruit! Then he got in my bed, gave me a big hug and kiss and lay with me for awhile. Sweet moment, the kind I cherish and help me keep it all in perspective. Last night was awful, but this morning was priceless. Take care, jayne -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Donna. I really hope when we move can tolerate things a bit. We have a fantastic church we go to there, very tiny and small town. I hope he can handle it. We haven't been there for a while ( emma, , or I) but they are waiting to greet us with open arms. I hope doesn't beat anyone up!!! LOL! Last night he through a napkin that landed on my friend's son's head - it was funny but so not appropriate! And then he through a chunk of fresh mozzarella that almost hit a lady at the next table on the head, it ended up under their table. He was like a wild animal who'd never seen silverware, tables, plates, cups! I know you know - awful. I guess I'll stick with drive-throughs and carryout! thanks for the hugs, I really need them!
