I have started and restarted this post so many times that I have lost count. I've been a horrible blogger. Honestly I've just been bad at social media in general lately... and by lately I mean the last few years. Once upon a time I was fairly decent at keeping things updated, but after the … Continue reading Dusting Off the Cobwebs…

The Great Move: Best Laid Plans…
We had a plan for whenever the house finally sold. The plan was that I would fly up to Washington, look at homes with our Realtor, put in an offer on one, and then come back home and start packing. Well, a couple of things made that plan impossible. Firstly, Boyo was going through a … Continue reading The Great Move: Best Laid Plans…
The Great Move: Why Washington
Back in 2013, John (my husband) and I went on a little road trip with some friends up to Washington to visit their house in Gig Harbor. John was looking for work. The company he had been with for over a year had let him go because the owner of the company wanted to hire … Continue reading The Great Move: Why Washington
Typical Parent Worries…
Just because an Autism diagnosis didn't have a major effect on our lives doesn't mean I don't worry about the Boyo's future. As I mentioned in last weeks blog, I believe that Boyo is exactly who he was meant to be - but that doesn't mean I can't be freaked out about his future like … Continue reading Typical Parent Worries…
A Year Later…
Last April, Boyo was diagnosed with Autism so I thought I would post today on, Autism Awareness day, about how much it has affected our lives. (Spoiler alert: not very much) Now, please keep in mind that the Autism spectrum is pretty broad. And it's really more like a color wheel than a sliding scale. … Continue reading A Year Later…
Not A Good Start…
I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I meant to post more, I had a plan, but things kind of just got out of control. Between catching that cold that's been going around (I was coughing for a month afterwards, it was horrible), the usual holiday craziness, and trying to get the bridesmaid's dresses … Continue reading Not A Good Start…
Hello Again…
We are still in California. Our realtor seems to be getting contacted by a lot of people who swear they really love the place and don't care about the space rent, only once they come to see the house, we never hear from them again. It's more than a little disappointing and honestly it's really … Continue reading Hello Again…
The Undying Ones Origins – A Haunted Place…
Many many years ago, in a little town called Buena Park, the areas first theme park, Knott’s Berry Farm, decided to do a Halloween event featuring a local radio talent. The event was so successful that it came back the next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. As time passed, … Continue reading The Undying Ones Origins – A Haunted Place…
Dropping In…
It's been a crazy crazy week this week. A lot of things are changing - some far more rapidly than we planned on - so to give you a quick run down of everything that is happening: A month ago, the Boyo was diagnosed as Autistic (which wasn't that big of a surprise, honestly...) The … Continue reading Dropping In…
Of ASD, Therapy, and Picky Eaters…
I can't recall if I've shared it here, or if I posted it someplace else, but Boyo is considered High Risk (depending on which professional you talk to) for Autism due to his early birth and family history. For awhile there we were pretty damn sure that a diagnosis was inevitable because his speech was … Continue reading Of ASD, Therapy, and Picky Eaters…
