A family in Progress

My thoughts on day to day life……

  We have an appointment!


I’m ecstatic!! Our doctor had originally told us it could take two to three month’s to get into see a pediatrician, but they called today with an appointment date of July 10. With all the horror stories I had heard regarding how long of a process this could be - I had my mind set […]

  Things are easier when you share


I thought that if I kept what was going on with Myles within our own little family - that would keep it from being real.
After a VERY emotional Monday, I shared our new path with many members of CPO Tuesday morning. I was scared - why? I don’t know, maybe it was because I was […]

  And so our journey begins….


Walking out of the doctor’s office today - I barely remember. The only words I kept hearing over and over again were those of our family doctor who sympathetically stated - *There is a diagnoses somewhere I’m sure, I’m just not qualified to make it*
It’s suspected that Myles has Aspergers - a form […]

  The mini get away……


It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day, but I have to admit I’m a tad jealous.
Last weekend we were fortunate enough to get away for the long weekend to a beautiful cottage in the Ipperwash area. The weather was garbage though, if it wasn’t raining, it was cold and dreary and trips to the […]

  Working through it….


These past few days have been nothing less then an emotional roller coaster. I feel like I’m walking around in daze - searching for anything that could be an answer or make sense.
I get up in the morning - the same way I do everyday. I go to work to manage a team of […]

It’s recently been brought to the attention of both Gord and I, that certain things we have observed with Myles as being […]

  I’m going to be 11 again!!


One of the highlights for me when I was 11 was going to see New Kids on The Block, not once, not twice - but three time in the same year! I was obsessed, just as many other kids my age were!
Today I am so excited to be able to go back for one night […]

  Another Mother’s Day Down!


I remember opening my eyes about 9:45 this morning and thinking - this can’t be right. Did Myles sleep in??? As I rolled over - there he was looking in me in the fact, in the spot that Gord usually sleeps in. *Good Morning Mommy* he said *It’s time to get up*…LOL!
How great of Gord […]

  Back to Basics


Sometimes it takes the simplest things to take you back to really what is important.
The past few days have been an emotional roller coaster. My thoughts have been this jumbled cloud racing through my mind. Trying to make sense out of things that really don’t make any, trying not to take let hurtful comments get […]

  Don’t we all ultimately have the same goal?


One thing I truly admire in people is the passion and fire they hold when they find a cause or something they believe in. Yet, I could never understand how it is that these causes can cause such a divide in people, parents, nations etc.
I only have three years in the door on parenting - […]
