Raising a Drama Queen: I'll See Your College Bound and Raise You a Van Bound
http://charsmomtonf.blogspot.com/2015/06/ill-see-your-college-bound-and-raise.html
Raising a Drama Queen. Tuesday, June 2, 2015. I'll See Your College Bound and Raise You a Van Bound. I've had people tell me that I should dream again for my child. That I am limiting her. I've heard that I am giving up hope. Honestly this week I'm happy because a school van transportation issue seems to be resolved. My daughter also completed two pages of homework without complaining. This morning she was ready for school on time. These are the things we celebrate at our house. June 5, 2015 at 10:36 AM.

Raising a Drama Queen. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. The Horrific Thing That Changed My Life. The morning of this job went well except that I'd gotten a flat tire on the way. I stayed to babysit the babies and had lunch before calling my mom to come pick me up. My mom and I a few years after her terrible accident. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Baking Cupcakes is not for the Faint of Heart. Last Friday my daughter had the day off from school. I wanted to do something fun with her so I suggested that we b...

I DO BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER ADVENTURE. A blog inspired by sending my firstborn off to college. A Week (Or Two) In The Life, Part Two: A Sunday In DC. July 10, 2015. July 8, 2016. A Sunday In DC. In early May I made an unplanned visit to a black church in DC a full six weeks before the Charleston murders. This is the story of what happened that day. You’ll be glad to know I didn’t run away, but I did think, whoa, Pastor, I don’t even know how I ended up standing here in front of you, ok? Memories o...

My First “Autism” Movie
https://autismodysseys.com/2015/05/21/my-first-autism-movie
Life with 4 neuroexceptional kids on different places of the spectrum. My First “Autism” Movie. May 21, 2015. May 21, 2015. Many say that Rainman was the film that introduced them to “Autism”- and while I saw it as a senior in high school, it didn’t make a huge impact. Alright, I’m not going to lie – Tom Cruise made an impact, the rest of the movie did not. The movie that opened my eyes was House of Cards in 1993 with Kathleen Turner and Tommy Lee Jones. The synopsis from IMBD:. May 21, 2015 at 3:10 pm.

Raising a Drama Queen. Monday, March 30, 2015. Can Ronald McDonald House Change My Mind? Last week I wrote a post about how poorly my daughter and I were treated by a member of Ronald McDonald House Charities staff. You can read about it here. I emailed their San Diego office since that is who we dealt with. On Friday, I received an email response stating that they'd like to talk to me. Since it was late in the day I called back today.

To The Husband With A Depressed Wife. Depression is a killer. Depression tortures countless victims by the second on a daily basis. It sucks the joy out of everything good, and it feeds on misery and self-loathing. It is a silent killer. A disease that likes to stay undetected. I have previously written a few posts about my own experiences with depression. I am not even sure how to set out this post; bullet points? I love you dearly, more than anything in this whole world, I think you already know this&#...

A family's journey with Ring 22 syndrome and autism. February 25, 2015. February 25, 2015. I don’t think about the “what ifs” everyday…but on that day, “The meeting day” those always seem to surface. Pictures flash into my mind of how much time has passed and how little time in school remains. A flicker of desperation can bring me to tears at a moment’s notice. …. I feel vulnerable. Minion Monday Guest Post: Food for Thought! February 22, 2015. February 22, 2015. Trying to keep up with your daily blog po...

https://mandicastle.com/2015/05/07/its-been-a-long-day
Cellulite Looks Better Tan. And Other Observations From My Soap Box. It’s Been a Long Day. May 7, 2015. People always say that you don’t get to pick your family. I disagree. We all grew up, went to college, moved to different towns, got married, etc. But we managed to get together as frequently as possible, and when we did/do, it was/is as if time never passed. Then one day, our world changed again. Shattered for a minute. And an hour. And a lifetime. Our baby was gone. And tagged family parenting. Loss ...
