How I did it: I started making a list of goals for the week. Then I started breaking those down into smaller pieces. Each morning I look at my weekly goals, and determine which smaller steps I can take. At the end of the day, I look at what I've accomplished and what I need to do the next day. Read how I did it…
How I did it: As our children have gotten older, I've looked at different holidays and different family situations and looked for ways to (hopefully) provide them with warm, loving, fun memories of our time together. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Searched "autism awareness" on Google images Saved several appropriate images Uploaded them Used them as my avatars in several places for days Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
So much for blooming and growing…or perhaps it is BECAUSE so much is blooming and growing…but I am now the (not-so-)proud owner of a spring cold. Ugh.
Productivity is down…and sniffling.
Is there a polite way to tell medical administrative assistants to stuff it? I called my daughter’s neurologist on Friday because my daughter had an incident at school that sounded incredibly like a drop seizure. What I needed to know was if he wanted her to come in…what they told me was that I needed to take her to the ER.
Well, after four years dealing with this, I KNOW when my daughter needs to go to the ER and when she doesn’t. I needed to make an appointment, but got nowhere. AAARGH.
Thanks for letting me vent…
Yours truly,
A Fed-Up, Knowledgable Mother…With No Patience for People Who Don’t Listen
