Puppy got groomed!

First visit to groomer for pup. I took her there last week to meet people and so I could see the place. Neat and clean. Staff is very friendly. Said she is to young for full groom. Said pup needs to be able to stand still for one hour. Pup can't stand still for 30 seconds. Anyway, groomer said she will work with her to get her used to it slowly so she's not scared. She went for first time today. Came back beautiful and with a cute bandanna.

Potato chips with a kick!

Shopping at a warehouse grocery store I came across a bag of chips called. California Earthquake chips. Well funny as it seems the reason I was there was to purchase non perishable foods for our earthquake kit. So I thought it was funny. And I bought them.

We had hot dogs for lunch and the earthquake chips. Phrew! Sweet, sour, spicy. Now there is a story about how they came up with the flavor. Take a look at the pictures.

Strep throat sucks..

Well after 2 doctors appointments, a lab visit for  3 throat cultures and too much money. The news is in. We have strep throat.

Autism and Valentines Day

My son has been looking forward to Valentines Day for 2 weeks now.

He enjoys getting candy from me. Yet this morning he was very upright about going to school on Valentines Day.

He's looking forward to his favorite dinner, mac and cheese with hot dogs and sweet tea.

He's a freshmen in high school. Doesn't have a girl friend. But let me add neither do his friends. So that's not the trouble.

The trouble is the uncertainty of the day. Anything could happen. And if anything deviates from his normal schedule he gets uptight.

I hope he had a great day!
Happy Valentines Day!
Ps he did have a good day!

Police chase

I have always been amazed by people that run from the police. Watching a chase on ktla right now.

Person made an unsafe lane change 45 minutes ago on the 170 freeway. They think its a stolen vehicle.

Do people that run from police really think they can get away? I mean seriously!

Now their talking about pitting the truck. Person is just driving around in circles.

The truck just turned into a neighborhood. They won't do pit manuver in there. Have to be on main street. Their in the silver lake area.

An hour into it they pitted the truck. Stand off now.

Truck moving forward towards police. Ohh!! Guy just jumped out his window. Police have him.



IEPTesting.. and my son's forgetful nature.

Being a freshman in high school one would think my Aspergers son could remember to follow through on a simple command.

Last week I was sent home a 26 pg questioner for IEP testing. Long story short. Testing was to be done before high school in 8 th grade. I signed paperwork last year in middle school. High school found out middle school never tested! So now high school Is in high gear to get it done. The high school has also turned the middle school into the district for not doing testing I had signed for.

We even had a post testing IEP meeting last year. So they just lied to me about the testing! How could it be a post testing meeting if they never did testing?!

Anyway,,

Paper work was sent home to me Wednesday last week. Course I didn't know that till 10:30 pm when son remembered and got out of bed to give me. I contacted counselor and assured her she would get it back Friday. Well my son forgot to give it to her.

Monday comes and goes with him forgetting again! I had a 30 minute talk with him last night  about responsibility, and following through on tasks that you are to complete. I also contacted counselor again and suggested she get paperwork from him instead of waiting for him to go to her.

This morning he was focused on our puppy and the fact it is to rain today. So my guess is he will forget paperwork again even though I reminded at drop off at school this morning.

Hope he has a good day! And remembers to turn in paperwork! My guess is he will focus his whole day on if I'm going to pick him up after school. Which I told him I would if its raining.

Day dreaming...

Here I sit inside my home looking out the window day dreaming about nothing important.

Looking at the dew hanging onto my trees leaves. The way the water glimmers in the sunshine is beautiful.

I hear birds singing, my neighbors phone ringing! A gentle breeze rustling the leaves on the ground.

I can hear cars speed past, the house popping and creaking as the day warms up. Supposed to be 80 today. It's 59 right now.

The clock on my mantle is clicking away the minutes of the day. I have a sleepy little pup on my lap dreaming of running and chasing leaves. Feet are twitching.

What a beautiful day! Taking pup outside now to enjoy it!

My geranium is even blooming!!





Just another day..

What a beautiful day. Sun is shining, birds are singing, puppy is napping now after playing. Cat is sleeping as a 19 1/2 year old cat should be. Wish I could figure out this Blogger app. It has no option to read other peoples blogs. Very lacking app. Easier to post pictures from cell than Wordpress. But can't read others blogs. :(

Hi!

Just trying out Blogger to see how it is. Wordpress has had some issues with their app for the Droid. And I'm not usually at a computer. I need a source of blogging that works from my cell easily. I have one sleepy pup on my bed.
Good night.
