It was January 30th 2016 when we signed the papers of our new house. Babbit and I were so ecstatic and so relieved. We had a guaranteed home. After living paycheck to paycheck for so long this was a breath of fresh air. We decided to remodel before we moved in and we gave ourselves six months. So no later than September 1st 2016 we were going to move in officially. Each one of my kids has their own room now. Even if they don't live with us they have their own room so to speak. My grandsons share a room / Nursery and they love to be together so we keep it that way. We even have in laws that live with us. My mother stays with us a couple weeks out of the year. My father in law however lives with us on a permanent basis. My mother in law lives in a modest house with her husband and dog. She lives a relaxing life and does not need to worry anymore. My father in law loves the library, he spends hours on end reading his books and watches his sci fi shows. Babbit has a room dedicated totally to sports. You should see him in the room it's like watching a child at Christmas. Every day he has something new to put in his Sports room. My oldest has her art room where she goes to release her tensions and worries on the canvas. She has been working on opening up her own art studio with all her original works. Our middle daughter has gone to the workforce where she works 40 hours a week and she loves what she does. She works at the Humane Society around dogs and cats and birds. Everyday she has a different story to tell me about a different animal that she fell in love with. Our son works for an organization called Autism Speaks where he is a spokesperson and makes personal appearances regarding autism and Aspergers. He loves what he does he does it very well. He shows kids all over the country that because you have a diagnosis of autism / Aspergers it doesn't make you any less different than anyone else. Our youngest is still in high school so she's concentrating on that. She is a senior and love school. She is excelling in her school work and making good friends along the way. She likes volunteering at the Humane Society where her sister works. I believe she works there to take all the free hugs and kisses from cute little puppy faces all day long. As for myself I got into interior design. I fell in love with redecorating my new house that I went and opened up my own interior design firm. I have all the best designers that I could find  Columbus and I love each and every one of them. When we finally moved in it was breathtaking. All our dreams are coming true. All our dreams did come true. We are happy. Healthy. Full of love and laughter. We are home, we are family.

This guy. What can I do I say about this wonderful man. I start by saying...Happy birthday, son. I can't express how blessed I am to have been chosen to be your mother. What a honor it is for me to raise such a fine human being. Thank you. I marvel at all you do and everything you have accomplished in the 22 years you've been.on this planet. School. Work. Friends. Family. You would take your own shirt off your back to help your fellow brother. I admire you for that. Your work ethic puts others to shame. Showing everyone that Autism isn't going to stand in your way. I stand all amazed by you. My hero. My love. My Son. Have the happiest of birthday my sweet boy. Forever and beyond ❤

 You will be missed so much. Chris and I love you with all our hearts. You left us to soon. If only we had one more time with each other. To hug. To laugh. To call on for advice. I was blessed to have known you as long as I did. Thank you for helping raise my husband. Being such a great role model for my children and grandchildren. Thank you for your love and admiration. Till we meet again ♥ 

Had It Been THAT Long?

I'm taking a long overdue Epsom Salt bath. It was almost a full week since I bathed or took a shower. I knew it had been a while, but didn't really care. Why should I? I wasn't leaving the house any time soon?  My husband does all that errand crap. I went outside of course. To hang laundry or take out the pups. But I never got dressed for the day. Got prepared for the day. I just woke up and DID the day. On auto-pilot, if you will. I listened to music I already knew. Watch shows and movies I know every line to. For the last week or so I've been numb to the World. No social media. No news. No personal drama. And to be honest...I like it. No one to answer to. No one to tell me what, when, where or how things get or should be done. I just did them. My way.  Let's be honest. I didn't just like it, I LOVED it! I want more of it! I have come to a conclusion that the older I get, the more I want to become a recluse. Not in a bad or harmful way, just a peaceful more rel...
