July Random Thoughts

Hello! blog world and welcome to my random thoughts. Here goes, feeling tired and overwhelmed lately. Went to Walmart today and can not believe school supplies are already hitting the shelves. Happy about my husband getting all this overtime this week because, we can surely use the extra dollars. Extremely excited about my garden this year. It does not look as good as the neighbors but, definitely my best garden year. Keeping my fingers crossed that it continues to do well and bugs don't invade. Was thinking how I wish I could relive some childhood things. Hope it is not a mid-life crisis. Spending to much time looking at houses for sale. Praying I can move my kids out of this town by next year. Can't believe the trials I have faced this month. I know that my Father in Heaven hears and answers my prayers. This Saturday is an all day scrap and need some time out of the house. Camping trip in less than 3 weeks and trying to get jobs and everything else done before we leave. My older kids still have little scheduleing lately, hoping to change that soon. My son is sure out of focus lately and has way to much energy. It is crazy because, I know we have been relaxed with his diet lately and kicking myself in the rear for that. Back to Gluten Free tomorrow, the sooner the better. I have entered more than 5 contests this month and that feels awesome. Need to find some willing teenagers to use for a photo shoot. Trying to get my photog skills under control. Just keep telling myself that practice makes perfect and so, here I go with practice...practice...practice. Each day I am amazed at the talented people out there. And each day I am also amazed at how many people are put in my path of life who also have kids struggling with autism/aspbergers. Trying to educate myself more and more everyday. It is amazing to me that it is 1 in 100 kids who suffer with autism, that # seems so high to me. I like to think that the Lord has prepared these children for something amazing and we just don't get it yet because, my son is so smart and incredible. I look at him and wish my mind could get a glimpse of what his does. The great thing is that he is patient with me in trying to help me understand where he is coming from and what he needs at any given moment and I know a lot of parents don't have that. I am so excited that my Brother-in- law is coming home from Afganastan to be reunited with his wife, welcome home uncle Chris, YOU ROCK! That's it for now until, next month.
