I came back to my blog after my last post from over a week ago and found {loves} in my comments:) Thanks to all who are still here with me and to my newcomers Stacey and Tracie that gave me a public shout out letting me know they are here too, even if it's in the background:)

To say {merci}, I think you all deserve a giveaway.  I'm not sure what I'll find yet, but it will either be fun, practical, cool, or yummy! - Stay Tuned!!

PS: To Stacey, nice to see you on here, do you have a blog as well?  I love, love, love meeting other families affected by Autism and learning new ways of coping and recovering our kids as well as just having a friendship of someone else who gets it and can relate!! 

PSS: To Tracie- Please start a blog.  It will be good for you, it's free therapy. 

Time for a {Change}.

I've hit a "mountain" in my road of life and have decided some changes need to be done.  What those changes are, I'm unclear right now.  Things I think about a lot though, are:

1: Clean out FB acquaintances.  I don't care to be any ones "number" anymore, it bugs me that I only mean so much to a person that they friended me only to get their friend number higher.  I'm worth more as a person.  I question peoples genuine face when they have 500+ "friends", really??  Get off your high horse because as a human, I won't be a pawn in your game of life.  So if I end up with only 7 friends in the end, I'm thinking I'll be ok with that, and it feels good.  The game will have shifted to me saying "check mate".

2: Take my blog private.  I've gone back and forth on this F...O...R...E...V...E...R!!  But, as I see in my stats, no one really is reading anymore so I'm basically entertaining myself and if I'm going to do that, I'll do it uncensored and in the raw for only me.

3: Change up G's whole biomedical routine.  Change his DAN! Change his supplements, change the testing we've done, the whole nine yards.  Why?  Cause I feel he's plateaued and needs a new set of eyes to look him over.

4: Organize my life, I mean really organize, not just push things aside that creates clutter.

5: Stop allowing people to treat me like a child and talk down to me instead of with me.  I don't like being censored or told what to do or made to feel like I do nothing.  I know how to stand up for myself but in certain situations its proper to hold your tongue and that isn't me.  I don't like not being me.

6: Learn a skill I can do from home and earn money.  I like having my own money, I hate the feeling of having to ask for permission because I'm not the breadwinner.  In all honesty, it makes me feel "owned" or "kept".  I know not everyone feels this way, it's just the way I am and this is in no way intended to hurt anyone, it's just my own feelings.  (I hear the wrath approaching now....)

7: And lucky #7....I need to change my attitude from just existing to living again. 

Raise your hand if Heather needs a therapist?  Yep.  But the tarot cards are more revealing and a psychic sounds more fun:)

Besides, at the end of all this, I want to be standing on top of my "mountain" like this dude and say, "SCREW YOU!  I'M BOSS NOW MUDDA FUDDA!!!!!!"

The end. (or is it the beginning?)
