Walking for a Cause


Next weekend is the local walk/run for Autism. This is bring awarness and raise monies for our local programs. Most children are not diagnosed until the age of 5 (parker) and so much can be done with an earlier diagnoises. This is very near to our hearts and very important. We are very lucky that our son is considered highly functional, but he struggles everyday in school. If you are interested in joining us or just making a donation, please email me. Thank you.




Thanks for all your support!

Movin on up!

He is first one to get a new van!!
Only 10 miles on it!! Watch out Georgia, John is comin to sell to you!!
Yesterday was my day off and John had asked me to go to Atlanta. He needed to get his new van for work. He has been waiting on this van for over six months!! Now he won't have to use his own vehicle and best thing yet, he now has a fuel card...score!! Gas allowances are the pits. Gas keeps going up, but you still get the same money, they tax you on it, and it never goes far enough with John's gas lovin truck. Anyway I digress, we went to Atlanta, mind you just to pick the van and head directly back home. Well his boss calls him and finds out we are in the parking lot. Next thing you know we are going in the main office and John is meeting with the President of the company... yikes! I meet his boss for the first time lookin like trailer trash. Nice huh!! Anyway the give him a sales position. He is super nervouse, but we are excited also. We are very rutty people and hate change so anything makes us anxiouse. I'm sure he will do great and he still gets to keep the van!! Yeah big daddy!!! I am super proud of him!!!

Random thoughts

I love to look at my daughters blog in the hopes of seeing my little grandbaby or if I am real lucky a picture of my beautiful pregnant Tara. I get very sad to think that I have not been able to share any of her pregnancies with her.... Hopefully someday she will live closer!! Allison passed her PT test so everything should be a ok with her scholarship!!! Thank goodness!! She hasn't been able to buy some books because they are mucho expensive ( 1= $200) and with all her other expeses (tickets) we haven't been able to do it. Devin tried out for One Act at her school. This year they are doing Godspell. She didn't make the cast, but the trooper she is she is working behind the scenes. Yesterday she asked me for an old toilet and garbage. I told don't worry I can get you all the trash you want!! I told her that she will have to clean toilet ..... not really, but I like to see her face react. Parker is struggling at school and I am really at a loss. I ask the teachers for suggestions, but they don't have any so if anybody has an ideal I am open to suggestions. Wow, this post is a real downer :( Maybe I'm a little blue, John has been working out of town all week and I failed my math test. I can't stand to get a bad grade on anything. I still have the need to get good grades and be one of the teachers favorites. I'm so pathetic....
