Boundary Trails Health Centre meeting room
7:30 pm
For more information email Celeste at southcentralasd@yahoo.ca

report cards are in

and we have 2 kids that will be picking out a new book at the book fair! way to go guys!

and on another note...our cat inhales his food so fast he does not chew with his back teeth. so, according to our vet, he's got plaque! our cat!!!! so try the 23.00 cat food with plaque control, for 6 months, the pieces are bigger, which will force him [haha] to use his back teeth or fess up 200.00 and he can get his teeth cleaned at the vet's office and an overnight stay.

23.00 it is..

good-bye Mrs. B

to a friend, a mom, a grandma, an aunt, to someone who cared about our family. we will miss you. may you have fun seeing your family again

last night!

meet with a group of mom's & dad's with kids on the spectrum. the plan is to start a local chapter for ASD! South Central ASD will be the name and the goal is to meet once a month. The next meeting is Dec 1 @ 7:30 [location to be determined later] and it is for families, support workers & teachers. Very excited about this and was happy to meet other families who have been where we are right now and from our area!! didn't get home til 11:30 but it was so worth it!!!!

If you wanna go, call or email me and i will hopefully have a location for you!!

trick or treat!

We have a date with Spiderman & a witch...who's your date with?

hope you all have a safe and fun evening collecting your goodies or handing out your little goodies!

I did something different yesterday...

i had a me moment.

i stopped thinking about work, school, birthday parties, hallowe'en, the autism, funding, allergies, friends & family [sorry], THE CAT, the house etc.....

i went and hung out with some card making "ladies" {nothing proper 'bout them! they will make you laugh until ya pee!!!!} i made 2 cards and started remembering why i love to create...

i then told myself, i need to do more. to recharge these drained batteries. so i can keep going!! I NEED TO CREATE!

to sum it up...i need to sniff the glue & ink pads!!!

have a good hallowe'en!

she blew her nose!!!

her top tooth has been has been wiggly for a bit and well after she was emotional for a bit, she needed to blow her nose. well, she blew, and out popped her tooth! and of course she was a little shocked!

9 monkies...

if you have 9 monkies aka kids hanging on the side of the bunk bed...who do you think will get hurt first?

the bed...yup they managed to pull the side panel off the bed....you should have seen the 9 pairs of eyes racked with guilt when david & i walked in to see what happened! it was hilarious! i wished i could of taken a picture at that moment!

we had they kids "carve" their own pumpkins--they loved this! i was suprized at how much they enjoyed it. though i did clean all of them the night before. but they drew their faces, and i carved them out.

bowling was a huge hit on saturday...a little slow mind you but they had fun and a slurpee helps as well!

and...I PASSED!!!!

better late than never, right?

hey there, today we are having a bunch of extra 7 yr olds join us for a party and then 1 lucky person will be staying for a sleepover! thank you to all the Aunties, Uncles & cousins who bought some chocolates to support Isabelle & Nicholas' bowling league! we really are thankful for your sweet tooth!!!

i've been struggling...{sad}

to prepare for my next work course in 1 week. i have had the books for 3 months and procrastinate was now my middle name. i just could not get into it like the other courses; page 1 was hard, 2 blurrey...page 3 i would stop. i would retain nothing of what i had read. i was getting really worried and fustrated at myself that i would set this example to isabelle & nicholas. sunday morning, same thing, and this time isabelle started to say mommy are you studying your homework today? yep , honey i will try today. 2 in the afternoon and i am now doing the dishwasher. and then i get mad at myself-why is this so hard? and then i saw this cute little boys face in my head and i started crying. hard. {everyone was outside thankfully} and then i started remembering that tragic day in jan when Jen called, her heart breaking into a million pieces telling me about her baby; I had just started to study. well i just started sobbing, going over that day in my head- rehashing the days events; the calls made, the tears shared, the shock and preparing to fly the next day.

it was a cleansing moment for me

i am now almost finished chapter 2

I love you Sam and we all miss you. thank you for showing me to go on.
