The Reason I Wear Blue
It's not about politics. It's not about Autism Speaks. It's not about awareness (just ask Jess over at Diary of a Mom). It's not about treatments. Or cures. Or not-cures. It's not about yesterday. Or tom… -
Being Broken
Excuse me for posting on the brink of a melt down, but I don't know what else to do but write. -
Bedtime, Again.
It's pushing midnight, and I'm tired. Last night I was up until 3am. I don't want a repeat of last night, so my hope is that if I get some things on paper (er, screen?) and off my mind, maybe I'll be able to sleep. So… -
Scattered Thoughts

I Could Write
Today, I could write about so many things. I could write about my frustrations with my ability to communicate verbally. I always manage to come off sounding rude when I don't mean anything rude at all. I think it's be… -
Being Preventative
So, I have a new thing. I've been going to see the cats (at the animal shelter) every other day. I'm planning on going this morning. I would go daily if it weren't a 20ish-minute drive from home. The way I see it, I c…
