Day at the County Fair
Little Miss entered the purple zinnias she planted in the spring into the county fair and took second place! It’s the highest she’s placed, and she was thrilled. K and her family were here fair week, which… -
Becoming "Normal"
I realized the other day that this is the first ‘real’ summer the two younger kids have had since they were maybe a year old. (The Captain, of course, has not improved, so he continues in partial hospital… -
Behavoir, discussions, and new programs
We’ve been traveling a rocky road with the Captain since mid-October of last year. His behavior reverted to that of a first or second grader and has been on a hellish cycle ever since. He’s been suspended f… -
Moving Upward
We have what might be one of the most important IEP meetings of Little Miss’s life coming up the first week of March: transition into junior high school. She’ll be moving from the school with the autism… -
Project Linus and being "blanketeers!"
As you may have guessed, we really enjoy Disney World, so when the ad campaign came out late last year to “ Give a Day, Get a Disney Day“, I thought I’d see if there was something we could do togeth… -
The Answers Just Aren't Enough
So we go Tuesday to Watson, half holding our breaths, waiting for the experts to tell us The Word. And the Word is: Sorry your kid’s broken, sucks to be you. You shouldn’t hold him to such a high standard… -
Life

- About Me: I’ve been writing ever since I was a little girl, unable to control the urge of stories that wanted to percolate through my fingers into the keyboard. Or back then, onto the old Royal typewriter. (Before the TRS-80 even! Wow!) It’s a learning process and I’m still at it, still writing and learning about craft, style, synopsis, agents, editors and more! I’ve had some moderate success, for which I’m grateful, but I’m still working hard, with my ultimate goal to have novels in print. In the meantime, I’m keeping my day job as a family law attorney, my night job as parent to three children with special needs, and writing when I can. As the computer age enters its prime, I wanted to expand my writing universe onto the World Wide Web, and here I am! Don’t be frightened! :) Also see: My office site: www.mountjoylaw.com My writing site: www.awalkabout.net My page at Firefox: Firefox News articles
