Well I'm not quite ready to wrap up my box, still want to find a few more goodies to tuck in there!

Thanks everyone

So glad you were able to get back in Snowmom! Mommy5- Have you tried the plastic you can tape over the windows? You can mount it inside and out with tape inside and staple around the frame on the outside. Today I took the kids to the park again, and to the store to buy poster board. It's Jake's turn to be star of the week so I needed it to make his board. I went through all the photos yesterday. This afternoon I'm going to put them all on the board with captions. Should be fun.

Every day you have a choice, to dwell on the bad, or look for the good. If life has you down to the point you feel it isn't worth living it's time to go get help from a therapist or Dr. I myself recently decided I'd been trying to feel better on my own for long enough, and got help for my depression. Life is too wonderful to waste it feeling awful about what might have been or what isn't! I hope you can believe that YOU ARE WORTH IT, and you deserve to have true happiness.

I'm so sorry about your friend

Snowmom- Isn't she a doll! I met Lynne and her DD years ago and she was just the nicest kid. My kids thought she was so fun. I hope Lynne is o.k. The flowers on the tree in my yard are a gorgeous pink explosion LOL. The flowers all over town are all in bloom I LOVE it here!!!!

Glad you all like them! They are taking me 2-3 wks depending on how much t.v. I watch LOL. I am getting a head start on my christmas gifts, and it's helping spread out the expense too. This last one is another purple one and somehow I got distracted and I have to undo it, as it is much narrower at one end sigh.

Awww Shep, I was too busy taking pics, and then I ran out of memory before I could get someone else to take a pic of me with everyone. I never seem to think of it until after I come home Try it now, I added a pic of me with Nick from November. My brother is married to a Japanese woman and he does tv and radio as well as Japanese/english translation.

It's been awhile since I shared some pics. I took these at the park yesterday. My brother was here from Japan. We had a great time. Cassie my 11 yr old has the light brown hair and My sister is the girl with braces, my brothers are the older guys. Max is wearing the yellow shirt, and Jake is my red head. Nick is the baby. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sevenla...ybugs/my_photos

Thought I'd share pics of the afghans I've been crocheting. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sevenla...ybugs/my_photos

BRrrrrr sorry spring hasn't sprung for you yet Snowmom

{{{{{{{Mommy5}}}}} Hope you feel better soon! Tummy bugs are the worst

Snowmom I'm so happy to hear you're feeling somewhat better Hope things get better soon. I'm glad you're boss gets involved even if it's just by standing over their shoulders. I probably wasn't clear in my post that Max is also being diagnosed with the same condition. I won't get the official word until next tuesday on him, but the psychologist made it pretty clear to me unofficially that her recommendation would be to give him services as well. Anxiety and depression are a huge issue with older children with Autism spectrum disorder. I know in this case it's not the teacher. He's wonderful, and there are parents in there all the time volunteering including Max's Dr. She has a son in the same class. Based on her recommendation I am going to ask that Max have an aide that works one on one with him.

{{{{{{Snowmom}}}}} I'm sorry you are in so much pain So they are going to work on that with him. This school has been excellent so far in doing their best to help so I feel very lucky.

Snow I do hope your grandkids get to come visit you soon. It must be so hard to see them so disappointed

Welcome Back

Yes this medicine has kicked my depression in the rear
