Yet Another Beginning

Well Peeps,

It definitely has been a while since I have last posted much of anything. I am finally slowly regainning control of things and they are slowly starting to look up. Ummm gosh, where do I start.... well I am in the process of getting a divorce.... let me tell ya I'm relieved at that. I have also met someone new. He happens to be the most amazing and wonderful person that I have the honor of knowing. He's sweet and caring and funny and can make me smile no matter how down on my luck I feel. He's going to school for BioTech which is a very admirable profession. Okay well before I get carried away on him.....lol....I'll let y'all know I have something in the works for ya and hope to have it up soon.

*hugs*

New Kit and an Announcement

Hey Peeps,

I know it has been a while since I have posted a kit, but guess what I have one for y'all now YAY!!!!.

But before I post it I just wanna tell you all that we had a blast for Halloween. Tyler-Dean went out as a Pirate and Damien-Cael went out as Spiderman. We were only out for about 45 minutes but they got a good haul lol.

Oh and a bit of pride here, my lil boy Tyler-Dean has made it into the newspaper. He was in it for the upcoming Autism Telethon to be held in our town.

Now for updates on Tyler-Dean's Autism. Well Tyler-Dean had a visit from P.O.P.A.R.D (Provincial Outreach Program for Autism and Related Disorders). They are there to help fine tune Tyler's intervention and his integration into school. They said that Tyler was a wonderful delight to observe and that they had a hard time not interferring with what the Educational Assistant was doing. Tyler-Dean is a very stressed out little boy and has an overwhelmingly high level of Anxiety. So now we have to try and keep an eye out for symptoms of a meltdown and try to prevent them before they happen. That will be interesting.

Now for my Announcement!!!! Well, I have thought long and hard about this and well, Tyler-Dean's funding is going to be cut back from $20,000 a year to $6,000 a year and that doesnt' cover barely anything. Right now he gets treatment 4 days a week for about an hour and a half. When it gets cut back they can maybe get him once a week for an hour which is not nearly enough for him to progress....sooo..... From now on anything I sell in my store at Scrapping Whispers will be donated to Tyler's autism intervention. I will even keep updating you all on how much funds have been raised in his honor. I will also be adding a donation button on my side bar. Please DO NOT feel that you have to do it. It is only there if you feel you want to.

So now onto the Freebie!!!!

This is called Autumn Dreams and Tyler-Dean helped me pick the colors, I hope you like.

Life never stops

Hey Everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since I have last posted. A lot has happened since I last posted. My wonderful boy, Tyler, has started school. He seems to be doing quite well. they now have him in the classroom full time and he is also spending the full morning now with the children. It seems that he actually has made a couple of friends also. I am so excited for him. He even got invited to his first birthday party. Unfortunately he couldn't go because he was having a "bad" day and it wouldn't have been good for the other children if he went. Tyler even had his school pictures taken and they are beautiful. I will have to scan one for you all to see. I'm just so proud of him. He even asks for school on the weekends.

Right now I am making a plan with the aide, the life skills teacher and his classroom teacher to make a presentation to the classroom about Tyler and his Autism. The children know something isn't "right" with Tyler, but they still treat him as an equal which is wonderful. We are going to be there to explain that Tyler is just like them; he loves cars, coloring and movies and he loves to play and sing and loves to play on the computer just like they do, but the difference with Tyler is that he has moments where not everything seems the same for him and he has a "meltdown" and we will be explaining what a meltdown is. We will also warn them about him being impulsive. But we will probably describe it as stubborness because that's how it shows most of the time. It should be great.

Also since then I have celebrated my 6th Anniversary with my wonderful husband, Grae. We also celebrated my youngest son, Damien turning 3 years old. It was fun and I have never seen a child so excited to get clothes for his birthday LoL.

Finally, I have also had a major surgery. I had a hysterectomy. I was in the hospital for 2 days and am still recovering. I am off work now until the middle of November. I am going stir crazy as I have been off work since the 24th of September.

I have been working on a freebie for you all and should have it up soon.

Take care everyone and thank you for the compliments.

*hugs*
