Geez, if you find the source to download or upload the above...email me ASAP!! Between Bipolar Disorder/ADHD, Asperger's, Cerebral Palsy/PDD NOS...good grief, just pass the wine and chocolate. It's good to read that others understand...not that I wish any of it on anyone...but you know what I mean. :) P.S. I am apparently missing the award you mentioned, but my powers of observation are a bit lacking these days. “Now, what I need to do, is to artificially import that attitude to the other 99% of my day.”

Hmm that must be what I'm doing wrong...just kidding. I do try to use a little humor when it comes to my kids behavior especially my ADHD and his tantrums at almost 11.

I wish I had it all together, but I am unfortunatley more like the chicken with it's head cut off... you know... that really is a gross mental picture. Ew.

My son's OCD tendencies can be quite overwhelming at times--really. Sometimes I despair about how he'll manage them when he gets older! It's helpful to read this perspective. Great post.

I have to admit though that I thought I may have to hold my hand over the picture of the pencils to be able to finish reading your post (for me not him).lol Angharad - Thank goodness he listened! Around here you might see one in a weeks time unless you go downtown. Then you are still only likely to see one.
