It is almost Mother's Day so for all you other mother's out there I hope you have a very special Mother's Day. I love that we have this day to recognize our mothers and to be recognized ourselves for all that we do.
I was sitting here tonight playing Spider Solitaire thinking of when my youngest son was first diagnosed with autism six and a half years ago, only a parent who has been through it knows the grief you must first go through before you can move forward. I was having some work done on my office PC and the technician working on it had been to my cube several times before. I knew he was a christian, but I really did not know him at all that well. I mentioned that my son had just been diagnosed and I will never forget his words to me that day; He paused what he was doing as if searching for his words and he said, "God must have thought you were a special person". I will never forget that moment and when times start getting rough I think back on his words to me and it always helped me through.
I know that God spoke through him that day to me to let me know that he is there with us on this journey. To all of you other "special" mothers, and to all mothers and want to be mothers have a wonderful Mother's Day and God Bless You and your families.

Pins & Needles
Everything that ever happens to me seems to come in droves. It is impossible for things to happen individually for me. That would be too easy.
Last week I noticed a position open at work that I am interested in. I have been in my current position for six years and I am ready for a change. I applied for it in the middle of the week. They called me the very next day and wanted me to interview that day. Of course I was not dressed for an interview that day, so I rushed home at lunch to change clothes. The interview went really well and now I am on pins and needles awaiting their decision.
I have also decided to go back to school this summer. I had taken a year off because my son was having problems in school. While I was appyling for the position online, I was on the phone with the college to get re-enrolled. I went to meet with an advisor Friday and she was very rude. She asked me if I was on the twenty year plan, this was after I told her I have a full time job, a husband, two kids (one of which is Asperger's), and so on. I wanted to have some sarcastic retort, but I was not sure who she was in the department so I did not want to step on any toes that I may need to carry me later. I am so glad I kept my mouth shut because, as it turns out, she was a professor in the department and in charge of one of the areas I may need. I became so indignant at her statement that I registered for a full course in the fall. I may back out closer to time, but she really got under my skin.
So, that was how my week went last week. I have been sitting and waiting for the phone to ring and debating whether I can handle school and a new job with everything else I have going on in my life. I guess we shall see. Just when I think I have enough to handle I got a letter stating I have been selected for Jury Duty. When it rains it pours........
