ADHD, DBD, CP, ASD (autism), ASD (heart deffect...now healed) all make up the alphabet soup I work with everyday. Each of my kids has had something or struggles with something everyday. Not listed above is an even longer list of acronyms and conditions we dealt with with our oldest before losing her from complications due to pneumonia. She was 2yrs and 7months old when she grew wings and left this world...but never left our hearts! That's why I call it "Alphabet Soup"!

Another Day
Is there anything more peaceful than the silence of early morning as my family sleeps? You'd think I'd be eager to stay curled up my comfy bed as long as possible while everyone sleeps, but this has become my favorite time of day. I've come to cherish the early mornings, a cup of coffee, the complete silence (aside from the local news chatting away) and the overall peacefulness at this time. I've been sitting here thinking about the kids and how much fun they both had last night playing with their daddy on the living room floor. Abigail played so hard that it didn't take long for her to fall asleep when she went to bed and that's a miracle!
I'm amazed, touched, overwhelmed, humbled, and speechless when I think about how much God has blessed me. I have a sweet, funny, sometimes (ok, often) goofy husband that loves me and the kids with all of his heart, the most beautiful children anyone could ask for, another one on the way, the most amazing Godly parents, a beautiful warm hearted sister, wonderful extended family and friends, and so much more. I may be far from financially "rich", but I have something worth more than money or gold. I have my family and friends that God has blessed me with. I have my relationship with God, through which He's teaching me more and more everyday. I'm rich with God's love and all of the many blessings He's given me and that's a wealth that's worth more than all of the gold, silver, or cash that the world has to offer. Thank you Lord for EVERYTHING!

I want to be an early bird like you... I just can't seem to drag my butt out of bed. And when I do, I wake the kids up as soon as I open the bedroom door so then the silence is gone. :(
