Family Fridays Dozens and Dozens of Crayola Box Cousins

Keeping up with the Shultz Family and 

Lori at Peterson St. Louis are hosting Family Fridays!

 

I'm a little tired today so I am going to do my Family in Pictures. My Family is a mixture of all Races. My Bio-Family, My Sisters Bio Family and Our Adoptive Family have all Merged. My Parents set the Foundation and did a lot of the work to raise us as accepting, loving, and peaceful people.... That Rock!!! I consider them to always sit at the head of the Table in my Heart. They have done wonderful about keeping in contact and allowing us access (at an appropriate age, me Junior High) to our Families. They maintained contact so I wouldn't have to shuffle later in life and try to figure out where I came from. I've been asked my story by a lot of Bloggers lately and I will do a post soon.

For now here is my...

The Terror got a lil' something special today too! He was featured on Faces Of Autism

Special Exposure Wednesday Yeah!

Special Exposure Wednesday is a Meme from the 5 Min for Special needs Website. My 3 year old Tafari is Autistic. We call him "The Terror" not because of his Autism, because of his Age... and personally he is part of this family, therefore he doesn't get a pass from us with bratty kid nicknames!

We moved this week and The Terror got a new Elmo chair and table set from Grandma. And guess what.... Wait for it.... This is huge.... Are you ready?..... HE SITS IN IT AND EATS!!! BY HIMSELF!!! Okay he still will only eat limited foods and is really picky. For example, he will only eat hot dogs that are Oscar Meyer, the darker ones.. and will only take them cut in half or whole so he can tear it in half.... but... HE SITS IN HIS OWN CHAIR AT HIS OWN TABLE AND EATS (with the exception of Raisins on the floor for Supah's Survivor Challenge)!

If you know anything about Autism and Special Needs Children.. THIS IS HUGE!! See for yourself....

Okay I'm Tired Now.....

Please Visit Special Exposure Wednesday 
at 5 min. for Special Needs

All About MEme Monday : YOu can Quote Me ..

Join SupahMommy and MommyBrain in MEme Monday Fun!

My Favorite Quote:

"Every saint has a past 
and every sinner has a future."
~Oscar Wilde 
 

Why is this My Favorite Quote?

It baffles me when uber religious people chastise 

those who don't believe as they do, or live according to their word.. whatever happened to "love thy neighbor?" not love thy neighbor only if thy neighbor is a carbon copy of you.

It baffles me how when someone quits anything

...ciggarettes, drinking, drugs, lose weight, etc. 

they get on the "I did it why can't you" bandwagon".

It baffles me when people do not allow others 

to find their own way.  

It baffles me when grown folks make every thing about race... you should know better!... we are one community and how will our children learn if you don't STFU... yes it still continues, we know this, just change shyt in your home for the next generation... there are more pressing topics to pursue.. like Cancer, Autism, Seniors that have worked all their lives only to get phucked by the HealthCare System!
