If there is something I love, it's a NEW day. After yesterday and my little guy with Down syndrome falling down the stairs... I certainly WELCOMED this morning! Although, I'm sure I drove my son crazy today as I felt like a mom with a catcher's glove on all day racing after my dare devil four year old.
I have found myself locking all doors, putting up gates, and basically following the guy around with every move he made today. Ugh! I think I've been more damaged by this incident than him. He's running around, climbing up on his little table, and just jumping like nothing ever happened. So now I'm a helicopter parent hoovering over him like a mother hawk.
My goal has been to get this little guy to Disney by next year. So I began trying to learn how to set up a business on the internet. Okay so I'm forging forth in the dark like a little train going into a very dark tunnel saying "I think I can, I think I can, I know I can... I will!"
Time management these days is the key, and it's not easy with an active four year old.
I haven't figured out this site exactly, but then again I'm not on here every moment of the day either. Tarotqueens is my business and I've been trying to learn how to jump through new hoops...but I'm like the little puppy who sits there and whines as they set the hoops on fire sometimes. I've believed life is what you make it, and I'd like to make it very pleasant for my little guy and that means finding my own niche and business. As I looked at my site, I'm proud of the pictures I took in TN of the water rolling over the rocks.... gosh that's my serenity... and peace. I sit back thinking I should have just been a professional photographer and writer. Oh it's most likely like being a poor poet. I love to write poetry and I've gotten some published, but chances are it won't be noticed until I die. Isn't that just the way it is for poets?

It's been a humdinger of a day! My little guy with Down syndrome fell down the stairs today. I moved into this old farmhouse which has two staircases... one in his brother's room. Of course, when an older brother has a drum set it's just a lure to little guys. 
My little guy has iris and retina coloboma in his one eye. This means that his eye didn't form right in the womb. He can manage to get up the stairs fine, but going down the stairs is a whole other issue. I had thought about putting up a gate but there is nothing to really attach it to. I was thanking God today that the stairs do have carpeting on them, and I'm certainly thankful that my little weeble must have just wobbled down those stairs like a little ball. One very tiny little scratch above his good eye. I am SO THANKFUL he is okay.
My goal lately has been to get him to Disney by next year. Today I'm just counting my blessings! | |

As a mom of five awesome children, you learn to give choices. "Kids we are having water tonight with dinner... what will it be? Sink water, dish water, puddle water, toilet water, or flavored water (kool aide)." I've learned that you always have to keep them guessing what Mom will say or do next. It just makes life more interesting, and heaven knows they have certainly kept me on my toes!
Key to happiness...KEEP LAUGHING no matter what they throw at ya!  | |
