Another day in the life with Zaber

Zaber is standing on the gate between the living room and kitchen flipping the light on and off

Me: Zaber, knock it off. You haven't been listening all night and I'm about ready to put your jammies on and put you in bed for the night."

Zaber laughs and continues with the light flipping

Me: Zaber, that's it I'M DONE!

Zaber: WHAT?!? ARE YOU BREAKING UP WITH ME?!?

Zaberisms

I spot Zaber putting his fingers in Mr. Butt's mouth

Me: "Zaber, don't put your fingers in Mr. Butt's mouth, what are you doing?"

Zaber: "I'm just giving him my boogers"

Skywalker's life plan

I went to Skywalker's parent teacher confrences. Happy to report that the teacher said he's doing FABULOUS, and actually making friends (which is HUGE for a child with Aspergers)
He had to complete a fill-in the blank type report for himself and then the teacher gave it to me at conferences. Here are some of the highlights of the report. (verbatim)

In SOCIAL STUDIES, we have been studying these TOPICS:
goeraphy and religion

The teacher quickly informed me that he meant REGIONS

Some special WRITING projects this year have been:
good because I never got an F on my spelling test and pretest

Yes, this thrills me as a parent. We don't have high expectations for our children. The funny part is the kid has never got below a B on his tests LOL

My educational GOALS and PLANS after my high school years:
live in Colorado So I can meet Rob Dyrdeck

Not exacty sure what Rob of Rob and Big is going to teach him, but I'm glad he's got his life planned out.

Three CAREERS that truly interest me right now:
A. fishing B. caster board C. sing Lady GaGa; "Poker Face"

I have now lost hope that this will be the child that takes care of us financially in our old age. Though he could have a wonderful career being a Drag Queen version of Lady GaGa

Drama and Death

I understand grief can make a person crazy.. totally get it. I think it's insane when people come out of the woodwork when someone dies and tries to take over.
This situation is going on with my friend Shai's aunt... she's a total nut job. She's in her 40's and posting her passive aggressive bullshit on Facebook. Really? If you were Shai's BFF you would know that Shai is all about drama free. I know she's looking down at her Aunt saying "You are on some bullshit right now, keep on walking". I feel so bad for Shai's BFF she's getting the brunt of the attacks.

When my mom died we had some major drama going on in our family. You know after everything got straightened out (TWO YEARS AFTER THE FUNERAL) we realized the only person that got hurt and lied to was my mom... all the while she's trying to fight off cancer. Now that is some bullshit!

H1N1 Not a media flu

I know all the hub bub about H1N1 gets on people's nerves. I too was like "Oh big deal it's just like the regular flu" and then Friday came and my mind was changed.
2 weeks ago my friend was put in the hospital for H1N1. She had a lung infection that she wasn't aware of and the H1N1 took over. She was put into a medical induced coma, then her kidney's failed, her lungs collapsed and after being stable for 2 days she passed away on Friday.

This friend was only 27 years old, a beautiful strong woman with her whole life ahead of her. She was going to school full time and living life to the fullest. She never was married, never had any children. Why does someone like that get taken away from us? Aren't their pedophiles that could be taken? Murderers?

I suppose the man upstairs needs the good ones. Knowing Shai she gave Him the what for.

RIP Shai keep smiling down on us... I can still hear that giggle.

I heart Halloween

Halloween is my FAVORITE... so I thought I would share some pictures. First are the pictures of the pumpkin I carved for work. It's not so much about the pumpkin as it is about the details... my favorite party is the "My Baby" picture frame... we won second place!




Here are my chil'n. With three boys it's not easy to get a great shot of them all at once... Zaber is the cowboy, Mr. Butts is the lion, and Skywalker is the grim reaper/phantom. Skywalker had eyes that would fade in and out red it was pretty cool.






Skywalker likes to make up his own jokes.... and they don't make sense and they aren't funny. So I'm kind of glad that he went trick or treating with his Nana and cousin.. because it's kind of embarassing.



Zaber's joke was "Why did Snoop Dogg wear a raincoat?"


"Fo' Drizzle"
