Today Is A Good Day

Expecting to send off for my original birth certificate today. Thank goodness that day has finally come. I am really hoping that I have the names right. The family that I have meet would be my half brother and sister. It would be disappointing to not be their sister for me, but I at least will make three more friends. Their mom as well. I am handling all the anxiety pretty well, because I don't want to get worked up on the possibility that I am wrong. I am continuing to say that I do think about it a lot. Well gotta get going. Talk again soon!!

Adoption Findings and Our Update

Hey Friends, how are you all doing? We are all doing wonderful here. I just wanted to let you know that after 29 years, I found the ex wife of my birth father, who has confirmed that I am his daughter. She has said that I have is eyebrows, and that Devin my youngest son looks just like him. I am happy that we have finally made some progress on finding my birth parents. They are Gus Lapthorne and Rosalee (Dodd) Davidson. I wish that one of them would contact me, but for the mean time I am happy with what I do know.

Have you ever searched your name on the computer to see what you will find out. I bet you would be amazed at all the places that your name shows up on. Try it out and see what you can come up with. That is why on my other blog, Autism and The World Around Me, I put in a text box saying who I was looking for. Then when someone searched either one of their names, I came up as well. That is how she had found me. Awesome I think.

We had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day, and my husband would also wear green on this day. WOW never thought that he would do that one. We saw a lot of green that day, and I even got a gift box from Izea. It had a t-shirt in it, with other goodies. Thanks for the present Izea. It was so filled up with lots of green things and I enjoyed hanging the necklaces in my house. LOL.

We are still waiting on glasses for us to see. I hope that we will get them soon. These contacts are really bothering me, so therefore, I am impatient and wanting them today... guess I'll have to wait though. The boys are coloring velvet pictures that their case manager brought them this morning. I am enjoying the quiet time while I think to write.

I caught a video of Devin riding his scooter the other day, and I was amazed at the pattern of riding that he had. He would do the same thing over and over again. Silly boy!!

Well, the kids are about done coloring so I guess I'll get going as well. Hope you have a great day and come back soon.

Love you all,

Fever A Family Update

The weekend was terrible for the boys. Devin was outside for about an hour on a sunny day just a day after having his eyes dilated, which was worn off by now. He came inside and ended up falling asleep sitting upright. He was asleep for a good three hours and then woke up with a 103 degree fever. This was as if his body could not release the suns heat and gave him a fever for three days. Tylenol and a thermometer got us through the weekend.

I kept Devin home because he was still running a fever and Eddie went to school, then we had a problem. He was too warm with a 101 degree fever and a headache. When we picked him up he was crying/whimpering and holding his head. When he came home, we downed the Tylenol and sent him to the couch. He slept for just a little while. He is still running fever even at midnight when he woke up feeling bad again. His temperature did not change. As of this morning, his temperature is 100 degrees. He is laying on the couch watching G.I.Joe, and trying to rest.

Unexplained fevers. We seem to have quite a few fevers that just tend to pop up. So unlucky on that end.

Page Ranks Going Down Here Is a Recipe

A day to complain alright. Bloggers are dealing with Google Page Ranks being slashed. They hit my blog this morning. So sad. I've heard that they were doing checks, so maybe that is what is going on. All of my friends are having difficulties on way or the other. Not a good sign for business. Time to go digging in the recipe book and posting recipes up to share. Like this one:

A friend of mine sent this recipe to me, and I thought that I would share it with you.

GFCF Bread
3 eggs room temp
3 table spoons oil
1 1/2 cup of water, room temp
1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch flour
1 cup garbanzo bean flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
3 table spoons brown sugar, or white we just like the brown best
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
2 1/2 tablespoons rapid rise yeast
4 teaspoon xantha gum

Place wet ingredients in bread maker first, then dry, and yeast last. Set for short cycle, or rapid rise cycle. If you don't have a short cycle, use regular yeast for longer cycles or the bread will fall from too much heat time on the rapid rise yeast. Freeze sliced bread on a cookie sheet. When individual slices are frozen, put into a bag and store in the freezer, take out and thaw as needed.

Bread...makes a 2 lb loaf in a bread machine. I also use this to make hamburger buns and deli type bread. Just take it out once the dough has finished and before it bakes. It will be just about impossible to touch, so use a big spoon to dip out and put globs on a cookie sheet, size depending on if you need rolls or buns. Bake at 375 until hollow when thumped and golden brown.

Well, guess I'll be seeing you all around. Take care and keep on reading.

Still Confused

Well, I am still confused on what I want to do with this page, so please forgive me. One day I will figure out my other interests. I am still trying to get my thought process in order to find something of interest to me. So bear with me while I figure out this issue. I am not really sure what I am interested in, but I like to dig through articles and find things interesting. Maybe I can do something like that. I am not wanting this blog to really have a subject since it is my place for fun. So well see where we go from here. Wish me luck, and if you have any ideas then let me know.

What We Are Doing Today

Well, how are we today? Doing good I guess. Will be taking the boys to the doctor again today for a check up and to get occupational therapy for them at school for their handwriting and what not. Then I have to go to the school and meet with Eddie's teacher. Wonder what that will be about. He had threatened to hurt another little girl one day. He was off of his medicine for a few days, so it was obviously causing problems. We had a good Valentine's Day. I got an animal that sings You Wild Thing. A single white rose, and a perfect card. Devin got G.I. Joe toys and Eddie got another Transformer. Him and his dad loves Transformers. You should see my husband's collection. Our son has a great collection as well. They have always loved them. When my husband was small, it really took to the idea of Transformers. Once I was preg. with our first son, he started collection them again. I wanted him to come up with something for me about them, but he hasn't gotten to it yet. Hopefully I can get him to soon. Well, guess I'll go check that autism search for my other blog. See you around.

Decision to make this blog work for me as well

I've thought about keeping this blog private, but changed my mind. I am hoping that it will create more traffic for my other blog as well. I'll be doing adjustments to it like adding all my feeds, and blog catalogs and other things. Please be patient while I get this done. May take until Monday or so. It is always a busy Friday and weekend here. I am doing good by the way, but wish I had more time to get some things done and enjoy myself. Now it is just time to get the boys up and ready for school. See you all around here and there. Take care of yourself and remember safety first.

Our Day

Well, I got my posts up for my main blog. I'm happy about that. I had written them last night and got up early this morning to get one done. Once the kids were at school, I finally got the other one done. Guess I'm feeling good today. I've got my music going on yahoo messenger, so I feel much happier. I really haven't listen to much music since high school, so now I am trying to get back into that. The boys have pharyngitis and are on antibiotics again. I allowed them to stay home one day, but felt they should at least try to go some this week, or they would be overwhelmed with homework; especially Devin. His teacher gave us SEVERAL worksheets to do for homework this week. I really hope that I can get him to do them tonight. He usually won't do homework because he gets very frustrated with it, and ends up in a complete meltdown. Little Eddie is having problems with brother upsetting him; however, Eddie is just highly sensitive to his surroundings and environment. Yesterday, he was having to ride to the post office so dad can mail off stuff, and he was just out of this world with patience. Devin was also and just wanted to go home after school. I just had to try my best not for them to start fighting in the truck, even though Eddie did kick Devin and hurt him . He just wanted Devin to quit crying to go home.God I wish it was a three rowed seater so I can separate the two of them. Oh wow what a day that was.

Something about me I guess

I would like to thank all my readers of Autism And The World Around Me. You have been very loyal to my blog, and I wish it was more exciting, or at least more visited by others. This blog; however, is my vision of how I live and how I'd like to live within myself. I want this to be my happy place where I can feel at peace with myself and have fun. It's something I feel I deserve for all my hard work. This is a place where you can get to know me better, and see the world as I do. I love having everyone here as friends and I hope by doing this we can know more about each other. Me and my groupies that can also have a place here through your comments. So please do so, so I can feel connected to my friends. With me suffering from mental illness, it causes me to feel alone in such a huge world. Seeing communication with my online friends puts a smile on my face. I am one of the most understanding person who tries to help anyone that needs it. I am a very emotional person who has trouble controlling them, but my medication helps with all that. I am on Lexapro, Abilify, and Trazodone. Last summer, I was so wound up over my nerves that I would have stomach problems everyday. Boy that wasn't fun!! All I wanted to do was scream, and all I could do was to cry for help. I finally got that help and now I feel so much better.
