YOU

You should be ashamed of yourself, lying to a 10 year old boy straight faced the way you did! Yes I have an autistic child, yes his siblings know he's autistic. It is not your place to confirm or deny this, it is the doctors and it has been confirmed. I'm sorry you cannot accept it and I really don't give a damn anymore what you say or think. Your approval and opinions are not needed, nor desired in this household. I will not lie to my children for you and I find it reprehensible that you felt it appropriate to do so yourself!

Really???

Why is it that if people know the outcome of doing ignorant things that they still do them? Why? You have a brain in your head, obviously, you are walking and talking so it's working on some small level. Take 10 seconds to think about your actions and the consequences they may or may not have before you go jumping into the action itself. It's not that hard to do and it certainly does not take long. It could also extend your life and make it a better place for you live. Yet you still do the stupid crap and you think you should be pet and picked up and have the world handed to you after you do the stupid crap you do! Don't call me next time, don't come to my house, don't bring your stupid crap around my house and kids! I want my kids to use their minds!

A Winter Story (From a yahoo group I'm in, had to share)

The Diary of a Snow Shoveler
August 12:
Moved to our new home in Minnesota. It is so beautiful here. The landscape is so majestic. Can hardly wait to see it with snow. I love it here.

October 14:
Minnesota is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turned all the colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful country and saw some deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the most wonderful animal on earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.

November 11:
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here.

December 2:
It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looked like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and when the snow plow came by, we had to shovel again. What a beautiful place. I love Minnesota

December 8
6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the. Wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon The snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in The driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm Glad he's our neighbor.

December 14
Snow lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, But I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is The life!  The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way.

December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought Snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the ! Freezer.  The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all.

December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my butt on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like heck. The wife laughed for one hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.  Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her.  Man, I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20
Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the white stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Darn snowplow came by twice.  Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white crap fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to poop. By the time I got undressed, pooped and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the jerk is lying.

December 23
Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she nuts!!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24
6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the man who drives that Snowplow I'll drag him through the snow by his nose and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been!
Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the snowplow.

December 25
Merry -bleeping- Christmas! 20 more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26
Still snowed in. Why the heck did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze, plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. THE WITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver he is now suing me for a million dollars not only for the beating I gave him but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up where the sun don't shine. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.

December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed? @*! +#%;

Seriously? How in the heck can this stuff happen? OMG!

He's Gone

He has passed away. He went to be with God on November 2nd, 2010 @ 2:32 p.m.; he went peacefully.

Update 10/28

He was admitted after going to the ER today and is in ICU. If anyone reads this any prayers or healing and good vibes would be appreciated greatly.

Update 10/26

Even with the stint he is unable to eat and his vomiting has persisted. If it continues through tomorrow he will have to go back to the hospital. He has lost approx. 60 lbs at this point and I'll be surprised if he's here on Thanksgiving. I hate to see him suffering so much. I don't know what to say or do, we visit as often as we can but we've had some sickness travel through our own house that has put us out of visiting for a week at one point. He's weak enough without having step throat on top of it and my four kids passed it around like candy on Halloween.

Update

So they put a stint (sp?) in his esophagus so that he can at least swallow food. Another gallon of fluid was drained from him, that's 2 gallons and a quart in less than a month. The odds aren't good but we're going to do the best with whatever time we've got left.

The doc visit....

Well he went to see the doctor and they said that most often with this cancer the person usually has 3-6 months. But with his advanced state they could not even give 3 months. We were told to enjoy every moment we could with him and keep things around him as peaceful as possible. You cry and cry, knowing whats coming but still you always have hope. To have it laid out in such a manner before you is a fresh blow to an already damaged emotional grid.

With everything wrong in this world that can't be helped and healed why is it that so many epic fails are happening? So many children and ppl gone missing and yet no one knows where they are. I find this disturbing, nauseating, and heartbreakingly sad.

He goes back to see the doc tomorrow

So he goes back to see the doc tomorrow and they will see how fast his cancer is progressing and give us a time frame. He's gone down so fast that I just don't think he'll be here come Christmas. It's in so many places and he's just so weak now. He can't be up and about for more than 15-20 minutes and he's got to lay down and rest, catch his breath. I'm trying to keep a brave face. Keeping the little things done around the house here so nothing will pile up too bad if I have to be with mom for a few days or so. The details of his burial and such have already been decided, he's getting his affairs in order just like the doc told him to do last time he went. I told mom that I wasn't sure I wanted to know what the doc said tomorrow but I do. She told me if I didn't want to know she'd keep it from me. But I do want to know, I want to spend as much time with him as I can. I love him, the kids love their Pawpaw. He's a great man.

Be click happy here, help the world.

Watching the downward spiral

Well we spent the day with them yesterday and his cheeks have taken a sunken in appearance now. Mom was upset and after a bit of crying I actually managed to make her smile, having the kids there for the day seemed to help her. He seems to be handling it well mentally and emotionally, he's getting everything done so when he dies mom won't have to worry about it. Cremation, no funeral, these are his wishes. Although he's said that the immediate loved ones could get together and have a small memorial. And his last wishes will be honored, there will only be a small memorial. He finds out next week what kind of a time line we're looking at. I am trying to be there for mom all I can. She's a strong woman and I'm sure she'll handle this in her own way but I am also sure that I will always be there. It's all I can do now I guess, just be there.

Terminal

Well they did it, they used a horrible word, terminal. They told him to get his affairs in order. The cancer is too far gone to even treat at this point. My hubs and I are taking the kids over tomorrow and we're spending the day. My mom is still not in too good of shape and she needs me to help with some things just in case she has to call Hospice in. I am taking my camera and tripod so I can get some pics of him with the kiddies while we're there. I'd like to get a pic of him and my mom together, something for her. I am hoping I can make it through the day with him without a complete breakdown, he doesn't need that right now. He goes back to the doc on the 13th, they'll give him a time frame then, after they see how fast it's actually moving. But he got a lot of his tests back and he's got cancer in his esophagus, lymph nodes, stomach, and pancreas. Yesterday they gave him 2 pints of blood and drained a gallon and a quart of fluid off his stomach in an effort to make him breather better. He was supposed to get a flu shot but because he is terminal he was told he couldn't have it. I've cried on and off for days now, my eyes are puffy and I am just brokenheartedly depressed. He is pretty weak now and isn't expected ot make it till Christmas at this point but we will know more on the 13th. 

What do you do now?

They say he has cancer, that it's bad, all over. There isn't much hope and the old man (spoken affectionately) is dying. He's 76 and he's lived a full life but for years he's been a dad to me, a grandfather to my kids and even knowing how old he is I am heartbroken. I don't want him to die, I just can't fathom the thought of not being able to call and talk to him. I love that old man more than he will ever know, he's old school and I love you's aren't common place for him. He has cancer in his lymph nodes and stomach, and a mass that is now closing off his esophagus. He is having a bit of trouble breathing, he can't eat without throwing up. He's lost 50 pounds in a small amount of time, in short he's dying. What do I do now?

 

I found this (here http://www.stanford.edu/~bfenton/parenting.html) with Stumble enjoy.....

Preparation for parenthood...

It's not just a matter of reading books and decorating the nursery. Here are 12 simple tests for expectant parents to take to prepare themselves for the real-life experience of being a mother or father.

1. Women: To prepare for maternity, put on a dressing gown and stick a pillowcase filled with beans down the front. Leave it there for 9 months. After 9 months, take out 10% of the beans.
Men: To prepare for paternity, go to the local drug store, tip the contents of your wallet on the counter, and tell the pharmacist to help himself. Then go to the supermarket. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office. Go home. Pick up the paper. Read it for the last time.

 

2. Before you finally go ahead and have children, find a couple who are already parents and berate them about their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly low tolerance levels, and how they have allowed their children to run wild. Suggest ways in which they might improve their child's sleeping habits, toilet training, table manners, and overall behavior. Enjoy it -- it'll be the last time in your life that you will have all the answers.

 

3. To discover how the nights will feel, walk around the living room from 5 pm to 10 pm carrying a wet bag weighing approximately 8-12 pounds, with a radio turned to static (or some other obnoxious noise) playing loudly. At 10 pm, put the bag down, set the alarm for midnight, and go to sleep. Get up at 12 and walk around the living room again, with the bag, until 1 am. Put the alarm on for 3 am. As you can't get back to sleep, get up at 2 am and make a drink. Go to bed at 2:45 am. Get up again at 3 am when the alarm goes off. Sing songs in the dark until 4 am. Put the alarm on for 5 am. Get up. Make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

 

4. Can you stand the mess children make? To find out, first smear peanut butter onto the sofa and jam onto the curtains. Hide a piece of raw chicken behind the stereo and leave it there all summer. Stick your fingers in the flower beds, then rub them on the clean walls. Cover the stains with crayons. How does that look?

 

5. Dressing small children is not as easy as it seems: first buy an octopus and a bag made out of loose mesh. Attempt to put the octopus into the bag so that none of the arms hang out. Time allowed for this: all morning.

 

6. Take an egg carton, using a pair of scissors and a pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take the tube from a roll of toilet paper. Using only Scotch tape and a piece of foil, turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Last, take a milk carton, a ping pong ball, and an empty packet of Cocoa Pops and make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower. Congratulations! You have just qualified for a place on the play group committee.

 

7. Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. And don't think that you can leave it out in the driveway spotless and shining. Family cars don't look like that. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it in the cassette player. Take a family-size package of chocolate cookies. Mash them into the back seats. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There. Perfect.

 

8. Get ready to go out. Wait outside the bathroom for half an hour. Go out the front door. Come in again. Go out. Come back in. Go out again. Walk down the front path. Walk back up it. Walk down it again. Walk very slowly down the road for 5 minutes. Stop to inspect minutely every cigarette butt, piece of used chewing gum, dirty tissue, and dead insect along the way. Retrace your steps. Scream that you've had as much as you can stand until the neighbors come out and stare at you. Give up and go back into the house. You are now just about ready to try taking a small child for a walk.

 

9. Always repeat everything you say at least five times.

 

10. Go to your local supermarket. Take with you the nearest thing you can find to a preschool child -- a fully-grown goat is excellent. If you intend to have more than one child, take more than one goat. Buy your week's groceries without letting the goats out of your sight. Pay for everything the goats eat or destroy. Until you can easily accomplish this, do not even contemplate having children.

 

11. Hollow out a melon. Make a small hole in the side. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side. Now get a bowl of soggy Cheerios and attempt to spoon them into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane. Continue until half the Cheerios are gone. Tip the rest into your lap, making sure a lot of it falls on the floor. You are now ready to feed a 12-month-old baby.

 

12. Learn the names of every character from Sesame Street, Barney, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

When you find yourself singing "I Love You" at work, you finally qualify as a parent.
