Commenting, where I beg. Thursday, June 11, 2015. Too Many Good Things. I don't like it when too many good things happen in a row. It makes me feel nervous". Essie the Accidental Mommy. Links to this post. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Everything You Ever Wanted. When someone asks you "how has it been now that you've adopted your son/daughter"? The answer is supposed to be "Its everything I ever wanted", which makes the phrase a great title for Jillian Laurens new book, Everything You Ever Wanted. Must Keep Fac...

The Accidental Mommy: November 2014
http://theaccidentalmommy.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Commenting, where I beg. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. I've worked with many children who suffered from the "trophy for showing up" trend, and the "criticize the action not the child" movement (prisons are full of people who believe they are disconnected from their actions! For them to have come to me at my former job in the first place meant they had severe problems getting through each day. But as we worked through the issues and would have success, one specific blockade was awfully durable. It bonked he...

The Accidental Mommy: February 2015
http://theaccidentalmommy.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Commenting, where I beg. Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Black Holes and Revelations. On our way to therapy last week, Genea started telling me a lengthy story about Daddy's shirt. It's from Denver, and he got it a long time ago. And when she asked him about it, and he told her, she remembered another question she'd been meaning to ask. Why didn't that other family want me"? Do you remember what we've told you? And so she understood, in her 11 year old Genea way, that it was not going to made sense. I'm...

The Accidental Mommy: March 2015
http://theaccidentalmommy.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Commenting, where I beg. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. I'm getting older than I used to be. I realized I'm not just. Exhausted and stressed, but that what I see is my actual face. Now Ugh. (If anyone saw my new FB cover pic, rest assured about the only thing still me in that pic is my head). Thanks to Seraphinalina for alerting me that the full video of shopping cart has been released. Woot! Here it is in all its glory Killer Karts. Her name is Bella. Bindi, now Bindi loves the baby. No one knows how that glo...

"You're Making Me NUTS": July 2013
http://allkidsarespecialneeds.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
You're Making Me NUTS". Wednesday, July 3, 2013. I've been thinking about this a very great deal lately. The Demie Diva was the greatest flower girl ever. She "forgotted" to "sprinkle" the petals. She kissed a wedding guest, aged nine, twice, and decreed that she would marry him. Mostly, though, she showed everyone how much she loves her Rica and the new spouse. If she is very lucky, she will sit on the lawn at an Ivy League school, and watch that child graduate cum laude. At the rehearsal dinner, the br...

"You're Making Me NUTS": Where the heck have I been???
http://allkidsarespecialneeds.blogspot.com/2014/07/where-heck-have-i-been.html
You're Making Me NUTS". Monday, July 7, 2014. Where the heck have I been? It's a valid question dear reader - assuming, of course, that you're even out there. I have been in what can only be called "exceptional child hell". All of us know our children are exceptional.but when you have a child whose exceptionalities impact their otherwise exceptional self, you know what stress really is. I'm not going to whine, and I'm going to stay as objective as I can.but here's what we've been up to:. Thanks for the u...

"You're Making Me NUTS": September 2012
http://allkidsarespecialneeds.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
You're Making Me NUTS". Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Would the real grown-up please stand up? I've had a rough few weeks. Dealing with some shenanigans at work when it's early in the year does not bode well for the remaining 32 weeks. Dealing with those shenanigans when some of them are the result of adults (me included) not acting like adults.that part is just challenging. You see, super nanny quit after one day.

"You're Making Me NUTS": August 2013
http://allkidsarespecialneeds.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
You're Making Me NUTS". Sunday, August 18, 2013. Do we have an intervention for this? Personally, I blame Disney. She was "you be the prince" before she was a flower girl. NOW, however, it's exponentially worse. That, you see, is the Demie Diva's favorite play. She gives me marrying necklaces. OR she's the mommy and I'm the sweetie.and she tells me I get to watch her wedding (projection, much) and she is going to marry Grandpa. That's right, folks. And so, over the course of the month, the Demie Diva got...
