and the irony of being up at 5:00 am on the first official day off from school isn't lost on me!
lot's of things going on here in our little neck of the world. most of them wonderful. with the transition from school to summer mr. autism always rears his little head. (yes, we named his autism. really just added mr. because when "he" is around "he" demands authority and respect!)most days, we can even forget that he lives with us. bumbleboy triumphs on as though he does not live with mr. autism, they typically can coexhist peacefully now. then a change occurs, a transition takes place - and wam, bam, thank you ma'am - MR. A appears and disrupts our world. but i am NOT complaining. in the world of autism we have it very easy. his progress far outweighs his delays at this point. he IS winning this battle. we are blessed by that.
summer brings weekly tae kwon do, summer soccer camp, me working 3 days a week, redecoration of ladybug's room, lots of work/upgrades being done to our home, two birthdays, and a family trip to florida. it's going to be a very busy blast!
best of all, well for the moment anyway:
i have a new favorite summer song. i listen to it often, very loudly. it makes me smile and think of her, of us. it's the best sum-up-of-us-song i've heard in a long time. i'm gonna sing it daily, like it's our new anthem.

If It's Love......by Train
While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it
My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an idle singer
Remember winger
I digress
I confess you are the best thing in my life
But I'm afraid when I hear stories
About a husband and wife
There's no happy endings
No Henry Lee
But you are the greatest thing about me
[Chorus]
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, Love
That's enough for me
Took a loan on a house I own
Can't be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy ya everything
Except cologne
'cause it's poison
We can travel to Spain where the rain falls
Mainly on the plain side and sing
'cause it is we can laugh we can sing
Have ten kids and give them everything
Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face
[Chorus]
You can move in
I won't ask where you've been
'cause everybody has a past
When we're older
We'll do it all over again
When everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
Then the rest is just whenever
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me

so glad you're back! love to read your posts.........transitions are so hard, aren't they? especially for those who rely on the sameness of structure and routine....hopefully the new summer routine will be pleasing to mr. autism, even if takes a bit of time. ;)
