Wow, lots of heavy stuff going on here....

As for MJ and the clondine, etc...it is a lst resort (as pople who know us in person will attest to) I do use other methods when possible, brushing, redirecting, etc....but sometimes it just doesn't work and I have no choice, she is self-injuring and other-injuring when she gets going...which happend last night (again)

As for therapy, etc...we've been unsuccessful finding anyone who will deal with MJ. Even though she is homeschooled, her Neuro told us to go ahead and register her for school (she doesn't *have* to be registered until next school year) that they have to provide therapy, (they are required to from the age of 3) When I called them last month they told me to call again in July that they wouldn't register her now...so much for helpful.

I realize that a huge majority of teachers are fabulous, but we've had 4 teachers in the last year arrested for abusing non verbal special needs kids. I wish there was a way to differentiate between them.

We've also been told that she is *too funtional* for a one to one aide, even though she has a feeding tube, cannot potty train, is self injuring, will hit others, only speaks in single words, ASL and PECS....The 4 ST's we've had here have all wante us to choose ONE means of communication (ASL, speech or PECS) for her and we won't do that, we will let her communicate any way she can (we are just thankful she is still trying to communicate)

We don't want her in a exclusionary classroom that wouldn't be good for her.

If you do know of any resources here in FL, we'd love to hear about them. CARD won't accept her, the school district is stalling us, we're still trying to get UCP to call us back. We're exhausted from trying to find anyone that will help us.

I'm always happy to answer any questions.

OT: This is a very contemplative time of year for us too...although we give up yeast...

((HUGGLES)) That's a lot you have to go through for MJ. But I really think she's a lucky little girl to have two loving parents who will do anything for her. Not every child is that lucky. Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers. I will gladly help your family in any way I can once I am in Florida permanently next year. :)

Hello everyone!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!

Just popped in to say a few things going on with me...

Well 1... my friend and I (the kid from the Macy's perfume story with me) went to the mall today just to look at engagement rings; because looking online you can't really get an idea for how big rings are and how much they really sparkle and what not. So... we looked and it helped a lot; I'm no longer thinking I need to go up towards 2 karats... its really big, almost 2 big... i liked a 1.41 karat a lot. Also; i do agree round does look a little bigger than square; so i think... it was tough to tell though, my friend thought square looked bigger...

Anyway; Disney proposal may not be happening... may not be financially plausible... and here's why...

We might move in together this summer!!! I said I'd never rent an apartment because I'm all for buying; but wherever allie goes to school she feels she going to get a lot of money in scholarships and what not and most likely will get money for housing and she can use it on apartments... and said I wouldn't have to pay rent. So... i'd pay for groceries and utilities which will still be expensive; but I'd rather live with her now and so... I could always do what I did with my TV and do like a 1 year no interest payments on a ring and go to Disney... or just not go to Disney to propose...

There would be another chance... my parents have a timeshare in Aruba and they're going to try to get a week in March (which is usually tough) so... they'll take what they can get; but if my luck works out, maybe it will be the same week as Allie's spring break and then I could do it in Aruba...

And... she grew up going to Aruba a lot so there'd be some magic there too...


My biggest fear right now though... my parents both know I don't wanna rent and expect me to live at home for at least two years, I told my dad allie and I have been thinking about moving in together when we were talking about the proposing thing back a month ago; but my mother will be absolutely crushed... and I don't wanna have to do that... :(

Still; exciting things coming up...

Oh and my second interview at John Hancock is this Friday... I'll let everyone know how it goes

:)

Hi Joe!
Good to see you again!
It's too bad your WDW proposal might not happen, but I'm sure no matter where you propose it will be very special.
Don't be too disappointed in your mom's reaction to the living together thing. It's new to her. Parents have a way of adapting to such things. When you're sure it's what you want to do, present your case to your mom and hopefully she will understand.
Good luck on your interview!

Sorry, 2008! I wish it was 2007.

I didn't know they had even made another one. I had heard that they wanted to but had not done it yet. That has been awhile back though. I glad it should be out soon.

Sorry everyone. I meant 2008 for the movie!:o Oh, and Bonny- if you are here I got a couple of days pushed back several hours to noon. The only major difference is that now I do not start until May 26 it looks like.
