cruise

Well come back to my weekly rampage or discussion on how my week went or how I want it to go. So for months now me and my husband have plan to take a cruise in march a weekend cruise for a mini honeymoon. And as you all already know baby sitting is very hard to come by. By a miracle my sister offered to stay the weekend with the boys so we could go on this cruise. Now usually when you want a couple days off you give at least two weeks notice from work, so just to make sure that they gave my husband those days off he sent the request day off forms in January two months before the cruise. As the weeks passed by we did not hear anything from his boss; so my husband called he told him he could not give him his vacation time because he needs a project to be done by the time that we planed for the cruise and why can't we just take it in April. I am furious, this man did not even give the him day off so we could move to another house, he complained saying why couldn't we move on Saturday instead of Friday. When we first go married he asked for that Thursday and Friday off for the wedding and he said " why cant you guys do it on the weekend". I understand employers have a right to deny you days off and so forth. But this man plans my family time and vacation. Only when is it convenient for him for our family to stuff. In the years my husband as worked for him he has never called out sick works more than 40hrs some days does round a clock shifts. He has not had a pay raise in over two years we don't have medical insurance because his boss is trying to save money. I am just upset and I wanted to post this because if there is any one who owns a company and has employees that are loyal, hard working and honest appreciate them do not under value them; good employees are hard to come by.

New Mom Syndrome

So my little William will be going to kindergarten next year. I can just tell you right now I am freaking out I feel like when I was pregnant and I did not know what to expect. If you don't know already my William has Autism and he requires whole different scenario when it comes to schooling. I'm so scared for him he is just so innocent compared to the five year old I have met. We really don't watch TV in my house we don't even have cable. And when I take him to the park the other kids don't really know how to play with him because sometimes he hums really loud or he flaps his hand. And let just be truthful kids can be awful. I once was locked in a bathroom because the school bully did not like my glasses. :( So I am feeling that new mom syndrome, where you just don't what to expect.

"Cliford, The Big Red Dog"

Hi again, so yesterday I spent the day at Williams and JJs' school. It started out as a regular day volunteering which I do quite often. Sometimes it seems like I'm the only mom who really does any volunteer work. While unpacking we found a Clifford costume and no one wanted to put the costume on and visit the classrooms. No this school is no ordinary school the kids are not older than five. These grown adults did not want to give these kids a little bit of make believe. And if you know me I love making children laugh or just being plain fun. So I dressed up as the big red dog and headed out to the class rooms. Children are usually afraid of people dressed up in costumes put for some reason when its Clifford children loose sense of fear. All the kids lit up like a Christmas tree and all started to run to me and it was the greatest feeling ever. I wish to ask everyone who is my follower on the blogs to just 1 or 2 hours of volunteer work anywhere. It is so heartfelt, children with disabilities are so much innocent than regular children in my opinion they still have that veil that god puts on all of our children.

Just overwhelmed

Last night was the first time back in class after a week of being off. The boys were running around like little wild animals and I still had to put them down and attend class which started at 8pm. Keep in mind that's there bed time... My husband would usually do it but he is on a business trip so I had to deal with bed duties. My son William is 4 and has autism and he has a routine he needs to stick to..lets just say that if he does not all hell brakes loose. JJ is my 2 year old that believes he is 16 and he is me in a little body so I guess its true what mom used to say... wait to you have kids its pay back; yea i can hear it now... So has my class started my older son decided to have a melt down because the spider man that he needs to have all the time was not standing the way he needed to stand for him (autism factor a little obsessive) then JJ decided to take the spider man and run, like forest gump just run thru the house mean while the Professor for the new class is talking about her stuff... I literally had a mini anxiety attack.. You see I don't have that family help with my boys; when i say this don't think that my family are not in my lives its just one of the those things that happens no babysitting and etc... But after my best girl friend came over with some wine and layed my boys down so i could finish at least what was left of my class. But nine the boys were knocked out and I had piece... I think sometimes how am I supposed to do all of this run the house, the boys attend school and etc.. then I just pray and pray loud and ask for the strength to continue for the future of my boys so they could have what I never did. And its all for them! I thank them everyday for giving me the fire I need to continue with my school....
