Reviving the Blog

Lately I’ve gotten a lot of requests to revive this blog as it hits on a lot of the themes many of us are going through right now:

              I'm A Single Mom

• 
  

I'm a Single Mom raising a child who happens to have Down Syndrome

• 

  

I’ve massively changed careers and made the decision to follow my dream (and need for job security/health benefits) go to Nursing School.

And with ALL that going on, our life is pretty fantastic!

  

  And sometimes utter chaos!

Every day Max and I are facing great rewards and challenges that many of you are facing both within and outside of our Down syndrome community. 

I’ll be honest and I’m generally positive, and I’ll try to answer all your questions. Throw topics out to me, and I’ll try to get to all the ones you’ve already suggested.  We have a lot of creative solutions, and at times we are desperately in need of a creative solution!

***There are some things that will NOT be addressed, such as the origin of 50.5% of Max’s genetic makeup. Also, I have a strong preference for the serial/Oxford comma, so if these things bother you I can’t help you.

But you are welcome to share our journey into IEPs, transition to kindergarten, medical specialists, therapies, concurrent disorders (sensory, auditory processing), milestones, the evils of Nursing School, Gluten-Free/Casein-free eating, and the all-important time management (and sometimes lack thereof)...and hopefully we all can learn from each other along the way.

So have patience as I find my voice in this Down syndrome/special needs blogging community (and blog hop :) and keep sending ideas!
