update on me

So I guess I have not been on here in awhile so I thought it was time to write. My friend Ciarra reminded me I had one of these accounts. Life has been rewarding and dissapointing for me lately.

I made huge steps about a month ago in getting the county to create a database for special needs kids so when they are called to the scene maybe the outcome will be a little bit better for those involved. There are to many horror stories of people getting shot because they did not understand what they were dealing with. So maybe I might have saved someone's life you never know.

On the flip side of things I have found out that my boys are not getting all that they are supposed to be getting through the school system and this concerns me greatly. My son Connor is for the most part non-verbal and to find out that he is not getting all his speech minutes saddens me. His number one goal in school should be improving his communication skills and without his speech therapy this is not possible. So I am considering now paying for extra services outside of school so my boys get all that they need.

I at least feel like I finally have a home in Bloomington now though. I have finally made great friends that I feel I can share with and that care about me. After I got out of college all of my friends left and then I was still here because of work and an ex boyfriend. I finally am happy about living in this town. I feel it is a safe place for my kids to grow up and I know that even though I am mad at the school system there are so many other places in town that can help my kids. I have found many of these places through the Autism Society of McLean County. I spend most of my free time helping that organization because it will only in turn help my kids and me as a parent.

Maybe I will start blogging more frequently again. It does help to write out my thoughts every once in awhile. So until next time.
