Last night, Anna came out to ask me if she could have this for dessert....
it made me laugh!
Mother's Day...
Anna has redefined what a mom is for me. Before and when I was pregnant I had ideas of what motherhood would be like. Boy, did Anna throw a curve ball in my life. Having a child with autism has been heartbreaking, rewarding, difficult, frustrating, joyous, the list goes on and on. But because of Anna I have become a stronger and more resilient person than I ever knew I could be. She has made me experience love on a whole different level. Most importantly, not to take anything for granted and to count every little blessing in my life.
Plans for Mother's Day...
We are taking my mother in law out to lunch to a Vietnamese place sil suggested the place. Then Eric, Anna and I are planning to head out to 3rd street in Santa Monica and then go to Urth Cafe. I've been craving their coffee and chicken curry sandwich for a while so I can't wait!
Weather here in Irvine has been weird. Last week it was so hot that two of my herb plants died! Then this week it was overcast. This morning it even sprinkled a tiny bit. Hopefully, the weather tomorrow will be nice.
Sunday, I am going to a small bridal shower in Pasadena.
IEP...
Anna's IEP is next Wednesday. I would love to say that it doesn't stress me out, but the eczema flareup on my ear (I know gross) says otherwise. I want some changes in her program and I have been talking to her teacher about them for a while now. There are some things that they are trying to take away and we are requesting that they pay for another session of private speech. I just found out that one of the head honcho's at the district is coming to the IEP. I know its a scare tactic, but they don't know me. I don't get scared or nervous about things like that. If they wanted to make me nervous they should send in Anthony Bourdain, Eric Ripert or Bono :)
