Request...

Thank you all for great posts during this course.
It has been a pleasure getting to know each of you. 

I have a favor to ask each of you.  My son, Owen, is going through some major genetic testing.  Would you mind saying a prayer to whom ever you pray to or ask for guidance for normal test results for him.  We pray that the white matter loss in his brain shows no progression, he continues to gain skills, and NEVER shows signs of regression.  Thank you all! 

My Supports!

I feel as though I have a wonderful support system.  My family is my rock.  They keep me going.  My children help me to be patient.  My husband helps me to find humor in things.  My parents keep me grounded.  I find comfort daily in my FAITH. 

I am a list maker.  Creating a list helps me stay organized and on-time.  It also allows me to calm down and be less anxious. Without my list, I get distracted, spend more, and lose my train of thought. 

I always make time to play with my kids each and every day.  While I often find myself being busy (often with homework...), I take the time to play with them.  I learn so much from their innocence, their attitude, and their patience with me.  It helps me to be the mom that I want to be.  I would be lost without my babies. 

I pray a lot during the day.  This helps me relax and comforted.  There have been times in my life when I have not prayed as much and I often find myself to be more uptight.  Prayer helps me find my inner peace.
