We got cable today!!!

I can now watch my favorite shows on ABC without having to watch a day later. To bad I didn’t get it before the season finale of Bachelor and Grey’s Anatomy.

Don’t Laugh At Me

Author: Lou  //  Category: Life, Lou's Soapbox

Why do we look at children who are different funny?

You would expect stares from children. They don’t know any better. Stares from adults are another story. In my short teaching span, I have seen adults, even teachers give these stares. It is very disturbing to me. Sometimes, I make excuses for them, such as they are not around it like I was. (I have lived with an autistic sister all my life.)

There is really no excuse!

I encourage you to listen to this song. It brings tears to me every time I listen to it. I can just hear children, like my sister, saying this.


My Family

You don’t need to adjust your glasses. You are seeing correctly. This is my family and yes they are black. Mom just spilled bleach on me. Just kidding.

Some people were wondering when I have them in pictures or mention them in blogs. The Gayfield’s have always been my second family. They have always supported and treated me as their own. I would not trade them for anything. I used to babysit their children and they just couldn’t get rid of me after that. They just shouldn’t make really good pork chops and rice with cheese.

Teenager Already?

She’s starting early on being a teenager.

 

Just to explain: Ashton loves to give Kaylee toys while she is sleeping. I think he wants to wake her up in hopes that she will play with him. This would explain the Incredible Hulk that is also in the picture.
