Hilarious! I can relate. Sometimes the only socializing I get is talking with the special services/ed people!

thanks for the laugh
just finished writing on my own blog along this line, then clicked on this. ROFL!!!! You said exactly how I feel. Too funny! Thanks.
Oooo yes! You and me both dearie. Definitely in need of a break and preferably not one in England!

I LOVE this post! My granddaughter is on the autism spectrum and it can be rought sometimes. Levity is good!
rough, that is
This is great, it’s nice to see all “the stuff” in another light.. the light of humor!
I wish that parents’ of kids that aren’t special needs, would look at their kids and see them with love and humor!
Most of the mom’s I know, who have special needs kids… have learned to value the moment–I just wish other parent’s would value the small moments also!
thanks for the laugh!
If I didn’t laugh, I’d cry a lot more often! This one was easy to write…mainly because I NEED A BREAK!!!
I look forward to my son’s therapy almost as much as he does because it means I get adult conversation with someone besides my husband.
LOVE this…….thank you
LOL

Great List!! I can SO relate – especially during summer.
