QUOTE (Cygnus The God Of Balance @ Jan 14 2008, 12:59 PM) Please don't think my comment indicated that I do not consider my son a blessing, because I most certainly do. I just had him later in life, and have two step children who are great, so that was why I made the comment about no more children. I completely love my son, and always will. However, I don't know of any parent of an autistic child who does not wish their child did not have Autism. I pray for my son every day, and pray for a cure every day too. I didn't take it to mean that you didn't love your son! I certainly sympathize with all the struggles you go through as parents of Autistic children. I guess we were just blessed because Justin is only moderately affected and such a joy Let's all pray that some day we can find a cure or at least the cause. For now we just love them

I wasn't walking with angels I was talking to myself Rising up to the surface Raging against the night Starless night Oh - sweet miracle Love's sweet miracle Of life

We had three more children after Justin and they're "normal". He is a blessing to the max though Hubby on the other hand definitely classifies as seriously OCD All we can do is Hope

Tunnel seems so long Touching the bottom A slim reflexion Punctured my vision I didn't notice Beside the last door Standing on nothing There was a mirror Even inside...scrutinized I am, he is, the face I hate Refracting cells and prismed self Who's x who's y in a blank place I can't believe this is my image Like the mirror without a frame Baring a scarred side Open in daylight Recoil and reply Farside of my pride The introspection Ruptures the blood core Magnification Draws out the mirror Seeking me out What will he find? I am, he is, a repugnant state I can't shake this curiosity My privacy starts to fade I can't believe this is my image Like the mirror A polar exchange He gloating over my fleeting image He used to be me He knows who is free How long will I wait...here Stuck in this void place...here I can't believe I am the immage Within the mirror Into the chrome lake The glass is broken But I look the same

It's raining outside

awwwwwww, miss those naps Justin is on his own schedule now, usually STILL up at 5:30 when I get up. At least we can have breakfast together. Keeping those vampire hours, grrr. He just gets so wrapped up in things, movie marathons, PS3 marathons... Stay up til he beats a new game. Try to have a sunny day!

Invisible to telescopic eye Infinity, the star that would not die All who dare to cross her course Are swallowed by her fearsome force Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized...at the core? Or through the Astral Door? To soar... I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the "Rocinante" Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery The x-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the black hole Gains control... Spinning, whirling, Still descending Like a spiral sea, Unending... Sound and fury Drown my heart Every nerve Is torn apart...

Get up in the morning Check out the weather If it looks like sun I get my things together Throw some cutoffs on Got my tank-top and tennies now And head for the beach Well I'm drivin' down the highway Losin' all my patience Pushin' all the buttons Tryin' to find a station With a screamin' jock Turnin' out my daily ration of (Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright Well I'm flyin' down the freeway Floatin' like a feather I've got my windows rolled down In the hot summer weather With my radio up loud Nothing makes me feel better Than some good rock 'n' roll (Good good, good rock and roll) Those suntanned girls are lookin' outta sight A beach-drenched chick Would never get uptight 'Cause when the sun goes down We'll be dancin' through the night and singin' (Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the pop back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everythin' alright It's time you heard some happy music God knows this world could really use a little sunshine So won't you make mine (Yeah) You know I need some more of that (Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright (Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright

We'll go pick him up and have dinner with my mom in a couple of hours, so right now I'm sitting in the recliner and watching the BBC miniseries based on Jane Eyre. *contented sigh* Recliner and a shut off part of brain You deserve a break http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii200/joanneeee/Justin/JustinandShadow.jpg Here's one of Justin with our Shadow, loved that dog Did I mention that Justin's first concert ever was The Test For Echo tour, at the Hartford Civic Center, mayor's seats, on Ged's side.......used to have connections I think he was a little overwhelmed but the earplugs helped, he rocked! Hope the day is good to you, being Monday and all

Love is real and not fade away

Where's my thing????????????

Hey now, baby, Well, I like your smile. Won't you come and talk to me for a little while? Well, you're makin' me crazy, The way you roll them eyes. Won't you come and sit with me? I'll tell you all my lies. Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight, I feel I'm in the mood. Hey baby, the hour is late, I feel I've got to move. Well, hey now, baby, Don't you talk so fast. I'm just tryin' to make these good times, I'm tryin' to make it last. Everything's getting hazy. Now honey, where'd you go? I just want to find out, baby...where'd you learn what you know? Well, hey now, baby, I said I like your style. You really got me, baby, way down deep inside. Ooh, you drive me crazy. Baby, you're the one. I just want to rock-and-roll you woman, until the night is gone.

QUOTE (Lerxster @ Jan 13 2008, 11:25 AM) Mal is doing well. I've been trying to teach him patience and it seems to be working. Once i open the door, he now stops pawing on the storm door and waits for food instead of continuing to paw. He can still be skittish, but he's good and looks healthy as tiger http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii282/Lerxster/DSCN4637.jpg awwwwwww marmalade Now time to post a pic of the elusive Edgar?

Still... I am.

I'm in motion I am still I am crying I am...still. I'm together I'm apart I'm forever At the start

Look! The mist is rising And the sun is peaking through See the steps grow lighter As I reach their final few Hear the dancing waters I must be drawing near Feel, my heart is pounding With embattled hope and fear Now, at last I fall before The Fountain of Lamneth I thought I would be singing But I'm tired...out of breath Many journeys end here But, the secret's told the same: Life is just a candle, and a dream Must give it flame The key, the end, the answer Stripped of their disguise Still it's all confusion And tears spring to my eyes Though I've reached a signpost It's really not the end Like Old Sol behind the mountain I'll be coming up again.

Another endless day Silhouettes of grey Another glass of wine Drink with eyes that shine To days without that chill at morning Long Nights, time out of mind Chorus Draw another goblet From the cask of '43 Crimson misty memory Hazy glimpse of me Give me back my wonder I've something more to give I guess it doesn't matter There's not much more to live Another foggy dawn The mountain almost gone Another doubtful fear The road is not so clear My soul grows ever weary And the end is ever near
