January 2, 2012

The second day of 2012.  I spent the day reading and watching TV.  I loved watching the Rose Bowl Parade this morning with J.  He was giddy and talking about how great the floats were.  This was a day comes few and far between with J.  After the parade we watched a lot of HGTV and the new dream house they have built in Utah.  I think J would like our family to win that dream house, so we will enter to see what happens.

Now as I sit here on my sofa at 9pm my boys are in bed. They get to go back to school after Christmas break. It will be nice to have the boys back in school. One reason this is good is because J will be back in a routine. A will be able to see his friends.  I am looking forward to them getting back into the routine of studing again and getting ready for their finals that are coming up to signal the end of the first semester.

• I don't make resolutions, but I have some things that I want to accomplish and see done in 2012.
• J graduation in May from high school
• My graduation in Dec from college. Yes at the age of 41 (1/2010) I went back to school to finish my Bachelors degree and then I hope to complete my Masters degree
• Find a job, since I have been out of a job for over a year.
• Maybe start my own business.  I am thinking of a character letter business where I would send out letters to children from Tom Turkey, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, or any number holiday characters I can think up.

I am also making the conscience disscussion to write every night. I want my kids and others to have an insight into my life.  When you have a child with Autism it makes for an interesting life as you never know what could happen from day to day.
