Journey Beyond Survival

I hope it doesn't matter that it's been a week or so since my post on her...but I do have a fabulous special needs daughter.   THIS   and   THAT   are my most recent musings on Special Needs parenting. I'm not sure what I think about either one. It's about being out in public.   Thanks to Sunday at Adventures in Extreme Parenthood   I can handle this blog hop on a week as crazy as this.  I'm excited to visit all these excellent blogs.

Even if you decide not to do it, I hope you'll bear with me.  Because of the Beast, I'm going to have to go sugar free through at least the New Year.  I should be able to have fruit in a couple more weeks or so, and some dairy and normal carbs.  It's going to be really hard though. Speaking of the Beast , it seems to be working. Hallelujah!!! So after I finished writing this post, I immediately went and ate a bowl of date pie with ice cream, a gourmet carmel apple, and a candy bar.  I kid you not.  Nor do I exaggerate.  I'm so relieved to have the Beast tak...
