Too long gone

There is no excuse for not posting anything lately, except that I am the queen of procrastionation!!!!

Things have been fine in the Hill household.

With all threee children in school one would think I'd have completed a couple of novels by now, but I keep procrastionating and never get anything done.

I am hoping to change that now as I get my act together and try to accomplish something over the next few months.

Time goes by so quickly it seems like yesterday that I was a teenager and time is not going to stop just because I want it to. I do not want another year to have come and gone and me to have no writing to show for it.

I am currently working on a children's novel, working title: Saving Grand Maple Ashlar. It is basically a fantasy novel that started out as a story I told my children centering a round a tree in our back yard. This story idea has been weighing on my for over two years until i finally have decided that I need to just write the dang thing so I can move on to something else.

So I am off now. Children will soon be returning from school.

Toodles!

I need to get my act together

it has been so long since I've written on here.

Well the Pediatrician says My oldest son has aspergers...March we have a final appointment before full diagnoses. I must say I have considered cancelling this appointment because my son fears having anything wrong with him. He's to the point that he won't sit next to my younger son because he doesn't want people to think he has autism too.

He's doing much better in school...aside from trying to make deals with the teacher to get get out of detention and having to do his work.

Any suggestions, advice, comments on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

School

Well school has been a very positive experience for Elijah. He gets on the bus anxious to go, and they bring him home at 11:30 crying to go back! School has helped him so much, I see more change in him everyday! We wait for the bus each morning without me having to hold his hand. He seems so independant. I know he has far to go, but his beginning has been such a sucess.

This little boy is my everything! I want him to be the best that he can be! I wish I could just be in his head for awhile and know if he even understands how much I love him. Today i was acting out the fool with him and mistakingly hit his loose tooth in the front. It started to bleed and I apologized over and over to him and hugged him, but after that he was not interested in playing any longer. I really got the longing to be in his head and know whether he understood I was not actually trying to hurt him.

Well i am now starting the same road with my seven year old. We have an appointment on wednesday to the pediatrician to check him for a problem. He is very smart, just a lot of trouble focusing his attention. Our fam. dr. thinks he's just bored with the work, but he has other little quirks about him that indicate something else is going on. We shall see.

PRT winding down

You know how when you've been away from home for a long time and you start the journey back, there's a little bit of excitement, but then when you know your five minutes away you get this real anxious quivery feeling and can't seem to get there fast enough?

Well, I have that feeling this month. The 14th will mark a year since PRT, and my life (which seems to have been paused) will resume. I have this giddy feeling in my stomach...like let's end this already!

Elijah's made some progress. He's able to pay attention now, and he really tries to talk. He has said: bubbles, bounce, pep(for pepermint), and others that I fail to remember at the moment. the words he says consistently: Hi, Poop(LOL), milk, awter(for water), and mom.

The whole point of this blog entry is this: PRT IS ENDING!

~on another note, prt means Elijah will start school.

My sweet daughter

I had to share with everyone the sweet letter my 9 year old daughter stuck in my card yesterday. Keep in mind that she goes to french school and so her english writing isn't spec-on. Doesn't matter what spelling mistakes she made, it hit the spot.
