Faked or Felt?

For the past two nights my son has spontaneously broken out in tears right at bedtime. At first I thought he was just a kid that didn't want to go to bed, but when I asked him what was wrong he said he missed me. I was puzzled. Missed me? Wasn't I right there? Hadn't I spent all day with him? I asked him what he meant by "I miss you." For those who don't know, my son is autistic and he can't express himself sometimes. So he just kept telling me over and over he missed me and begged me, pleaded with me to be home when he got home.

He really confused me. At first I told him to just go to sleep and get some rest and that I would always be there. But after I went bed, this made me worry. I come from a "gifted" family and I wondered if what he was doing was real or fake.

I let it go the first night. But then last night he did it again. My heart was heavy, worried, wondering if I should let this get to me or not.  I started thinking, what if he "knew" something? I mean, he's autistic but that might not affect the "other" parts of the brain that would make someone "gifted."  Then this morning he said that he "lost his dream". What does that mean? I am waiting for tonight to see what happens.  Well see. I will keep you posted. I want to be kept posted.

Until then...

    Our family is very gifted as well as he. Don't just listen to him...Hear him. He is calling out in his way. I vote for Felt :)

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
