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 :)

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. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
