For someone that used to me Miss Goodie Two Shoes, I now live a life of crime. <br /><br />Last week we went to Sea World Homeschool Day. They wanted all of us in the same stadium for lunch. It was not going to happen. We got dirty looks because we sat on the curb instead. I just smiled back. <br /><br />Here is to a life on the edge. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-17443086205210101802012-10-09T08:51:22.660-04:002012-10-09T08:51:22.660-04:00Oh man....

And I'm also inspired by your forthright action and just going ahead doing what you need to, so that your family can also have a good time.<br /><br />ps.<br />I was googling "yoda" yesterday (yeah, that's the kind of stuff I do in my spare time!) and came upon a photo of Sabrina and was all, "whaaat? I KNOW THAT GIRL!" - it was from your trip to the zoo-esque place and there was a frog that looked like yoda!Meriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813502666724137451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-42984605646309978662012-10-09T06:37:54.625-04:002012-10-09T06:37:54.625-04:00Oh Ellen, I can so relate to this one!

J loves the local zoo here and our zoo experiences often have me blocking out space in front of J's wheelchair to provide an unobstructed view or telling J in a voice a touch louder than necessary that we need to be patient and wait for s spot to open up big enough to accommodate J's wheelchair. I am often THAT dad.

Before kids, my personality was very "don't rock the boat" keep the peace, ya know? But now, after having my son (who's Autistic) I'm getting much more confident with bending the rules a little. ;)jodi inkenbrandthttp://jodiink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-72507975477688410092012-10-08T08:35:43.801-04:002012-10-08T08:35:43.801-04:00I had to smile because we were at the zoo and took...I had to smile because we were at the zoo and took that little train in June - my son and me, and my friend and her two kids. All the boys have autism and we were THAT car. Thanks for bringing me down Memory Lane - I think. :)Jackienoreply@blogger.com
