Adventure #2
We went to see Cars 2, had lunch at the food court at Discover Mills and then rode the carousel.
The movie we went to see was a Sensory Friendly Films showing - which I think is one of the most awesome things around. Once a month, participating AMC theaters show a movie where they turn the lights up a little, the sound down a bit, and allow kids to rock/flap/jump/stim away during the movie. It's a great chance for kids with autism to go out and see a movie with their family without having to worry about being judged or reprimanded for being themselves!

Summer
Updates: Chris's dad is better and home (has moved to Deanburg), school is out so I survived another year, rough draft of my prospectus was due to my advisor Friday the 20th but I haven't turned it in yet, everything else is about the same :-) Seems like everyone around me is pregnant so I've been drinking gallons of the water but it doesn't seem to be working LOL
Today was the last day of post-planning for the 2010-11 school year (I no longer get the TOTY parking spot!).
I did manage to clean out the storage closets/rooms but the rest of my classroom still looks like a hurricane blew through. Tomorrow morning is ESY planning, Friday is the governance committee meeting, and ESY begins on Tuesday.
Our niece and nephew are coming to stay with us this summer!! I can't wait - love them to bits and we are going to have lots of fun. Add in my dissertation, Christina's wedding and Camp Mays and looks like I'll be pretty busy this summer :-)
Here are some pics from my latest photog sessions:
baby Charlie:
sweet little Laney:
Caitlyn, Billy and Brian:
Jake and Ford:
the Fegan family:
Kylan:
Emma:
the Russells:
and Easter pics with Max the bunny:
and a bonus picture that I snapped while in Athens, Mark Richt (he was getting his family pics made but allowed me to snap quick shot)

Not fun!! But done!!
Well I wasn't really nervous about the oral part of comps because, let's face it, talking is pretty much one of the things I do best LOL. Seriously, I was confident about my proposal and all so I wasn't stressing. Until I got in there and they started asking me questions and more questions... "why did you choose to do this instead of that? How did you determine which whatever tonuse?" and the worst were the questions that took about 10 minutes to ask where I couldn't follow where they were going and didn't know what they had asked by the time they got finished LOL. I think I did OK but it was completely unnerving and I have never felt quite as stupid as I did between 1pm and 3:30pm this afternoon!!!
Definitely NOT the most fun I've had in a while :) But its over! I find out next week if I passed and get to start my dissertation or if I have to do this all over again next semester! Fingers crossed but there is nothing else I can do at this point, so I'm focusing my stress on other areas of my life for now ...
For instance ... my father in law had a heart attack last weekend, triple bypass surgery on Monday and is still in ICU. He also now has pneumonia. So if you're of the praying persuasion, please feel free to add him to your prayer list, or just send positive thoughts his way!
