When I embarked my journey of being a mom I had all these visions of what it would be like..what things I would do with my kids..what memories we would create. Then came the reality check. My son was born with Kabuki Syndrome and autism and the tornado hit spinning me away out of Kansas and into the land of Oztism ( Autism ) A land where there are many beautiful things to see..songs to be sung and memories to be made but there are also many battle and perils along the way. Some times as parents we would choose a path only to find out that we went the wrong way then have to double back and try another route. Sometimes we got lucky and went the right direction the first time..I did not land in Oz by choice but while I am here I am trying to make the best of it as this is a place I have to stay. Unlike the movie there will be no clicking of the heels and chanting "there's no place like home..there's no place like home".Truth be told..I do not really want to leave.. I only want to make the journey a little easier. I want more songs and wishes fulfilled and darn it all..I want Glenda to finally arrive. But In this journey I have to find my dreams through my family , through friends and support groups and anywhere I can.. This blog is to be part of that journey towards fulfilled wishes for a more blissful Oz. Welcome to my world. As you read my blog you will see inside my heart and mind..the mind of a mom parenting two very special children (one with special needs) a mom who sometimes laughs and sometimes cries.. sometimes has the answers and sometimes does not have a clue but is determined to find the answers.Feel free to read in silence or comment and laugh cry and what ever along with me. If in my random ramblings I can help someone feel a little more hopeful or a little less alone..then this will be worth it.
