I hope that you can find time to relax and pamper yourself.<BR/>SweetieSweetiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216509812299330017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-61330325834730942672009-01-06T15:24:00.000-05:002009-01-06T15:24:00.000-05:00A five year old in a tantrum is a lot to deal with...A five year old in a tantrum is a lot to deal with.Diva's Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177643214210147206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-17075964330678476862009-01-06T08:00:00.000-05:002009-01-06T08:00:00.000-05:00Stay warm!

Brandon used to be the same way and still can be at times. Children with autism need structure and he gets bored easily. When he was young it was so much worse. We dreaded holidays, but I do think the kids need the break. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to your posts on your hometown and the people who had a hand in your upbringing. Please drop by for a visit when you have a few moments. I've been sick over the holidays and am just now beginning to feel more like myself.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-29772580244720075512009-01-05T20:27:00.000-05:002009-01-05T20:27:00.000-05:00Yay!! for school :)get some quiet ;)Yay!! for school :)<BR/><BR/>get some quiet ;)Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-61610937910890983592009-01-05T18:17:00.000-05:002009-01-05T18:17:00.000-05:00Great idea for gifts but a big concept for Maya.
