Virginia Lawmaker: Disabled Kids Are God's Punishment
There are no words to describe the storm that is brewing in my heart right now.
I came across a tweet from a fellow parent of an Autistic child, and I just had to share with you what I am so hurt and upset by:
Yes, as a blogger I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when you refer to MY/OUR child(ren) to as "God's Punishment" that is a whole different ballgame.
No, I have never had an abortion, and I do not judge women who have, but in no way does ANY action condone that statement!!!
Late Monday, his office released a formal apology.
I apologize for this, but I HAD to vent.
I believe that ALL children are a Gift from God, and those children who have challenges make us smile just as much if not MORE than the "average" child.
I came across a tweet from a fellow parent of an Autistic child, and I just had to share with you what I am so hurt and upset by:
“The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children,” said Marshall, a Republican.
“In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There’s a special punishment Christians would suggest.”
Yes, as a blogger I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when you refer to MY/OUR child(ren) to as "God's Punishment" that is a whole different ballgame.
No, I have never had an abortion, and I do not judge women who have, but in no way does ANY action condone that statement!!!
Late Monday, his office released a formal apology.
Addressing the story that his office said had "conveyed the impression that I believe disabled children are a punishment for prior abortions," Marshall explained:"No one who knows me or my record would imagine that I believe or intended to communicate such an offensive notion. I have devoted a generation of work to defending disabled and unwanted children, and have always maintained that they are special blessings to their parents. Nevertheless, I regret any misimpression my poorly chosen words may have created as to my deep commitment to fighting for these vulnerable children and their families."
Yes, his office apologized for this, as a mother, your apology is just a way to mop your mess up, 99% of speeches are pre-written which gives me the impression that you knew what you were going to say, and decided to say it regardless of who it hurt. The apology is not accepted on my behalf and it's just a political clean-up move. Though I am just one woman, I know my rage means nothing to him and or his staff, but in my own little blogworld, I made a HUGE difference by speaking on behalf of my BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM GOD and the rest of our Family.
I apologize for this, but I HAD to vent.
I believe that ALL children are a Gift from God, and those children who have challenges make us smile just as much if not MORE than the "average" child.

EASe Off Road video game review and Giveaway
As many of you know my 6 year old is on the Autism Spectrum. Sensory processing is one of the many things that he has a very hard time with; so when I had the opportunity to try something new that might help my son, I was extremely excited.
Let me tell you, when I first saw the graphics and heard the game, I was thinking to myself "oh wow!" to me it looked like a simple game from years ago.
IMPORTANT, the game is not for my liking or for myself, it's for my son, for all the children out there who do not "perceive" the world in the same way that we do.
To our children on the Autism spectrum a sound, color, or movement can be 10 times more dramatic than to anyone else.
Here is a little information about their Music cd's:

We received a game called "EASe Off Road", I explained to him that he was going to play this game on the computer and tell me what he thought, how he felt and if he liked it. This game also has music included that is Sensory Encoded specifically for children with Autism, I gave him a set of earphones and he was in his own little world. He was so excited!
I had never heard of this company before, and when I went to The EASe website, I learned a lot. This is a company that specializes in Autism and all sensory processing areas for children.
"The purpose of all Electronic Auditory Stimulation effect (EASe) products is to stimulate, challenge, and promote sensory processing in children on the autism spectrum and others experiencing difficulty with sensory processing and organization.
EASe products deliver short, intense bursts of sensory experiences to stimulate but not over-stimulate a child experiencing difficulty with sensory processing and organization. This virtual sensory diet creates a palette of experiences to help a child cope with typical environmental conditions.
Our EASe audio CDs are the original disc-based auditory stimulation program, developed in 1995 and used by tens of thousands of parents, therapists, teachers, non profit organizations, and school systems all over the world. Our EASe Off-Road, Airshow, UFO, Snowmobile, and Rover games are unique multi-modal tools disguised as video games. They are designed to stimulate and challenge the virtual-vestibular, visual, and auditory triad of sensory pathways to reinforce and promote appropriate response to sound and reinforce balance."

They are designed to stimulate and challenge the virtual-vestibular, visual, and auditory triad of sensory pathways to reinforce and promote appropriate response to sound and reinforce balance."
I felt I had to give you those details because for us parents of children on the Autism spectrum, EVERYDAY is a challenge, for some more than others, and anything that I can do to help other parents, I am all for it. As a mom of a child on the Autism Spectrum, I am glad to be able to share this game review with you, and I hope that you will also be inspired to use it with your child(ren) as well.
Let me tell you first how a typical week for us goes; I get at least 4 phone calls a week from his school principal or teacher and a few from his after school program regarding his uncontrollable behavior or and lack of focus and participation. He excludes himself from all participation in class and activities, even classwork. At home it gets even more hectic. His behavior requires me to be chasing after him all day long, I can not leave him unattended because his ADHD and his control issues have full reign over him. Many times I have felt I have been on my last ounce of patience and sanity.
Now let me tell you about how things have been since we received The EASe Off Road game.
Since I noticed that he really loved playing the game, I decided to have a reward method with him.
This is something that I have noticed works well with him. We received the game on Jan. 22, on a Friday. The entire weekend my son was able to play the game on and off throughout the day. If he was able to control his behavior in a way that is not typical for him, he earned time to play the game.
He was EXTREMELY focused, as parents of children on the Autism spectrum we know that "Focus" is not something that many of our children have. He managed to concentrate and play through the game, he said he enjoyed the music, and the "missions" were in his words were: "so fun!"
Let me tell you, when I first saw the graphics and heard the game, I was thinking to myself "oh wow!" to me it looked like a simple game from years ago.
IMPORTANT, the game is not for my liking or for myself, it's for my son, for all the children out there who do not "perceive" the world in the same way that we do.
To our children on the Autism spectrum a sound, color, or movement can be 10 times more dramatic than to anyone else.
He has had this game for 3 weeks, the entire 2 weeks and a half, I have not had a call from his school. He has stayed on blue (blue is the card that you get if you behaved ALL day) card and even in his after school program the director called me and told me she see's a complete change in him.
Though I am not claiming that EASe Off Road cured my son, I AM stating that as it's supposed to, it has helped my son tremendously. It is helping him to focus and to concentrate, and he LOVES the game so much, it means the world to me.
I will definitely continue to get him the games. On the website there is also a link where you can find doctors in your area that use these games and music CD's. Izeah's therapist noticed a dramatic change in him and asked what had I been doing with Izeah since his last visit. I told him about the game and about his change in school and the after school program. He asked me for the information on the company because they want to try to get the sets for the clinic.
To see how much my son loves to play this game, to see how much it takes for him to be able to focus and control himself so much, to the point of completely acting like someone else, makes me happy. It has given him an opportunity to see how good behavior helps him. He has come home so HAPPY telling me "Mommy, I got a blue card again look!!! can I play my game now?!" No matter how much he has loved other toys, it has not had this effect on him, he said "the music makes my ears happy"
Please take a moment and visit The EASe website, The games are great and they even have samples of the music cd's, pleasing to my ears as well as Izeah's.
Here is a little information about their Music cd's:
The EASe CD series can help ease the pain of hyperacusis and auditory hypersensitivity in Autism, Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), PDD, PDD-NOS, ADD, ADHD, and Down Syndrome and provides a low cost alternative to auditory integration therapy, known as AIT.

So frustrated with my 1800's computer, lol
Yes, I know it acts more like its from the 1700's not the 1800's but i wanted to feel a little modernized, lol
As many of you remember i entered a giveaway a while back for a new laptop from HP, needless to say i didn't win, lol.
I have been trying to write a review post today for a great video game and music cd for sensory processing problems, autism and down syndrome related, and this comp is driving me crazy!!!!!!! lol
it freezes for over 2 hours at a time, and I can not re-start it because i will loose what I have written, so I have to hurry up and wait, lol.
I have just about lost my marbles, lol, so in the time I was sitting and waiting, i decided that I am going to work very hard at trying to buy my own computer, lol. As many of you know, we are a Family of 8 on one income; buying a computer is something we can not afford at all.
I signed up for Sponsored Tweets over a week ago and I have made $4 dllrs in about a week, lol, I know it sounds like hardly anything, but it's $4 more dollars than what I initially had, and $4 more dollars towards a new computer, phew! lol

Plays by Young Writers
February 18-28, 2010
The work presented in our annual festival of Plays by Young Writers springs from the imaginations of playwrights under age 19, the winners of our California Young Playwrights Contest. Scripts are evaluated in two age groups - winners age 14 or under receive readings, while the others work with Playwrights Project to stage full productions of their scripts. The older playwrights spend months on revision, guided first by writing professionals and later by questions from the artists mounting the plays.
Audiences of all ages enjoy weekend and evening performances, while weekday performances are reserved for school groups. Students are inspired by the teenage writers and intrigued by characters grappling with conflicts much like their own.
The 25th Season of Plays by Young Writers will be produced at The Lyceum Theatre at Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego.

I have been a bit busy with life lately, hence the lack of my daily ramblings, lol.
A quick update is that the whole family has been sick for over a month,, taking turns with stomach flu, flu, bronchitis, and now I finally caught a cold and the baby has an ear infection, so there goes my turn to rest :/
I have some WONDERFUL reviews coming up, I am so happy with these products, and I can't wait to share with all of you why I loved them so much ;)

What is Moms on vacation?
"It is a place where you can find information about planning your vacation with your other mom friends. You can also decide to join one of our many mom vacation group trips or “momcations”. Our trips are short (3 to 5 days) so that you won’t be away from your family for too long. They are relatively inexpensive. And they are a place where you can connect with other moms."
As Mom's we often feel overworked, over stressed and under appreciated right?
ALWAYS wishing we could take a vacation, but the fact of spending thousands of dollars is not only almost impossible for many of us, but the fact of leaving our families behind for too long is also almost ALWAYS not an option.
Moms on vacation Travel club, specializes in arranging vacation packages that are not only AFFORDABLE, FUN, and AWESOME, but....
It's a vacation club for moms ONLY!!
I know the minute I heard about going on vacation by myself, The first thought that went through my head was being afraid of being around so many strangers. When I focused on the fact that it's ONLY FOR MOMS, the fear left, as it may for many hubby's out there as well, lol.
A group of moms, hanging out on a vacation, a MUCH NEEDED vacation ;)
As if this wasn't cool enough, Caroline will give a $25 travel certificate for every mom that mentions they found moms on vacation through My Blog ;) when they sign up.
