About…

Me
My name is Sadie. I’m a 29+2 mother of three. I have a son, DC that is 10 and 2 girls – M (3) and K (2). I was pregnant at my 21st birthday and have been a mom since. I’ve been a dancer, a dance teacher, a dance major…I’ve been a singer, an actress. I’m a craft-o-holic – I sew, knit, crochet, cross-stitch, make jewelry and decorate (my house when I can afford to). I’m currently just a mom and wife…oh, yes…and a writer. Nothing published yet, but I’m searching for an agent for my first novel, and writing my second.

This Blog
I started this blog in 2007 to unravel my travels as a mom to two special needs childrens. I vent, I moan, I whine…I run down my list of doctor’s, try to keep appointments…oh, yes…and still mom my 10 year old and wife my husband. In the meantime I also occassionally remember to educate. In November I began “Terminology Tuesday”, which will be reintroduced in 2008 (Christmas got the better of me). I’m also a HUGE supporter of state Early Intervention Programs. So this blog is a little bit of mishmosh…with a lot of mom and a little education thrown in.

The Fam
My hubby, E, is my biggest supporter. No matter what I take on he supports me in it in every way he possibly can.
DC is my 10 year old science geek. He’s brilliant in math, and not so shabby in science. He dreams of working for NASA. We support him in that dream because he’ll need to be rolling in the big bucks to take care of us in our old age.
M is my 3 year old. She has mild autism and RSS (both diagnoses also include ADHD…and boy is she ever). She’s the most intelligent little girl I’ve ever known and I love that she is learning how to communicate now.
K is my 2 year old. She has been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. She also has severe truncal hypotonia, dysphagia, and sleep apnea. Despite her struggles to simply eat and walk every day…she is a ray of sunshine in our lives. She has the biggest brattiest attitude ever…but she can turn the world on with her smile (yes, I’m being corny and stealing lines…but it’s true).
We have no pets because I have severe allergies to cats and have begun to manifest a dog allergy…but we still wish for a dog…and a bigger house to hold such a creature.

Why?
Simply – I’m an attention hound. I’ll admit it. I love being the center of attention…hence my dancing/singing/acting/writing…
But seriously, I also needed a place to vent my daily struggles. Some days aren’t such a struggle, but some days are. A blog seemed like the perfect place…and it’s become a great fit for me!!
