Where is that Sky-Guy?

-


The whole fam damnily is getting together in Bellevue Washington for 5 days, we headed out Saturday morning and had the travel day from hell! Delays everywhere, the airport, the drive to the townhome we are renting, checking in, just everything we did we ran into lines! I handled it all in my usual calm, cool way though. I have found that kicking the walker out from under an old lady and beating the person at the front of the line with it will get things moving.

But maybe that's just me, and you all have found your own little methods...

Anywhozzle, we are here meeting up with the family, doing family stuff, talking about what the heck we need to do with grandpa and all those fun things. I wanted to try and get time to meet up with seattle bloggers Cora and E, but I just don't think it is going to work out between our schedule and Skyler's needs. It is more than tough to travel with him.

See you all on the other side!

    Maybe it's just as well. You don't want a picture of you, sitting in a restaurant with 2 gorgeous women, to end up online somewhere. Imagine the trouble you'd get into if it gets national attention...

    "Colorado man hooks up with 2 of Seattle's finest..."

    And I know all about traveling with a disabled person...it's ain't easy!

    Have fun!!!

    Just be careful. If you don't get the walker out of the little old ladies hands on the first try, she'll beat you down with it. Those old ladies are mean.

    Have fun!

    Chris, that's a great photo.
    I was wondering what traveling would be like for you. I'm sure Skyler knows how blessed he is to have a father who is willing to put in the extra effort to get him around. Hugs. xo d

    Oh hey...have a great trip!!!

    Love traveling with family. You either end up bonding ever so greatly or killing each other with sharp, pointed weapons.

    Either way, it's a joy aint it??

    Remember to act all crazy in front of distant relatives so they remember you!

    It's the done thing, according to my distant relatives, anyway.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
