Hello, My name is Lisa. I'm a part time Substitute Teacher Grades K - 12, special Ed, as well as a Full time mom, to three wonderful kids. Christian, Carolyn - both in 7th grade and going through the middle school Drama, and my youngest who is now 11 years old and has severe autism. Richie was diagnosed when he was 2 years old...and has been my inspiration. Just when I think I got it all figured out...my kids are there to let me know, I have been driving in the wrong lane, going the wrong direction.
We have been through some really good times and some really bad times. We have survived, moving to Japan, moving to Utah, Iraq...and Now we are Surviving Autism and Puberty..... I ran accross a quote this year...that pretty much sums up my whole attitude about everything these days. Any Day Above Ground is a Good Day....Explore All the possibilities, and Dont Sweat the Small Stuff. I'm too blessed to be stressed and way to annointed to be disappointed. And When life is really Hard....HANDLE WITH PRAYER.
