I humbly apologize … …
… for my absence, as this will always be a type of HOME to me.
I have been skimming posts from those I subscribe to every now and again.
But I’ve just not felt like saying much of anything.
I think I have learned that not every bit of my life matters to everyone, if anyone at all so I’ve tried to keep it to myself.
But I do know that there are wonderful people that I’ve grown to love through this medium who might wonder what I or we have been up to so I am checking in.
I am …
Still married to the most tolerant man on God’s Green Earth.
Still offering a roof over my adult girl-child’s head as she works at Staples (Print & Copy) and attends community college. I am so very proud of her work ethic and am glad to see that she realizes she should have tried a bit harder her first year in college, so we co-exist peacefully.
Still living and loving with autism in our family. It is now in its teen-aged form and great fun. Seriously I thank the goddesses that I don’t have a “normally developing teenager” as that is just too ugly. I am thrilled to report that in a couple of weeks I will be having a tru “sweet 16″ party for my son. His guests will range in age from 2 to 20.
I have always said I don’t define myself by my job … “mom” but I guess I do.
I thank any and all of you who ever reminded me I was more than just a mom.
You know who you are!

oh yay an update here too. I love you and your family. But sadly there is always something that keeps us from writing to eachother. I use my blog for me. No one really reads me anymore but that is my page of sanity so most of my posts are a tad negative. I am glad you and your daughter are doing better. 16 for your son…wow it just seems like it was yesterday that he was going to be 12. How did that happen. I think I must have been caught in a time vortex that deposited me here 4 years later.
Love you Cyn, thanks for the post. I am not at consistent here as I once was You, and Karen too (above me here) always make my day. Mom is the only job I have loved and you girls inspire me every time I see your beautiful faces. xxoo C
I haven’t been around here much either….I guess life got in the way! Much love to you.
I’m so glad to hear what is happening with your crew. I miss hearing about M, your daughter with the huge heart, and all your observations about life.
You are an exceptional MOM! You have done so much to make sure your family is always a loving and complete unit. You are a very special person Cyndee and don’t ever forget that. You are much loved in this household. I often look at the pictures of the SLO 4pk and the PG 2PK. It gives my heart a real twang. Now the 2pk is me and Finney. We would love to see you all again. Once in my heart it never lets the love go away and the love I have for all of you is there. You are very special.
Nancy
Just stopping by to wave hello from Texas.. You ARE an awesome Mom, Cyndee.. Happy Thanksgiving..
Hi Sweetheart,
You have such a BIG heart. It’s been a long time since I visited my Xanga pals. I’m so glad you and your family are doing well. All is well with me. All my kids are grown up and no longer living at home. Now the grand kids come over and bring us joy. We send them home full of sugar. haha
You’re pal, Phil
