Nanny Gone crazy

I have went baby crazy and have neglected my blog and my wonderful readers and your posts. I am off work for Christmas break so hopefully I can catch up on my reading. I hope everyone is having wonderful holidays..I painted this for baby IJ and a few other things I will post. I  have learned to crochet, been making tutus and hairbows, and just got an early present from my hubby a sewing machine..So I am completely embracing my nanny to be moments!!! I know you men are just thrilled to death with all of this :) I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas..Much Love, Cindy

Update on my first unborn grandbaby... Its a GIRL...and her name is Isabel Jade....I just can not wait!!!!

inhale (poetry potluck)

 the naked limbs

of the old oak trees

hovers over

 the leaf blanket

covering my backyard

birds fluttering

around the feeder

taking on a fill

waiting on  the rain to set in

i watch out the window

loving the peace

that is embracing my soul

I inhale this moment

with eyes closed

head bowed

I give Thanks

to

Him

for

My life

Happy Thansksgiving to All

Coming up Rainbows

I asked him

what color is Minnie's dress going to be?

rainbow he replied to me

I asked him

what color is the train going to be?

rainbow he replied to me

I asked him

what colors would you like for crafts today?

I know ..rainbow is what he will say

I smile at this handsome young man

as he asks "Mrs. Brown"

what can I do?

I call his name and ask

'What would you like to do? "

Draw pictures he says to me

and I nod my head yes

I know

 before I go to his desk

what I will see

his markers lined up

the way he sees

his rainbow

To myself I think

God gave him

the most wonderful gift

that in his world

everything is the color of

rainbows.....

I know most of my readers know that I work in Special Education and from time to time I write about my experiences. This young man is 15 and I do not like to play favorites but Man alive do I LOVE this kid!! He is autistic and he teaches me something everyday I am with him!! He loves to draw and everything he draws is bright colors and rainbow colors. He draws several things and some of the same things several times. Sometimes they will be so identical, if I did not know better I would swear he was tracing them off of his original. Everything he does has to be in a certain order which is common in autism, but he fascinates me so much , he is an incredibly brilliant kid that I would love to be able to see what he sees in his mind. He has fantastic parents who involve him in everything possible and I know that he gets opportunities so many special needs kids do not get and I wish they had. Children with autism sometimes have difficulty with socialization, today this child took a santa hat that was on his head , he took it off and went and put it on the male teachers head and laughed, really laughed. It was the greatest moment!! He is a gift from God to me and one of the reasons I love my job so much. I learn so much from him , a lot more than he learns from me.
Today he was my rainbow!!!!

No words dot dot dot

no words come to me
as I read the many talented
and regret the education
I did not pursue...
I feel ignorance when no words come to me
and I read comments I do not understand
I write from my heart which holds so much love
and I write from my mind with its unlimited thoughts
but limited vocabulary...
no words come to me
when I have so much weighing on my soul
frustration takes over and I just sit
looking at the blank screen
waiting for the words to come to me...

cool autumn night

 wrapped in your arms

drinking hot cocoa

by the wood fire

watching favorite tv shows 

snuggled on the couch

you

are my first and only

true love

only way

written with shakey hands,
the number of the goal in mind,
no food today ...
tomorrow
small box from the freezer at
5 o'clock.....
 devouring the brain cells,
 lack of nutrients,
the mistake is made,
the candy bar was consumed
in 30.6 seconds....
free
     f
      a
        l
         l
           i
            n
              g
 trying to grasp
at the limbs on the way down
to gain control
before the binge
begins
tooo late
screwed up this day
start again Monday....
the binge ,
      the binge ,
           the binge
lethargic, sick, stuck in the recliner
with goals melting
like ice cream in the sun....
salt swimming
to the extremities
causing wedding band
to stretch the golden limits..
to gain control
to reach the goal
food
one time a day
the only way
is one time a day...

 one reflection

the mirror witnesses

two faced
