Too much happy
And we get flappy
Not in the Aspie-happy way
But in the nasty-crappy way.

Bwaaa haaaa that made me laugh. Don’t go all loopy on me! It’s all good!! Only one loopy-doopy at a time.

Love you loads and bunches!!

Thank you! I get excited and then, not too excited because things could not work out. I still haven’t heard from her so she may have gotten too busy with work. Hopefully, today. As soon as I know I will tell you. I am going to request more pictures.

Love you too!
Angel

I am so glad you are feeling better! Good to know that I could send some positive -happy vibes. Yea! Joy!

I do enjoy adventures. I know it seems contradictory for a person who needs structure and routine. I have been thinking about that and what I realized is that when my whole system starts to fail I need major change to help bring me back into balance. It helps me to make major changes at certain times because then, my eyes can be opened to new things and new ways. I get excited because every time I make new changes good things always come out of it. They are not necessarily all good things that happen, and the last several years have not been the best for me, but I learned and my mind has changed and I have hope. Hope can do wonders for a spirit that is low.

I hope you are able to enjoy your day with a little spring of hope and a jolly heart! I am sending you a big smile.

Blessings and since we are giving hugs on the comment thread {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} here some for you too.

Thank you for this list. You like ending in fives. Ha ha ha Did you know I see myself as a red 5? Strange, I know. I love counting by five’s. Ok, focus.

It is so interesting that you do the same thing with houses. My mom and I (my aunt too) can walk into places and just know it is the right place, or the right car to purchase. I my mom is funny when she goes to buy a car. She walks on the lot, looks around, the car will pop out at her and she tells them “I want this one.” They have tried to talk her out of it or mess with her with pricing and shes like “Nope, I want this one, and this price.” It seems to work she has done it with the different cars she has purchased throughout the years. Houses too, only a bit more of a struggle with getting the right price for a house.

This is a great list and so helpful for me so I can write down what I need to do. It helps to have a date so now I know I can make a game plan. Feeling so up in the air before I was unable to gather any thoughts. It was too much. Thankfully the kids and I will be in the house, and that gives me time to clean and prepare before everything comes, and for them to feel it out. We are driving and it is about 12 hours so that should be interesting. David has to fly back and then, drive the truck back. All around interesting, but it should work.

I think I am going to have some pretty interesting posts when all of this starts to unfold! (I wonder how many times I can say interesting in this comment.)

I so appreciate your list it is helping me so much! Thanks for the HUGS!! I needed a good deep pressure squeeze.

I did read read this with a heavy french accent and it made it even better! We always have to test out our own theories. Hee hee

I am so glad I am not the only one here. It feels so out of place to not want to participate with the “group”, but these types of things just bother me. “I really hate being told what to do by some unseen, anonymous entity.” Absolutely! This is it. I have no problems with giving appreciation, or celebrating really, but does it have to be forced and “enforced” with societal pressure? I am always afraid that I am being too cynical because I can tend to have these same feelings for all holidays. I love holidays, but I don’t love the pressure of having to celebrate at said date, in a set way, having things defined as the “right way” for me. Oh, boy! I went on a tangent. Oops!

I found those statistics very interesting about affairs. Who knew? It gets me wondering about those ladies, I don’t think they just came up with the idea. I believe things have been brewing for a while and on the day when they are “supposed” to be appreciated and they still feel like they are not they go searching for someone who will appreciate them. I am not so sure that they find it though. And that is why I say all year round love and appreciation! I better stop before I end up with another post.

Thank you so much for commenting and making laugh!!

Wow Angel! I’m sitting here feeling so much better that I was before I started reading your post! This is such an upbeat, uplifting, positive post. I love your attitude of adventure, and openness to what you may learn – a great approach to life in general! I hope I can apply your enthusiastic approach to the rest of my own life, no matter how it unfolds! Thanks for this, it’s really beautiful – I feel a sense of joy!
Blessings,
Bruce

What a thrill it must be to move back to your old town. I am sorry that your mother has negative feelings toward it. but, I bet that as time moves forward she will feel better. I can understand how people can have sad/bad feelings about left behind places.

I smiled whan I read about how easily you found your home. Ha! I am like that too. Our house spoke to me, I knew it would be our home–it is intuitive.

Four years ago we moved from New Mexico to New Hampshire. I did not know about our autism then, but I remember how important it was to have everything as familiar as possible for Tyoma when we flew from NM to NH. We set up his temporary housing with all his familiar stuff. I took great pains to do this, mailing toys and books ahead of time since i knew it would take us a month before we could move into our new place.

I saw on FB that you were looking for advice. I think that you already have everything under control. You know to do lists and organize and so on. I can only tell you a things that I learned.

1. Packing up stuff is easier than unpacking it. Unpacking things meant that I had to make a new map in my head for everything. It took time to sort out the new order for where all my stuff would go.

2. I had days of shutdowns over the move. I wish I would have known what was going on so I could have cut myself some slack. I hated myself for feeling tired and unmotivated. I functioned best by allowing myself a day to zone out and watch TV. Easier said than done, though…

3.Limit new toys. Toddler Tyoma took days to get used to new toys. I thought having a ton of new toys would help distract him during our travel. Nope. He wanted familiar stuff. When we travel now I balance his favorites with old favorites that I hid for a week or so before the trip.

4. Children’s books on CD are wonderful. Tyoma loves Skippy Jon Jones and will listen to stories for about an hour. He also loves workbooks.

5.Nothing else. I like to end on fives! I am so excited for your new home! I look forward to hearing all the exciting bits. HUGS to you!
