Most people when they meet me, think I am a little different to begin with. I am not your typical middle-aged female, in that, I have a corporate type job and VERY visible tattoos, and a great boss/employer who believes that your IQ isn't tied to your physical features. Yay me!
What is crazy to most people is that I met a wonderful man with 3 boys. I happened to have 2 girls. We met, hit it off, our kids seemed to like one another, he proposed, I said yes and we all lived happily every after. Right? Well, if that were the case, this would be a very quick blog. Put on the bow and call it a night. However...
Everything I said before is true, so far. We are quite happy. We met almost two years ago via the internet (Thank you very much OkCupid.com). He was very open about having two boys with autism. One has Asperger's, hereafter referred to as Eldest Boy, and the other profoundly autistic, hereafter referred to as Middle Boy. Husband's Youngest Boy has developed normally as far as "normal" can be determined in this world.
Middle Boy does not speak or communicate in traditional ways. He kind of signs and can point to what he wants for the most part. What I also know about Middle, he has a wicked sense of humor, he is a happy, happy boy, he has opinions about many things, he also eats like any other, almost 13 year old boy. I say almost, because his birthday is this coming week.
That will give Husband and myself four teens. YIKES!
What I will be blogging about is my crazy life and the things that happen. We have crazy things, that are considered "normal" around here, strange conversations that are "normal" around here, and other out of the ordinary stuff that just...happens.
So...welcome to my crazy life.
