My mom is a hoot, too.

Mine had to do with my mom, you know aunt Booey, well anyway we were on BART while we were visiting out there and when it stopped, she stepped out to take a picture of everyone else still on the train. And Lo and Behold, the doors closed suddenly and took off leaving our poor mother standing on the deck just staring after BART with her mouth hanging open. It is a very humorous anecdote when we tell it now, it wasn't so funny to mom then. See it was similar in the fact that both stories involved BART. It was different because it was my mom and not your husband and mom was left behind when she really didn't want to be. Oh mom, you are such a hoot.<BR/>RoxanneRBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453414774597877792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015651593178985156.post-53574892104884929142008-07-25T20:12:00.000-07:002008-07-25T20:12:00.000-07:00Hey, Jami, thanks for your comment!

I didn't enjoy it so much when it became the backdrop for a nightmare last night, but you get extra points for getting into my subconscious.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015651593178985156.post-66256597869233659422008-07-25T09:56:00.000-07:002008-07-25T09:56:00.000-07:00Boy, you sure made my day!

Anyway, I read your blog last night and then spent the rest of the night thinking about it. Weird, huh? When I was living out there, I worked for the Regional Center of the East Bay as a Case Manager for People with Disabilities. I had wondered if you had connected with them yet? If not, I can help you. There might be some help out there for your older son. Also, there is the CARE Parent Network out in Martinez. I was friends with Betsy, who was the director, but I think they have another person now. Anyway, they were a great group of women and very supportive. Anyway, I have been working with children and adults with disabilities for about ten years and have a special place in my heart form them and their families. Your stories of barf and toilets remind me of a family I am working with right now who have the same issues, but there child is 5, so they have many years of barf and toilets ahead. I may let her know about your blog if you don't mind. She might find some support in the humor of it all. Anyway, I enjoy your blog and will read your book! Good luck!Never A True Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331740639630387522noreply@blogger.com
