I tried to submit the birthday post late last night and the blog editor hung and crashed.  I might have to give up the blog editor and go back to writing all the posts directly in WordPress to save my mental health.

Now that vacation has been over a while and our daily schedules are slowly getting back into order, I’m trying to get better about reading other blogs again.  Here are some of the things I found recently that I enjoyed.

Elizabeth over at Career and Kids has a post about whether or not you should take your kid out of school for vacations.  I started commenting and realized that I should just write a post reply instead.  Soon.  By the way, if you haven’t read Career and Kids since I quit writing there at the beginning of the year, stop by and check it out.  I think Elizabeth is doing a much better job than I did with it.

Dad Gone Mad has a funny post about how one of his kids helped stop his sister’s tantrum.  It’s touching.  It has a moral…just go read it because it’s funny.

Kristing at Autism Vox has a post that will make you think.  There is so much talk about finding a cure for autism and pointing fingers of blame a various potential causes of autism.  But what about the kids (and adults) that are already here and already have autism.  We need to make sure we don’t forget about them and that we provide them with the right kind of education.

Michelle at Demented Delusions has been going through IVF and writing about it on her blog.  Want to know how frustrating IVF can be?  There is good news for Michelle.  The magic pee sticks gave her good news right when she least expected it.  Congratulations, Michelle.

Awww that’s so cool about Michelle’s news. Only those who know how magical those darn sticks can be really appreciate that good news!

A quick trick that help save sanity is to right click wherever you’re typing and “select all” then copy. You can then paste it into a document or back into a new window. I don’t remember it all the time, but I’m getting better at it and that little save has curbed many and expletive from me during blogging. ;o)

Hugs,

“I think Elizabeth is doing a much job than I did with it.”

She doesn’t skip words in the middle of the sentences either. :)

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. And I probably shouldn’t be throwing stones since even when I proofread my writing, my head fills in the missing word.

Thanks Brian. I fixed the typo. I guess it is always hard to say something positive about the person that took over one of my projects. Or I just type like a drunken monkey.

Holly, the editor I am using saves the post on my laptop, but it is having trouble actually posting it to the server. So, at least I don’t have to retype it. One profanity instead of two.
