The Boy who hid in the closet

I'd like to tell you story about a boy named Jacob. He is a bright, sweet boy with blue eyes so big and blue you could swim in them. When he smiles, he melts your heart and when he says "Momma, I Love You" I have to turn my head to hide the tears. You see, three years ago, I never thought my son would ever tell me he loves me. When he would see strangers, he would hide under tables or run and hide in a closet. When someone touched him, he would cringe like it hurt him physically. He could not speak well. His words were garbled and he would babble like a baby. Working in the medical field with children, I knew something was wrong but I did not want to believe it. Every time he had his well child checks, he would be developmentally behind. Finally, the Pediatrician stopped testing him. The first time I heard that awful word that NO parent wants to hear, it came from Jacobs own grandmother. "Sandie" she said, "I think Jacob has autism." How dare she think something like that I thought. "Oh Mom, he's fine. He will come into his own soon, it's just taking him a little longer that's all." That night when I went to bed, I felt my chest burn and ache. I had a lump in my throat and tossed and turned all night. This cannot be I thought. How could this have happened? Next day, I got on the internet and looked up the word autism and reading every word brought on a wave of hurt. Everything they said, Jacob did. Everything they said an autistic child wouldn't do...Jacob didn't do. I called the Pediatrician I worked for in a panic. "Is this true?" I asked. "Let's do some tests" she said. So we did the standard tests one does when autism is suspected. First we checked his hearing. Maybe that was the problem, he could not hear as well. His hearing was fine. Next we took him to speech therapy. Every time he would go into the room with the teacher, he would hide in the closet and she would have his session on the floor in the closet or under a table, wherever Jacob felt "safe" is where he would learn to talk. Soon, he was talking more but never to adults. He would always whisper and hide when he had something to say. Next was occupational therapy. Certain textures would make scare him. Shaving cream or dirt made him run to the bathroom to wash them off. He could not stand for anyone to touch him. He would bend over and sink his head almost to the ground when someone would come up behind him and hug him. After the testings, we had a meeting with the school district and was told, your son Jacob has autism. I was in a daze, I could hardly keep it together while they talked about all the programs they would utilize to help him. When my husband and I got in the car, we just sat there numb and in silence. Our boy was suffering and we could not take it away from him. At that moment we would have given our LIVES to make sure he did not have one ounce of pain. Be it physical or being teased or made fun of. I was filled with anger at the thought that anyone would stigmatize my son. I was ready to beat up any little kid or their parents if they teased my son!! Then we learned how NOT to enable his autism. He was not the only one who learned over the next year.
The most important thing we learned as Jacob's parents was that he had autism....SO WHAT??
He was a bright, charming,beautiful boy first, he was autistic second. We did not let it become his crutch nor did we let it become ours. Because of this, little by little, some walls came down. It takes constant work, and for every step forward, we take 5 steps back but we do it together as a family. Jacob does not have autism, WE have autism. It is not his battle to fight, it is OUR battle to fight. He will never go through this alone. We are family with autism....SO WHAT??

Searching for the best Credit Card for you

There is much controversy on the usage of Credit Cards. Is it good for us or is it bad for us? Some say it ruined them forcing them into bankruptcy. Yes, that could happen but again, it's all about research and responsibility. We all get emails urging us to get a credit card. There are credit cards that your eligible for even when you have bad credit. (never mind the fact that you may have bad credit because of having credit cards in the first place.) Having a credit card or credit cards is not a bad thing. It's how you use them and reading the fine print!! Getting a credit card is a heady experience. Your overwhelmed with the power to purchase without paying. Ahh but you WILL pay and dearly if your not careful. Don't assume that everytime you purchase something with your credit card that you have months and months to pay it off because then you will keep purchasing until you are maxed out and then you have years and years of paying off your credit card and possibly the finance charges too. That card becomes unusable so you get another one and another one and before you know it, your deep in debt.

Credit cards should be used carefully. Save it for certain occasions like holiday shopping, vacations or emergencies and then never go beyond a limit that you can pay back outright or within a few months time.

Credit cards can help you build credit if used properly and with restraint. Buying things you truly need. You can splurge on something you want but just don't wind up splurging ALL the time. Credit is not free money. Somewhere down the line you will pay for what you get. You don't always have to use them just because you have them.

Research the credit card offers carefully, READ the fine print and do not be afraid to ask questions from the credit card companies that you sign up for.

Again, I did alot of research and one of the companies I stumbled upon was liteloan.com. It is an attractive site with a lot of information about credit cards and has hundreds of credit card offers to choose from. It has the 3 major credit reporting agencies to request your credit report from and you can sign up for a monthly newsletter keeping up with all the current credit issues we are faced with today. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Earning Pay at Home

I started this blog while sitting at home on medical leave. I wanted to share thoughts and experiences with people and have them share theirs with me. While surfing, I found something that I think might work on making a few extra bucks at home and I did not have to pay money to get it. I completed One sponsor offer (I paid $1.97 shipping charge) and ProjectPayday gave me the tools I needed to start earning a few dollars or who knows, you might like the offer and keep the products you signed up for. Either way ProjectPayday was the first site that I found that offered me a way to make money without asking me to give money. ProjectPayday will offer you two options to join the program. You can complete a sponsors offer or you can pay to join. They have more than one option on making money and if you have time to invest, try it. I also looked up a scam report and did not find anything on Project Payday. Several reports rated it as one of the best ways to make some extra cash. You could probably turn it into a business but I suggest you try more than one way to earn a paycheck. There are some good affiliate sites that would work. Please remember, no one gets rich quick...if they do I would find it questionable or how they are doing it questionable. Just research carefully and try not to purchase into a program with your emotions. If it sounds to good to be true, then it is. Take a day to think about it. Research the program you chose. See if there are any scam reports or lawsuits against the company. I just know it was the first thing I ever did on the internet that cost me less than $2.00. If your interested, I have a link below for ProjectPayday and let me know how it works for you!!

Gadget of the Month

I cannot stand road trips or any trip in the car for that matter. My seatbelt is so uncomfortable and always manages to gouge a gash in my neck not to mention the how it just does not sit right across my chest. I was so frustrated with this problem that I decided to search the web to see if there was something to help alleviate these problems. Beleive or not I found some. Several of them had gadgets for your seatbelt but cost between $7-$12. Thats alot of money. But I came across one that looked so simple and was very reasonably priced that I decided to try it and it WORKED!! I could not believe something so simple as a small strip of velcro could make such a HUGE difference in how I felt when in my seatbelt. It really does keep the seatbelt off your neck without compromising safety. It is intended only for adults so please don't try this with your kids! Check out this site and give it a try. You'll love the difference! www.seatbeltstay.com
