Home Management Binder

A few people have asked me what I have in my Home Management Binder. I had put this together originally for a friend of mine on CafeMom. I want to share with all the ladies in LDS Moms what my home management book looks like. I will try and get it uploaded here. Just a shout out to my LDS Mom friends.
I hope it is helpful and shares some ideas for your own home management binders.
I finally found out how to do it.. :)

2012

Hi there! I haven't written in a little while. Jamie is now 6 and he is great. He does have some behaviors that need to be worked on but who doesn't.. Trey is still working at Valero Energy Corporation and I still am a Stay At Home Mom.. Not sure what else to write here.. :)

Sorry it's been so long!!

You know life happens. My little boy will be 6 in about a month and a half!
On Facebook I have been promoting awareness this month through my posts about special needs awareness.
I wrote my post on Facebook today and this is what I wrote;

I am a mom of a child with autism. Don't feel sorry for me. Many times I am annoyed and impatient more than I should be, and I am mad way more than I should be. But I laugh way more than some think I should, love more than I ever thought I would, and sacrifice more than I thought I possibly would.
I am proud and grateful to be a parent of a child with autism.

The more and more I think about it The more I know this came from my heart.
I am grateful that my son was sent to me!

It's been SO LONG!

I can't believe it's been a year since I have posted.
Lots of things have been happening though.
For one, My sister's Birthday is today! Jamie did so cute in the Primary Program Presentation in Sacrament Meeting last week! He did so great memorizing his line. :)
Jamie loves Preschool and he loves riding the bus.
Trey has been out of school for a while now.. so I will have to think about going to school online perhaps. I'm not quite sure when I should start.
Right Now I'm trying to sell stuff on EBAY and taking care of Jamie.
Not very much out of the ordinary happens around here. Life just happens, including work, Jamie going to school, I clean all the time.. :)
Well that's it for now!

Busy Busy

I haven't posted since March! Oh my gosh.. it's been pretty busy around here.

Well, in May Jamie had his first ER visit. He was walking pretty fast by this cement ramp we step over to get to the stairs to our apartment. He was too excited one day and tripped.. and got a about a one inch deep cut on his head by his hairline.. I was SO scared! For one.. I didn't know that head wounds bled so much. I called the pediatrician in a panic, and I told them only that he was bleeding and that he probably needed stitches. They were all calm and told me to get to Methodist Children's Hospital. I was like.. how can you be calm??!! I called my husband.. and he had to come home.
The bleeding stopped, and like 20 minutes later, he's out walking like nothing ever happened. We were waiting for Trey to get home. We went to the hospital and Jamie was only cooperative when they gave him a sticker! So they had to give him a sticker to get his temp.. put some gauze with ointment on it...etc.
He ended up getting 5-6 stitches, which came out a few days later.. In June.

A Breakthrough!

I know I haven't posted for a month and a half.. AHHH! Anyway.. something exciting happened today.. not only is Jamie getting over his tummy bug he had yesterday..

He initiated going to the bathroom! First he wanted his shirt and pants off.. then his diaper.. we went to the potty and he peed in the POTTY! What a breakthrough! I think that that is so cool. OH and he's only been training since November.. so I think this is really good!!!

This past month or so, it's been very busy. I tried signing up for a home based business.. that I could do from home. That was promising, but the company that sent me the check was bad and we had to freeze our bank accounts, etc etc. So that was all a big mess. Fortunately our old bank caught it, and didn't deposit the check.. so it's all OK.

Jamie still loves preschool and will go back again tomorrow. He LOVES to ride that yellow school bus!

New Beginnings

Well, Happy New year to you all! Hope this blog finds everyone happy, healthy, and most importantly, in good spirits.

On New Year's day, we got into a fender bender up the street from our house. Trey didn't see a parked police car, and hit it quite hard, shaving off our right front fender, entirely! We were all ok, but kinda like.. what a day for it to happen on. This delayed our arrival at the inlaw's for New Year's Day dinner. We got there okay though. We were able to drive it for I think 2-3 days before we could drop it off and get it repaired.

The Brady family is doing well. Jamie after his long break had no problems readjusting back to going to his special Preschool. From what his teacher says, he is signing Help and more more regularly, and that's great! He loves going to school.

Jamie started Primary the first of the year. His first week he had me stay with him. It was fine though.. it was a very big change for him to go through and he had to know it was ok, and this was his new class or routine. Last Sunday, Jamie isn't able to sit down for very long, so they needed my help when they go into Singing time into Primary (his 2nd week!) and I was able to leave a few minutes into the class time, and he was fine without me for an entire hour! Woo hooo! I was very excited about that.

We were able to get Jamie a new car seat and I really like it. He looks comfy in it and it is easy for us to use, which is important. This should be his last one he will need. :D

Oh today we got back our Honda Accord.. and it looks Brand New. They did a good job on it. It will be nice to have our car back. I can drive again with Trey..

Trey is pursuing a Master's degree in E-Business. The sad thing is that it's going to be on Sunday the same time as church :( The only thing we could do is go and have Trey drop us off at the church :) The good thing too.. is Trey will graduate when we have originally planned.. we'll have to see what happens.

Lots of News and lots of stuff going on. Will post more soon.
