I've fallen off. and I'm ready to get back on. back on the happy train <---- that's a thing, right? wagon, train, whatever's headed towards happy, we are all aboard. I'd say that this happy train would have lots of fantastic clothing on sale and ice cream for days- but as that's not going to get me any closer to where I want to be, we're going to have to reimagine this ride. Goals- always. Days and plans and lists. <br />
<br />
<br />
I love Brian Andreas- and <a href="http://shop.storypeople.com/products/the-gift-of-you-cont-prints?variant=1105576964">this print</a>- is pretty awesome- We can't be what we were before- just gotta move forward and find that sunshine.<br />

working it out! 543 Calories burned at B&G tonight- not the panting, sweaty kind of burn, but the 'my muscles are shaking and i'm totally going to fall over' kind- you know, core, balance... all my favorites ;-) look at that sweet baby girl. totally destroying her school craft, totally digging lining up her stars. love that baby bit!</div>

Last weekend, as my children were NOT sleeping, I found a sudoku book at the home we were staying and remembered how much I enjoy these puzzles. Tonight I picked this little gem up at dollar general... my attention and problem solving skills need some serious work, I'm currently struggling with the very first, 'very easy' puzzle. oy. </div>

Hello! We are officially on vacation!! and by 'we' I mean 'they'- this is when a job in the school systems really seems appealing ;-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any way, The kiddos have started vacation and I've gotta tell ya, we are pretty sad to be leaving behind our amazing teachers!!! This school year- while really, really hard in the beginning for our baby girl, was truly the best year Abe has ever had. We had teachers, aides, and therapists that pushed him and loved him- the perfect combination. Bohdan has great years every year- the amount of knowledge he gained in 1st grade blew me away. We are thankful that his teachers push him to learn and demonstrate his knowledge in such creative ways. Aurelia ended on a really good note- it took 100 days of school for her to make it into her classroom without a complete meltdown, therefore, we're calling the rest of this year a success! </div>

Here are a few of the bracelets we made for our teacher friends- the kids picked out the colors for each one! Aurelia loved the neon beads :-)</div>

What a busy week! Clearly, I'm not hitting the nail on the head with a blog post every day... and I'm ok with that. At this point in the year, to get to the end of each day with my wits still (mostly) about me, takes a boatload of work.

Summer time is feeling hard right now. Summer is for friends, for playing and laughing and enjoying each other. We're going to make it amazing.... we will. I'm grieving the loss of childhood playmates for my 2 special loves. Bo, we call him the mayor.

We have strong support. crazy strong support. Amazing family.

Abe and Aur are involved in every gathering here, children or adult, and Bo and his buddies do include them- or mom and dad weave them in to the storyline of whatever adventure is taking place... still not the same. </div>

One of the most important lessons I've learned from Cindi is to get my 'Poop in a group', her kind way of saying that, as parents, we need to 'Get our Sh*t together!!' This is the only life our babies have ever known... they don't know their life is different, and they certainly don't know it's 'hard', it's up to us to figure out how to make it the very best it can be! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so thankful that I have the privilege of knowing and learning from Cindi, and I can't wait to see her again in California at the <a href="http://www.fragilex.org/community/international-fragile-x-conference/">International Fragile X Conference</a>. </div>

I had a student start with me, a short placement- just 4 weeks, which is always fun, but a LOT more prep and planning than normal. I love having students- it's so cool to see the ' I GET it!' look flash in their eyes :-) I truly do love the work that I do, and feel pretty lucky to work with the next generation of SLPs! </div>

every storm. Tonight I found another callus on Abe's hands. one more on the tip of a toe. life is so so hard for our son. hard enough to wear a blister and then keep on, keep on rubbing and wearing in that same soft spot. his skin is so soft- there's a medical explanation for it, as a person with <a href="http://www.fragilex.org/">Fragile X </a> his body carries something that keeps that sweet baby smooth even as he ages. He's still so close to God. and this world, this storm is changing us. rubbing and wearing and changing us. </div>

It was a busy day here in our little town- my mom is home and doing well, Abe cuddled her up and didn't want to get too far from her side. Bo had birthday parties, play dates, and neighborhood fun with all of the folks in and around for graduation parties! Aurelia had her first t-ball game and the daddy daughter dance. </div>

Ran. it was cold, then it was hot, then I was sweating like crazy, then it was raining and raining and raining. I was glad i had on my long sleeve shirt for the run! Who would have thought we'd be at 43 degrees in MAY? and my hips- I've got to figure out a great stretching routine!! Ever since we ran for #abesarmy I've been even slower than usual, and that's saying something. because i'm slow... reallllyy slow. </div>

I can't remember the exact post that she spoke about 'holding space' - sometimes when life is too hard, when we feel like we can't really show up- we simply ask those who love us to hold space for us. to think of us and send us strength and love. We'll be back. Thank you for holding space for me.<br />

So- I'm back to my blog, not on the beach as planned, but in a hospital. And that's ok. Nothing life threatening, nothing that requires any more tears than were shed in that initial fear and worry. My sweet family that is here, truly believes I should GO! pack my bag and be at the beach... they say "are you just going to sit here today??" "do you want to take a break? go shopping?" <---- they know my weakness ;-) but I'm ok here- I'm ok simply to sit and to physically hold space <i>with </i> her. to be in this room and ask the doctors questions and surf<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/ajmz319/"> pinterest </a>, catch up on blogs i love and so on. to be present and at peace with where we are right now. <br />

Not surprisingly, all of this has made me evaluate and re-evaluate where I am in life, where I want to go, what I picture my life looking like in 1 year, 5 years, 20 years. Could someone find my bathrobe and comfy pants if they needed to pack my hospital bag? Will I ever have a dining room table that's not covered in piles of folded laundry unless <u style="font-weight: bold;">I know </u> someone is coming over??<br />

For the second time in my life, I was fortunate enough to head to DC to speak to our Senators and Congressmen and women about <a href="http://www.fragilex.org/">Fragile X Syndrome</a>. I know it's been forever since I've blogged, feel free to go check it out if you need a refresher! For Abe- it means he doesn't speak... not even a consonant. Cognitive impairment, sensory processing disorder, anxiety. oh the anxiety!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
165+ advocates from across the country traveled to DC to speak to their representatives about funding for bimolecular research- the CDC, NIH, and DOD. We have 'asks' that focus on continued streamlining of the monies spent on FX and Autism- a collective goal, collective funds. We are sooooo close to passing the<a href="http://www.ndss.org/Advocacy/Legislative-Agenda/Creating-an-Economic-Future-for-Individuals-with-Down-Syndrome/Achieving-a-Better-of-Life-Experience-ABLE-Act/"> ABLE</a> act, so awesome to say that our congressmen and women have ALL signed as co-sponsors! </div>

Pretty amazing group, huh?? And the self advocates... I don't think I can truly tell you what it means for me to hear some of these young men and women speak. In my momma's heart I wonder- is this what Abe thinks? What he feels? What he would say if he could find his voice??</div>

Here's a group of us mommas with Nick- who has FX! He's amazing. When we all went out for dinner, the siblings and younger adults went one way while we headed the other- Nick ordered a chocolate martini. He said he'd always wanted one and had told his mom that he was going to get one in DC! He said he 'loved it!' but didn't think he'd order it again :-)</div>

We took advantage of the cooler weather and roasted s'mores in our fireplace most every night. and we ate a LOT of ice cream. I think our final count was 15 different flavors that we had tried throughout the trip- NOM!! My favorite was possibly utter-nutsense- a rich dark chocolate with chocolate covered pecans. Or maybe it was CowCoNut!! Coconut ice cream with pecan pieces.... or maybe the aMOOse-mint- mint ice cream with chocolate covered mini reeces cups!! oh baby! </div>

here and gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
most of the time, whether I'm blogging or not, we roll from day to day- Ups and downs all part of the flow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Focusing on the positive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every once in a while this life seems far too big, far too overwhelming, far too full of GRIEF to attempt to sit and type happily away- la dah di, la dah dum. Unless you lived inside my head (or, bless his heart, you are the husband who has no choice in the matter and has to hear it ALL) , I don't imagine you'd ever know it. I work pretty hard at keeping upbeat and happy. a smile on my face and a soft, easy voice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I go MIA from what I can... real life never, cyber life yes indeed! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, when I'm ready, when I can stop 'just surviving' and move forward... I come back to the blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If I had to summarize FX in just a few short phrases, I think I'd like you to know that it's caused by an unstable repeat on the X Chromosome of the DNA building blocks CGG. This shuts of production of the FMR1 protein... and this affects EVERYTHING- gross motor, fine motor, speech and language, cognition, sensory processing, connective tissues, anxiety regulation... EVERYTHING. Some people are really affected. Some are not. My Abe is really, truly, seriously affected. No words- no consonants. high motor- high anxiety. moving, flapping, rocking, twirling. FX is the leading known genetic cause of autism. FX is genetic... I'm a carrier. I have a pre-mutation of this unstable repeat on my X chromosome, and in each generation it expands. I have 89 repeats- Abe has over 200- anything over 200 repeats of the CGG repeats without *** new information!!!*** AGG repeats leads to Fragile X. I have 2 X chromosomes- one affected, one not. Abe received my affected X, Bodie received my unaffected X. No one in my family knew about FX until we received Abe's diagnosis. </div>

Busy, Busy day! I headed up to Rush University to take part in a<a href="http://www.fragilex.org/fragile-x-associated-disorders/carriers/"> Carrier</a> study at RUSH University Medical center. I completed balance, motor, muscle memory, gait, and vestibular testing. Fun times :-) These studies... I will forever do them. They stress me out like nobodies business. It's that type A sneaking out.... Here I am, doing activities, that because of my genetic sequence, are designed to be difficult.... I won't be able to get every.single.thing. right. They are designed to poke and prod at my weak areas. clearly, I've not yet learned to let go of the fear of failing. </div>

so I love to shop <----- not a shocker. and I really love to shop for shoes. athletic shoes, specifically :-) </div>

I learned a little bit about Yoga, and chased a whole lot of kids today :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my workout came from Pinterest-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=X9dpKzCjJsA">this guy was fun to watch </a>... he was all calm and easy with these dogs and babies and 'sweep the leg's while i was sweaty and huffing and puffing and falling over :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Time: 20 min total. The above workout and a bit of a <a href="http://www.doyogawithme.com/content/stretch-and-bend">second</a> video that was so relaxing it put me to sleep. waaaaaaaay more sweat than i thought I would generate <----- clearly, a yoga newbie. </div>
