I just voted in Care2.com's online contest to make 2009 "A New Year of Hope for Animals." If my shelter (Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL) wins this contest, then it will win a much needed $10,000 donation! Every vote in this online contest helps promote the need for pet adoption to save homeless animals' lives. Please help my shelter win (or another worthy animal shelter), and save homeless pets by voting today.

I'm back after my project...here's what you missed!

Thanks for keeping me honest!!! I'm getting there!
Took "Big Stuff" to see Prince Caspian...he loved it (He also loved the "date" with mom. "Little Bit" had a "date" with dad that night too and went to Best Buy and got some movies she liked...I believe they were Princess Stories of some sort).
"Oma and Opa" watched "Big Stuff" & "Little Bit" long enough for Hubby and I to go out for dinner last night...just the two of us! A grown up meal with hubby (whom I haven't seen in about a week because of my real job...and trying to keep the kids happy because of all the extra work hours). It was fun!
and now we are down to one child the rest of this week as "Big Stuff" is with his "Oma and Opa" for a little time with them. We were going to be completely childless for a week as "Little Bit" was going to be with one of her favorite people "Mac" (and "Papa" too of course) this week for some intensive potty training and fun, but "Mac" (aka my mom) had somethings beyond her control come up (don't you love it when things our out of your hands?!?!?) and she had to take care of those...I don't know who was more disappointed "Mac" or "Little Bit"...actually, I'm thinking "Mac", but I told her not to worry. We're enjoying the special time with "Little Bit".
That's about it from here.

My Spectrum Blog Pick of the week...AND my bracelet arrived!!!
My blog pick for this week is: Asperger's Aid as it is a wealth of information! I do want to highlight one article in particular...and that is The Autism/Aspergers Checklist. There are 17 different items listed and some will answer yes to all, and others (for instance "Big Stuff") will only say yes to some (in "Big Stuff's" case the number of yeses came to 13).
My bracelet arrived this past Friday!!!
Chrisi over at Chrisi’s Creations was incredible to conduct this transaction, and I couldn't be happier with the bracelet! She, again, makes awareness bracelets for a number of various causes besides Autism Awareness and she donates a portion (I'm not certain on the percentage off hand...sorry) of her profit to various charities...for example...my bracelet will end up supporting Autism Speaks, and an Alzheimers Awareness Bracelet will end up being a donation to the Alzheimers Association Memory Walk. Check her out if you can. She also does mother & grandmother jewelry as well.

Let's help them out!
I am writing today because I want to ask for your help. My aunt is a 4th grade teacher and she works for the city meaning that a lot of her work goes un-noticed and unappreciated. She is trying to raise money for a project for her kids. She is only asking for $614. It’s not much. Please read her page about it here and should you feel moved to do so, please donate. Let’s show these kids the power of the internet! Thank you!!
