Yet, just how would a mom of two children with special needs, running around upstate NY with her pants on fire, find a publisher?Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-48132928255377336152011-12-14T14:01:54.955-05:002011-12-14T14:01:54.955-05:00I left a big, long comment here yesterday and Blog...I left a big, long comment here yesterday and Blogger ate it. GGGGRRRRR!<br /><br />Anyway, all it really said was that I agree--you should write a book. Parents have lots of resources for information, but far less access to the hows of living this life, and that just happens to be your specialty.<br /><br />You are kind, smart, funny, articulate, and you are a fabulous mother. Even kind, smart, funny, articulate, fabulous people get tired, worried, overwhelmed, and even plain ol' pissed off sometimes, though, and by sharing the way that you do, you show that it's alright to stumble and second-guess ourselves. <br /><br />Your innate goodness, combined with your willingness to be honestly and publicly human, allows your readers--no matter the men we married, children we were given, level of education we achieved, house we live in or degree of financial success--to relate to you and your life. You really DO have something important and valuable to share, and while I'm glad you do it here and am grateful to have found you, I believe that your talents and heart would be warmly welcomed by a much larger audience, if they had the opportunity to know you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-49680364172095211512011-12-13T22:45:10.745-05:002011-12-13T22:45:10.745-05:00Yes, definitely what they said...all the above!

I just thought there might be some interest out there...interest in families who don't know much about these needs as to what it is like to live with them daily and, most certainly, interest in fellow special needs parents who find a kinship in my words. What a compliment that would be for me. Thank you both for suggesting that this could possibly happen.Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-43970998560671281712011-12-13T11:42:10.067-05:002011-12-13T11:42:10.067-05:00Again I have to say "Whew" after reading...Again I have to say "Whew" after reading your account of one day! Okay, I know this is your life and I know you have it down to a science, if that is even possible, but dang girl! When do you breathe? Oh, the Mom Cave. I think Kelly is absolutely right, these blog pages would be welcome support to so many who are living your life and maybe not understanding they are not alone. <br />I am also very glad you have a partner in your life and sorry that he is, well, a man! LOL Men do not do sick very well, in general and unfortunately he's pretty typical!<br /><br />♥ u and keep writing!
