A school talent show...

Yesterday our son Keith Prinkey sang his heart out, and I loved every minute of it. He really can sing, and I am so proud of all the work he put into singing with his class. I have a little Artist on my hands. He loves to sing, and draw most of all. Traits he has to get from me....He will always be very talented, and I am so blessed to have him as a son....He's the one in the front wearing the blue shirt in the pictures...I love my baby boy....

For my Natalya

I made this in one hour with my fathers old dremel, and some paint...I love it....

Life...

It's Sunday morning at my house, and I can't seem to get these two songs out of my mind, and had to post them. My father loved Bruce Springsteen and I shared his love for this singer. He is very talented, and I feel one of my many inspirations in life. His songs are real, and to the heart many times, and the Secret Garden and Should I fall behind are my favorites of his many songs. The song I will one day play at my wedding, if there ever is one will be Should I Fall Behind. I don't think I will ever get married though, cause for some unknown reason I am still not good enough in some eyes...I know I am though, and one day I will find that person who doesn't care what others think and loves me enough to just tell everyone else they love me to much to care what they think...

My Personality

Neuroticism	28
Extraversion	84
Openness to Experience	72
Agreeableness	60
Conscientiousness	86

You do not feel nervous in social situations, and have a good impression of what others think of you, however high levels of stress can lead to you feeling panic or confusion, but usually you cope with day to day pressures. You like crowds but sometimes feel overwhelmed by them. Sometimes you feel like you need some privacy and time for yourself. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You find helping other people genuinely rewarding and are generally willing to assist those who are in need. You find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice, however you are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making objective judgments based on reason. You are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy. You have strong will-power and are able to overcome your reluctance to begin tasks. You are able to stay on track despite distractions.

Fire Gift....

I had to do a discussion thinks week on other "fire givers" that students chose. I picked two people I thought that they posted that were good fire givers. I chose Anne Frank for one, who I feel was a fire giver because she was so optimistic in times of great tragedy in her life. She managed to be a quote unquote a normal teenager, even though her who life had been threatened with just the possibility of being taken away from all. I also chose the Wright brothers. I chose them because their fire gift to the world was the gift of flight. Without them, I couldn't get to my family in as little as an hour and a half. I believe this was a good discussion because it helped me to understand the different fire gifts people can give, and I hope to one day be someone other than my children's fire gift....

The beginning of my journey

I must start by saying this last year was the hardest of my life. I have been through many tragedies in my life, but none as hard as loosing my own father has been. He was my everything, and in an instant his card was called, and he was gone. I remember it like it was yesterday. The day before my 26th birthday, and I found him myself. He was all I had, and then he was gone. I felt my heart rip out of my chest, and then it returned to me as a different one. I lost myself for seven months, and had no reason to live in my own eyes other than for my children. Finally I realized he would not approve of me just wasting away to nothing, and I picked myself up with no help from anyone, and moved on. I decided to make the man proud of me, and entered Kaplan University Online for my degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis. I entered this program, because it hits very close to home for me. My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS or Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. At two years old, and it has effected every aspect of our lives. He is a wonderful child though, and without the services that he received, he would not have been able to attend a main stream school with any success. I want to one day be able to diagnose children, and help them the same way our son, and ourselves were helped. There are many children out there today being diagnosed on the spectrum, and I feel that I can be a great asset to this field one day, and know that I would make a much better psychologist than the one who diagnosed my own son. She was heartless, so to say, and I feel that people deserve a psychologist who understands where they are coming from, and have been there themselves. I have taken the initiative to get my degree, and this blog is where I will post everything about what it's like to be a full time mother of two children, one four, and one five diagnosed on the spectrum, going back to school full time, and handling Bi-Polar disorder with my head held high.
