We've all seen the funny memes "You may be an autism mom if..." all of which probably wrote by an autism mom to shed some light hearted humor on their situation. You have to laugh to keep from crying most days. While cooking Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, I had to laugh at the fact that in that moment I was a real life meme.

My Real Life Meme

Most Autism parents can tell you, your kids can have some strange eating habits. My daughter only has a handful of things that she eats, none of which are exactly healthy. Scrambled eggs is the healthiest thing she will eat, however she has a slight allergy to cow's milk and eggs, so her ENT told me she can only have them once every couple of weeks. 

Little Miss Thang has had bows put in her hair since she was born. Nowadays I do less bows and more style but we still do bows quite a bit. With her ever developing attitude, most days ripping her bows out of her hair is my "punishment" when I tick her off!  As I sat here this afternoon, posting some items to Poshmark, she started bringing me her bows one by one and wanting them in my hair. She was very meticulous about where on my head each bow went. With Autism can come some OCD type behaviors, with Lil B they are hit or miss with what she is going to be so anal about, but lucky me this got to be one of them that everything had to be just right. <Sigh> Oh well... if she's not wrecking the house or being a complete asshole, most the time I just go with it, most things just aren't worth the fight, and not a whole lot gives her a genuine smile. Unfortunately she is refusing to let me remove these from my head!! Let's hope I remember to take them out before B2's doctor appointment this afternoon. I've accidentally ran to the store before with one of her bows in my hair, I can only imagine the looks this would get!
 Regardless of the weird bow crown on my head, her not looking at the camera, or the fact that she has her pant legs pulled all the way up to her booty, this picture is perfect, because of that smile! That true Lil B smile is a heart melter!! Maybe with her beautiful work she's done here I can find a man.... HA!!! Totally kidding!

Who am I and what am I doing here? Honestly, hell if I know...

My name is Kira Morris. I am a mom. I am a special needs mom. I am a homemaker (is that the politically correct way to say it nowadays??) . Now wait, before you go closing this thinking it's another one of "those" same ol same ol blogs, it's not! Well maybe it is, I don't know.
To be honest I'm not even sure what "kind" of blog this is. It's my thoughts, it's my day, it's my outlet.
Blogging has crossed my mind many of times over the last year or two. I've always pushed the thought away, it's been years since I've wrote and who wants to hear what I have to say anyways? Maybe someone does though. Maybe there's someone who needs to see that the same crazy bullshit happens in other people's lives too. The same "WTF why is this my life" moments are shared by many and that you're not alone. One day you may be able to read a blog here of the struggle I had that day of my 8 year old with the smart mouth blurting something out that shouldn't have been said. The next, my angry post of Lord only knows what, letting out my frustrations to keep me from ripping someone's face off. Hell, you may even get a good ol ding bat blond moment post, I do have those moments a lot. Oh and in case you haven't notice by the title of my website and the couple of times I've done it already, I do cuss a little. Okay, sometimes a lot. I'm generally a good person though, lol. My writing style does change depending on my mood and topic, I swear it's only me writing even though one day's post may be completely different format than the previous. So if you are still with me through all these ramblings, let me tell you just a bit about myself.
Like I said earlier, I am a mom. A mom that probably should have actually done her hair and makeup and taken a great picture for this blog, BUT yeah that doesn't happen often and this pic happened to be in my phone. So there ya go, no makeup. Lovely. Anywho... I have three amazing kids. All of their names start with B and for the sake of keeping some privacy they will be referred to as B1, B2, and Lil B. My world is a bit different. My mom, my husband, and I all bought a house together; doing this gave me some more assistance with the kids as it can be difficult taking Lil B everywhere I need to be taking the older two(more about that later). My husband and I are currently separated however so he no longer lives here with us. I honestly couldn't tell you much more about me, I'm trying to relearn myself as we speak. Now to introduce you to my beautiful little demons ;)
