AHAH Moment

So tonight I was listening to RoadSchool Mom's podcast and I had what I will refer to as my AHAH moment.   They mentioned me, in my 3.5 minutes of fame.  They talked about my children and their deep resistance to this upcoming adventure and I realized I was the problem.  They are teenagers.  They are supposed to whine and complain and fight everything with lets say a 30 percent force.  Well If I am on board 100% they only pull me down to a steaming 70%.  That's not bad.  Well on the other hand if I am 50/50 and not fully on board, with an equal amount of force, then got me going 20......  What a difference my attitude makes.  SO starting tomorrow. I am on board 100%.  This is my choice.  This is deliberate, exact, and purposeful.  This is my family and our life and I intend to get 100% out of it, for the rest of the time we are a family.  So My attitude can make a difference in my kids.  Now according to the experts, it will take six months to a year.....and given that we have autism running through our veins quite strongly, I am going to opt for the year just in case.  The adventure of a lifetime is about to begin and I am so excited.
