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.
