So after learning that my youngest went to the Transformers movie this past weekend, I asked my oldest if he wants to go see it and of course he said yes. After all, he likes all their movies. So we’re planning to see it this Wednesday. Turns out it’s the fortieth anniversary of the movie and since it’s only at the theaters for a few more days, thankfully, I did manage to find it somewhere nearby and at a time I can do.

So after my class the other day, I got to thinking about my purpose in life. As I said the other day in my post In a Crowd, when you see somebody, they feel recognized and that’s important. In a way, I’ve often felt like I’ve not always been seen so I know that feeling

So this past weekend, my oldest and I went over to World Wide Technology Raceway in southern Illinois to watch the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race. Sitting next to me was a young man, who I have little doubt was autistic as well. Just like with my oldest and even the classes I teach at our local community college, autism is part of everyone’s world, we just have to look around.

So while we’re waiting to hear back about whether or no my oldest son still has his social security, I’m actually a little hopeful as he did get his latest check at the first of this month.

So my oldest surprised me this week when we passed this old exercise bike that had been sitting out in front of a neighbor’s yard for the last couple of weeks. When I decided to go pick it up and bring it to our house, my oldest surprised me when he said he could ride it while watching television. Something I never thought I’d hear him say but, no less, was a pleasant surprise. I guess we’ll see.

I have to say, despite the heat, my oldest really hasn’t complained all that much. The down side is my youngest and I probably won’t get to play tennis anytime soon. Again, on the upside is I’m off Monday for Labor Day. One day at a time.

So is it the word or the words that give me my perspective? While I may never know, I have to also think it’s life that plays a part in word, which in turn plays a part in the words. Maybe I’ll just let the words play out. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my kids, as they are part of my life.

I have to say, I’m not use to going to see a movie during the week. Again, perhaps another benefit of working a little less. My oldest and I went to see Paw Patrol, a movie he wanted to see. He seemed to enjoy himself and that’s time I truly treasure.

I guess with all that’s gone on lately, I have to say I’ve enjoying the quiet time that I’ve gotten. It’s giving me time to clean the house, work in the garden and figure out what’s next in life, both for myself and my oldest. For this, I should be thankful.
Thank you!

So when last we talked I believe, my oldest and I had an interview with a mental health individual to determine if my son still has a disability. Now we’re just waiting on what they found. I still can’t believe we had to go through all of this.
