Is it really 2009 already?

Last year went so fast and now we're already a month into 2009. I can't seem to keep up anymore. I've been working on an exciting project to create an all inclusive Autism resource center in the Tri-Cities (Autism Connections of Eastern WA) and I'm hoping that will be the big thing this year. It will be so wonderful to have one place where families can go for help. We've got a website up already with a down-loadable resource guide, check it out & share it with friends! .
We're still having a little too much fun at the middles school level this year. We were forced to call the police and file a report on another student after he told my son he was going to bring a gun to school. This student had been harassing my son since last Spring and yet there were no disciplinary actions on file for it. He got a slap on the wrist, but by us sending the cops to his house we finally got things to stop. Now we're struggling with a teacher that feels my son is lazy and a liar, when the real problem is he has a communication disorder and she's not following his IEP. It's sad when it's the teachers making things difficult and not the students.
I'm still working hard at the bridal shop (Formal Couture) and hoping to put on a Prom fashion show in the next month or so. Anyone know any cute teens that want to model some dresses? :)
This year I've decided to pay a bit more attention to this blog and at least aim for a monthly entry.... so someone out there in web-land remind me, please!
Happy 2009!!!
