Team TLC movie night for March 17, 2012 – The Rescuers (amazon affiliate link)
★★★★★ – Thomas and Lillian both enjoyed this movie. They were laughing for many scenes and sat still for the entire move. I loved how the movie’s underlying story was that of faith … never lose faith in yourself and your dreams. Any G Rated movie with that message as it’s foundation gets more than five stars in my book. Enjoyed by all of Team TLC!!

Thomas went to Kids Zone today. Got to go see a movie and do arts and crafts! I don’t think the movie was a G rated movie. Not pleased about that, but now I know to avoid Kids Zone on movie days or make sure ahead of time it will be a G rated movie.
Lillian went with me to a coffee meeting this morning at Kona Coffee. What a great chat with Laura Coger. Laura is a lovely lady with tons of insight and connections to share with me regarding my services as a Special Needs Life Coach and my book.
Then it was off to Trader Joe’s for Lillian and I. Still had $20 on our gift card that Kimberly Phipps-Nichol gave me for my birthday. I just love that place and apparently 10:30 am is THE TIME to go to avoid it being so crowded!!
Next up an 11:30 chat with another new friend, Carolyn Smith. Carolyn has recently realized she has a CHOICE in her life and is making big changes. She wanted to chat about my journey up to this point. It was a nice chat with a beautiful lady!
Busy Day!! Then, it was a 1:00 phone meeting with my editor and book designer. YAY! We will go to print next Thursday, March 29th!! So excited!!
Lillian and I picked up Thomas from Kids Zone about 5:15 and headed home. I made dinner, we ate, and then I helped Thomas put together a Lego Roadster!! I LOVE putting legos together with him!
He was having so much fun playing with it, he didn’t want to go to bed!

Time for Thomas to come home today! His two weeks vacationing with The Romanos has come to an end. I’m so happy and grateful he got to have this vacation with them and to have them all to himself. Thomas … Continue reading
Our day began with me speaking at The Atlantis. That was a treat for Lillian … attending a luncheon and getting to eat corned beef. She was a bit overwhelmed by all of the attention, but she enjoyed herself. Started getting a bit bored near the end. She was a trooper though.
We came home for a bit before heading to tour a potential school for Thomas and Lillian for next year … High Desert Montessori in Sparks. We both loved the school.
I really like the Montessori teaching method. It’s an individualized education, non-traditional grading system, NO HOMEWORK, academics are taught by having the children determine how to find the answers {instead of giving them facts from a book and then testing them on it}, teaching them about real life and how what they are learning relates to real life, mixing the grade levels so if they are behind in one area they can keep doing it til mastered and if they are ahead they can move forward … What a CONCEPT!!!!!! I think it’s as close to homeschooling as you can get; without it actually being homeschooling! They have pets in each class that the kids take care of. They teach them how to plant and grow a garden, how to be self-sufficient and how to work together. I toured the private Montessori school last week and yesterday’s tour was the public charter school. I actually liked the public one better – it seems to be a better fit for Lillian. Lillian liked it too!!! Next step is to meet with the Vice Principal and discuss all my concerns regarding Lillian. We are on our way to being registered!!! Since they are a public school they absorb the IEP she already had. I told them I don’t want any therapies. I just want to keep the private therapies in place and she will just leave school early on Tuesdays to go to her therapies.
Then it was off to Great Basin Brewery for our favorite …. Garlic Fries!! I ordered a salad, a $1 slice of pizza and a happy hour mug of Jackpot Porter to wash it down!
Lillian and I had fun creating wedding dresses using one of her iPhone apps.
