"My mom is great because she took me to Star Trek: The Experience."
This is one of the pages in the book that Michael made me for Mother's Day at his school. We did go there in 2008 in the last week it was in operation. Maddox and I had a great time there and I was really happy to see that he still remembered it.
Currently, Michael is doing well. He is making progress and he's stable. Other friends of mine who have schizophrenic children aren't faring so well. I wish we had the infrastructure to help all families who have children with severe mental illness.
Back to Michael. We went to the park last weekend. We went to a park on Saturday that was close to our house, and then another on Sunday after we ate out. Michael made appropriate choices and he was able to find another child to play with at the first park. That child gave him a can of sprite (there was a birthday party going on and the child was invited.) They played together for almost 2 hours and I was standing there just so happy that he has this ability now. He didn't have it even 6 months ago. Seeing his rapid progress at his amazing school is just, heartbreaking in the best way.
Now, if I can just get him to put his clothes away...

Shopping Guide to Last Minute Buying of Mother's Day Gifts
There are lots of people who shop for on the last minute in order to
get good deals regardless of the occasion. They disregard how great a
mad rush to the shopping center or how long time they have to wait in
order to get to the shelf or the cash register. They believe that last
minute shopping is the best way to in order to get something good.
Let's discuss a few important guidelines to help you shop for Mothers
Day gifts.
Last minute shopping for gifts for your mother for Mother's Day start when there is only around two weeks left until Mother's Day. Hence, your Mother's day shopping should start at least by the start of May. Those people who shop for a gift for their mother for Mother's Day on the same week when Mother's Day fall, they are most likely a forgetful child.
When talking about the things that you can give to your mother on Mother's Day, you should have a gift in mind prior to shopping. If you have a plan for a gift that is selling the hottest, then expect that they are most likely to go out of stock in the last week. It is very important to have a gift in mind so that when you see them on the market, you can purchase them instantly. Most of these good gifts is available in the first week of May. Thus, even if you do your shopping on the last minute shopping, you should have a clear idea on what to purchase. You might see the gift that you have in mind in an unlikely place, and you should be ready to purchase it. For example, I planned to give a vase to my mother last year because she is a vase collector. I found an old man selling 3 pieces of beautiful vases in different sizes along the street. When I saw it, I know they are the perfect gifts I can give to my mother. It was sold at a very reasonable price. When I gave it to my mom, it turns out that 2 of the vases are the ones she searched a long time to complete a collection.
When giving Mothers Day gifts, it is very important that it has a surprise factor. If your mom lives within the same city, then you can hand carry your gifts and visit her. Of course, this doesn't have anything to do with shopping. This is to check whether you give the right gift or not based on her reaction when she gets her gift.
