<\/a>— 1 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Posting later than usual.<\/strong> I usually have these written on Thursday night to post as soon as the link-up page goes up. (I’m on the West Coast so it’s 10 p.m. PDT for me.) Last night, however, my mind was a little too scattered so I decided to just skip this week. Then, I was awoken this morning by my clowder (the word for a collective of cats) who apparently can see the bottom of their food dish and felt that 5 a.m. was an appropriate time to tell me. (Cats, you are SOL. Go wake up the other adult human.) So… here we go!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Orphans.<\/strong> Do you see this handsome boy?<\/p>\n Brett<\/a> needs a mama.

(My fundraising page will be public soon.) They’d like to use my 5-7 minute spiel as a fundraising piece so I’m having to get it written by this weekend. Could y’all pray that I can do this? I have no fear of public speaking but I do need to get this written. Please and thank-you.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Prayer request #2.<\/strong> I know I’ve been really vague about my special intention for the last two weeks and I appreciate everyone who has been praying for it. Could you please continue praying for discernment for those involved, that I would be able to forgive, and that I would have consolation and peace in the midst of the waiting game that is going on? Thanks!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A good definition of ABA.<\/strong> For those who read my Simple Woman’s Daybook posts, you probably see me mention ABA therapy every week. This<\/a> is a good explanation of what it is. For those who don’t have time to read the article, it’s a methodology for working with autistic kids where you achieve the behavior desired through reinforcing it and you modify the behavior by modifying the antecedent (what comes before the behavior).<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Stopping here.<\/strong> I honestly don’t have anything else this week so I’m stopping here.
