Keeping this quick as it's been a long Monday. (But a great one. God bless my hubby who took me to lunch, followed by Daria who put it upon her heart to not only shop for my ingredients but come to my home and bake the best darn gluten free Sheppard's pie this side of Los Angeles.)

I have two things to say about the pie and my kid:

1: Re: pie - what would I do without friends like Daria and Ellen? All you T.S. mamas, get yourself a hot piping slice of community today. There's nothing like it.

2. Re: my kid - he did a super job talking to his third grade class! The highlite was he talked about all his tics, how he feels they make him "smart" and how he "loves" them because they are part of who he is.

The down side is he outed his mother. Stink: "You know, everyone has something, and my mama, she gets really nervous sometimes. So I'm just sayin', if you have T.S. and your mother gets crazy, tell her to just CALM DOWN!"

I wish I were kidding. (Though Ellen doesn't. She laughed her butt off.)

In closing, here's to kids who like themselves! (Even if a bit too much...)

Here's to community!

And here's to sheppard's pie!

    TICKED OFF: TOURETTES TALK

    "When You Can't Fix the Tics, Fix Yourself"

    Consider this is your 12-Step Tourettes Support Group where we will encourage each other to:

    1. Accept the tics we cannot change

    2. Change the tics we can

    3. And have the wisdom to know the difference.

    ABOUT ME
    My son, Stink, was diagnosed with mild Tourettes when he was 4. I was terrifed he would curse, shriek, scream and hump busses.

    Quite the opposite, he is highly creative, social and thriving.

    I keep his tics at a minimum through a gluten free/caesin free diet.

    While I haven't eliminated his tics altogether, I'm eliminating fear through a good dose of humor and acceptance.

    I hope you'll join me so we can support each other on this crazy journey. Welcome to Ticked Off.
