IHS uses techniques to get Keira to communicate. Keira learns the techniques and uses those techniques on us to try to help us learn to communicate. lol
Keira: “Dance.”
Me – starts dancing.
Keira: “I want ah dance please.”
Me – take Keira’s hands and start dancing.
Keira – walks me over to the TV: “Dance”
Me: “I don’t understand.”
Keira hangs head as if she’s disappointed in the progress that I’m making. Very slowly says “Daaaaannnnnce”
Me: “Music? Do you want Amazon Cloud?”
Keira – lifts my hand and puts it on the buttons on the TV (This would be something we would do to help her learn to do something)
Me – I turn on Amazon Cloud, Music Starts.
**Keira: “Give me a High Five. Great Job!” **
Apparently I made progress. lol

The Delicious No Oven Blueberry Muffin Recipe That…

The Delicious, No-Oven Blueberry Muffin Recipe That Only Take 3 Minutes (VIDEO)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/20/blueberry-muffin-recipe_n_5513071.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063
Moncel’s Blueberry Mug Muffin recipe:
Ingredients
¼ cup flour
1 Tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp baking powder
⅛ tsp salt
pinch cinnamon
½ Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp milk
1-2 Tbsp frozen blueberries
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well mixed.
2. Add the butter to the mug and use your fingers to rub or smoosh them together until no large chunks of butter remain and the mixture looks like damp sand.
3. Stir the milk into the butter/flour mixture. It should now resemble a thick muffin batter. If it’s too dry, add a splash more milk. Sprinkle blueberries over top and push them down into the batter. Microwave on high for approximately 90 seconds.
If you’re not craving mug muffins yet, the topping ideas Moncel suggests will change that fast.
“I like to do a little drizzle of maple syrup, that makes it extra pancake-like,” she says. “You can do honey, if you like. And sometimes, I even drop a little spoonful of peanut butter down into the batter before I microwave it, and that makes an extra gooey, peanut center and kind of gives that peanut butter and jelly effect with the blueberries.”

Last night I dreamt I moved into a…

Last night I dreamt I moved into a 2 story family house. Big front porch. All finished. There was a hallway that ran along the front of the house between the living room and the stairs so you didn’t have to walk back through the entire house to get to the staircase to go up stairs. We were almost moved in when I went into the bathroom to put stuff away when one of the girls went running through the hallway behind the bathroom the one that ran from the living room to the stairs. And that’s when I realized the bathroom didn’t have a back wall, it just opened into the hallway. It had a door on the side where you entered from the kitchen, but the bathroom was entirely open to the hallway. I just stood there watching Keira run back and forth from the stairs to the living room thinking “this is what they meant by open family style bathroom.”

ME Just let me get this straight You…

ME: Just let me get this straight. You weren’t paying attention and you were fiddling with something in your desk when your teacher yelled at you – and YOU’RE Angry?
*Pause*
ME: Would you have done that in TaeKwonDo?
Riley: No, of course not. In TaeKwonDo we show respect to our masters and instructors.
ME: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR TEACHER IS?
Riley: But I hate her!
ME: But she signs your permission slip for your next belt test.
Riley: I think …. maybe …. I need to reconsider apologizing.
*Pause*
Riley: But I hate her!
ME: I could have Mr. Littlefield explain respect to you.
Riley: Or I could just apologize. Apologizing sounds good.

Obama: http://www.rcfp.org/reporters-recording-guide/introduction
So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.
Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”

http://www.ipersonic.com
Dynamic Thinkers are confident and independent persons. They radiate enthusiasm and energy. Dynamic Thinkers pursue their objectives actively and energetically. They love nothing better than new challenges. This type is the born leader, competent, energetic and responsible.
They have a sharp eye for errors and can criticise without mercy if they see the success of a project endangered. They are completely unconcerned as to whether they alienate anyone in the process. But they are always open to objective arguments; they love discussions, they are very gifted rhetorically and they are good at convincing and enthusing others.
As they are very sociable, Dynamic Thinkers like to have a lot of friends around them, preferably those with whom they can share their interests and discuss all sorts of subjects. They are very direct but never in an underhand or scheming manner. If you can bear being spoken to frankly, you have in them a loyal and unwavering advisor as friend. Everything new and unknown stimulates Dynamic Thinkers and awakens their curiosity. However, rules, routine and traditional things arouse their resistance. If something does not go the way they want it to, they can react rather pigheadedly and obstinately.
» Get career advice for your type
Dynamic Thinkers expect a great deal of themselves and of others. Whoever does not fit in with their scheme of things does not have it easy. They sometimes appear to be rather severe due to their frankness. Partners and family also find it difficult to satisfy Dynamic Thinkers. They know exactly what they want and compromising is inconceivable to them. Whoever has an Dynamic Thinker as partner should have a strong personality and have a great deal of independence and sufficient self-confidence in order to give this dominating type some opposition. Normally, for Dynamic Thinkers, a partnership only takes second place after their profession. But they like to have someone at their side who is a match for them intellectually, with whom they can pursue mutual objectives and have interesting discussions all night long; preferably factual discussions – sentimentalism and romance are not their thing.
Adjectives that describe your type
extroverted, theoretical, logical, planning, rational, self-confident, ambitious, direct, open, severe, organised, determined, witty, independent, purposeful, dynamic, energetic, optimistic, competent, responsible, clever, intellectual, enthusiastic, demanding, structured, controlled, aggressive
Career Advice
Some of history’s most famous military leaders were not just coincidentally Dynamic Thinkers. Leadership runs in your blood. You are self confident, energetic and determined to reach your goals and if it is up to you, there won’t be any shilly-shallying. You are equally important in your work efficiency and effectiveness.
Strategic planning, long term considerations, creative problem solving, and absolutely exact case analyses are some of your strongest points. The quotation “I came, I saw and was victorious” (Caesar) could also be written on your flag. You comprehend even very complex situations quickly and completely, and immediately issue comprehensive instructions on how they must be dealt with.
The extroverted part of your personality provides you with excellent communication capabilities plus a certain charisma, making it easy for you to engage other people in your objectives. With all that, your visions are not limited to the existing and the contemporary, but frequently extend far into the future. For your professional satisfaction you need these objectives like you need air for breathing. You especially enjoy intellectual challenges and don’t care for victories too easily achieved.
Since you belong to the extroverted Thinker types, working in a solitary environment is not for you. In order to be happy, you need to be in the company of people, with new excitement and tasks plus a little action. Although this frequently provides for a great output the human (all too human) needs of your colleagues could easily end up being ignored. As an intuitive Thinker type, you are always focused on the objective of your task and the welfare of the company, respectively. You quickly have the number of those who are not disciplined and performance- oriented and prepared to work equally hard on the task.
