Hi,
My name is Misty. I currently live in Southern Indiana with my husband (and best friend) Jon, our soon to be 8 year old daughter, our son that will turn 5 on March 18, and our youngest son that turns 4 in June. All three of our children have multiple special needs. I am an Early Childhood Educator, I am the Director/Owner & Lead Teacher. I love working with children. I myself try to have general ed and special ed integrated in my class. I have learned more from the children I teach then they will ever learn from me.
My husband is transfering to the Cary/Durham area. My children are so excited about moving but as parents we are anxious. My husband, nor I, have ever been to NC. We have just 6 weeks to find a family friendly, safe, developmentally appropriate school that will continue to help my children grow. Early Intervention has done so much for my children. Each of my children has an IEP but how does that work when you transfer schools this close to the end of the school year? My sons both transitioned out of the early intervention program into Public Pre-K. It has worked wonders for my middle son as well as my youngest. Is it the same in NC? Can my youngest still attend school although due to his disability he is not Potty Trained? My husband and I are making the 11 hour drive to Cary Friday 3/12 and staying until 3/14 then making the 11 hour drive back sunday at 6 am. If anyone can point me in the right direction as far as schools, townhomes, apartments, or anything at all please feel free to contact me.
I have so much to do in 6 weeks. Like most special needs children, mine do not take kindly to changes in routine. CONSISTANCY IS KEY! We have no choice but to move, I just wish we knew where we were going :) !

Hi everyone! My name is Katie. I live in Cary with my wonderful husband, Keith, and 2 year old daughter, Kayla. We are a fun active family who enjoy getting out and meeting new people. I'd love to meet other moms in the area, grab a cup of coffee, set up a playdate, or just get away for some 'me' time.
I look forward to meeting moms and sharing our mommy stories.
Sincerely,
***(:Katie:)***

Get ready!
The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus will be at the RBC Center February 24-28, and we've got tickets!
We're giving away two family-four packs of tickets to see the 11 a.m., Feb. 27, show. Two lucky winners will enjoy the show from a catered luxury suite at the RBC Center!
Bonus: You'll share a bathroom with 10 people instead of thousands.
What do you need to do to win? Just answer the question below by posting it in the comments box.
The question: What is your earliest circus memory?
I'll start off. My earliest memory of the circus isn't really of the circus at all but of the photos my parents tried to take at the circus. Evidently, they thought our little instamatic in the dark coliseum would capture the splendor of the circus. But all we got was a black background and the bright orange metal bars that separated the audience from the three rings.
