I think my special gifts are helping people, procrastinating, making people laugh and driving men away.

I'm with you, I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up either. I liked teaching but hated all of the politics. I believe my gifts are that I am good with people (especially children), I love to learn new things, I am a big planner, I love the great outdoors and work hard to do all that I can to take care of our planet :) I do believe that all of these gifts help me to be the mom that I am.

I reslly likr sll of u're positive posts Connie. What about cooking as a special skill for you?

I guess you could say that my special skill is photography but I am still such a novice. Maybe I will get better over time - maybe I won't but I still really enjoy it!

Those were interesting facts to learn about you. I love that you're using your skills to raise your kids; I feel that way, too.

My Dad became a flight instructor when I was 15 years old. He started giving me lessons when I was 16 and I did great at the flying part...but I'd get airsick and not be able to land the plane.

I have a funny flying/date store...I should tell it sometime.

WOW....I had no idea you knew how to fly a plane. ...

WOW....I had no idea you knew how to fly a plane. Good to know.

I am totally looking forward to watching Parenthood off the DVR tonight.

And, you always make me smile and feel better!! ((HUGS))

You are very good at making people laugh! That special skill is a fantastic one that I look forward to!

I watched parenthood and like it. I was excited by most of the actors on the show. I was in tears too by the end, but because of Lauren Graham's character talking with her son about being there for him and never leaving.. it really hit home.

you surprised me with the pilot thing! :)

Christina....I was in tears at the end of that show. My husband thinks that our son has symptoms of autism but I don't think so....I hope I'm not just in denial.

I am happy though that they have this aspect in the show because maybe it will give people more compassion.

Hugs to you!

Oh, and being a pilot??? AWESOME! But again I agree with 3 Men and a Lady ... the landing is the most important part!!!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to watch "Parenthood". The whole Max situation hits too close to home. I was bawling by the end of the show. When Adam watched Max totally ignore a kid who said hello .. wow .. that is my reality. Teaching your child how to have friends, how to interact with other children, how to PLAY with others ... it's not something you think you would ever have to do. Thankfully, we caught our son's autism early and early intervention truly makes a difference. Our son has a great chance at life b/c of the awesome people who helped him/us.

My special gift? I think that's it. Working with my son. I loved my career as a political consultant. Politics was my passion. Getting good conservatives in office was my job. I loved it. I missed it sooo much when I became a stay-at-home mom but now I can see why I was blessed with the son I was given. My determination that I used to be a success at work was able to be used toward pulling Cole out of his autism.

Now to use that determination to clean this house ... which is totally disgusting. :o)

I didn't see it, but I want to. What time does it...

I didn't see it, but I want to. What time does it come on? I'm not sure I'll have a place on the DVR for it. I wonder if I can catch it online.

Special gift..... I don't know about that one. I like to read, and I'm pretty sure you can't turn that into anything. But I like to craft and sew too. I just don't have the room. Maybe you should come organize for me so that I'll have a "space" to do that kind of stuff. :)

Yes...if we are traveling together and the pilot passes out. I can total fly the plane!

I really liked Parenthood! If you like Brother's and Sister's...you'll like this. I love Lauren Graham and Dax Sheperd. My husband even liked it!

Fun writing assignment. If anyone needs someone to fly a plane mid-flight, nice to know you can help out! Hopefully there is someone on board who can land it for us too. :)

I didn't watch Parenthood - what did you think?
