When remodeling, always keep in mind the story of “ If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”. The story goes on that he will then want a glass of milk, then he will want to watch tv and so on and so on. So, if you want to replace your old built-in microwave ( that was melted by my son) you are going to want to go ahead and install new cabinets. If you want new cabinets you are going to want to change the countertops to granite. If you put in granite you need to put in a new sink which means you might as well put in a new backsplash. Now that you have replaced the countertops you might as well put in new flooring. If you need to put in new flooring you need to go ahead and paint as well. If you are painting you might as well replace all the lighting. Ok, you have done most of the kitchen do you redo the laundry room as well to match?
This is why I don’t give mice anything.
This week I am going to send out a survey for parents of adult special needs kids. My wife and a friend have put together this survey with the goal of giving us insight as to what to do when our kids transition into adulthood( something I personally have never been able to do). If you know someone you could pass it on to that would be great. Understand, that when you see this survey, that my wife is much more intelligent than I (please don't tell her this) and so the wording will be much more eloquent than mine. Please don’t expect this level of eloquence in the future.
