Here is a little update:
The kids are well now, yay! Molly got sick on Sunday but was fine by Monday. Parker is back to enjoying school. I had a nice day to myself today. I saw my therapist, paid bills and went to the mall. I'm looking forward to tomorrow since it's respite day. On Tuesday I went to an autism support group. It was so great to talk to other Mom's who just understand. Some of their stories were heartbreaking and some were not. It just lets you know that you are not alone and that you can overcome and get through things. I left there feeling really good about Parker and the progress he's making. I thanked God for the little angel he has given me. I just love both my kids so much. Saturday Molly is going to be part of a sibling study for one of Parker's therapists. She is writing her thesis on siblings of children with autism. She is going to get her PhD soon and leaving us. I'm really going to miss her. She is so smart and so nice. She is going to do so great! Sunday we are going to my brothers house for mothers day. That should be fun. That's about it.

A haircut and babysitting my Mom's dog.
This weekend we babysat my Mom's cute dog Lucki. She is so adorable and had so much fun with us! She loved chasing our cats and playing with the kids. Isn't she cute! I wish we could keep her.
On to the haircut. Parker hates getting his haircut with a passion. I decided to ask my neice who is a hairdresser if she thought I could do it myself. She did and told me how. I didn't do the best job, but it looks so much better. I'm pretty proud of myself. It's probably crooked, but his hair is very forgiving. Yay! Now I don't have to take him to get it cut so much, I can do it myself! He only had about 2 tears and then he realized it wasn't so bad! Yay!

I need to vent!
Autism makes life hard! I just need to get it out today! I'm sitting in my house with Parker plugging his ears. He won't go outside because, as usual, someone is mowing their lawn. I get so frustrated! I love him to death, I know it's not his fault, but some days are really hard. It was hot in the van but Parker didn't like the wind on him. He wanted french fries but would only eat the ones without the pointy ends, so he ate about 7 fries out of a medium, which is the only size he wants. I want to rest a little but I know it won't happen. He is constantly getting videos out and laying them all over the house. Trucks are everywhere. He's on edge with Molly. I had a rough day with my Mom. I just want to let it out today! Autism is hard, no matter how much you love your kids. I can't wear a pony tail much because Parker doesn't like them. I can't wear certain night gowns around him. Molly can't have an electric toothbrush. I have to blow dry my hair when Parker isn't home or endure him being afraid. I have to avoid parties and things if I know Parker won't like them. It's hard and I just want to get it out. Sorry you had to listen to my vent.

Thank you Jesus!
Parker is not sick today! He hasn't thrown up all day! He's drank all day and ate 4 small bowls of Top Ramen! I am so happy! He is so happy! He's sleeping in his bed tonight and I couldn't be happier! I was so worried about him. I hope I never have to see him that sick again!
