A shitty day

Hi all, long time no autism blogging here. Hoping to write more often because us autism moms really need to vent and give people a glimpse into our world. 

Today was a shitty day! No really it was! ...ok well it started out shitty literally. Believe me no joke. My day started with waking up walking towards my son and  daughters room and getting hit with the smell of poop. Oh no i thought ... my lil guy and his bed were covered in poop. Yup i was freaking out!  Out of all the bodily fluids (and solids) poop in my book is the worst. ...so needless to say zach had a early morning shower and the sanitizing and washer began. And that was all before breakfast. Here's to hoping for less future shitty days and more blog posts .  Have a great weekend!

Someday hopes and wishes

Some day i hope we will get to the beach as a family and not have to worry about my lil guy running off.

Some day we will be able to go to a friend or families house and not have follow him everywhere and protect him from everything

Some days i wish people will understand that some days are just so hard and isolating

Some day i hope my lil guy uses more words and can have conversations with us and people around him.

Some day when he gets older i hope that he goes to college, can meet someone and get married

Some day i hope and wish we all get to disney world together and have a blast

..........
For now we push on do the best we can and know how.....

i am amazed all the things he has struggled with and gotten thru.

Truth!

Feeling a lil helpless today

8-29-16 Hi all, i am feeling a lil helpless today. The other night my legs were hurting in the night and i could not get comfortable. I remember tossing and turning so much. Well i must have twisted or did something to my hip because now i can barely stand on it and omg to bending to sit and get up. Needless to say chasing zach my sensory seeking boy around is not an option today.  

Hoping for a better day tomorrow sincerely Jennifer taylor 

3:40 am

Yes 3:40 am. That is the time zach woke up today in his bed giggling. I laid in bed with him in an attempt to get him back to sleep he fell back to sleep at 5am and woke up fotlr the day at 7:30 am . I am so tired! 

To nap or not to nap

Hi all, my lil guy is 4 and he usually needs a nap but sometimes doesn't take one😡 and of course i get nothing done when that happens. Do yours still nap?  I think because his sleep patterns are so crazy sometimes he really needs one even though he doesn't always take one .

( warning i am rambling and changing topic.. Lol! ) My lil guy has boundless energy and will jump every last bit of energy out til he lays down and falls asleep. Just watching him do this is exhausting. Tommorrow we have a busy day he and his sister have a sensory program at our library and then a swim lesson after lunch. Which means i am sure he will nap tommorrow:)  and maybe  my dh and i will actually get some chores done and the girls ( our 14 and 6 yr old) and i some much needed haircuts.
school starts in 12 and a half days:) yay! ttys!

Darn the full moon!!

Darn the full moon! It has to mess everything up! Lol! No really it does! For up to a week before a full moon zach will have late naps and shorter sleeping stretches like the night before last he took a late nap and then wouldn't budge at 6,7 pm finally he woke at 8 pm and we didn't go to bed til 2 am. Oh last night he went to bed at midnight..and still woke up for  the day at 7 am . Ugh! These kind of weeks are the most exhausting of all. Yesterday pretty much the same he napped long and this time i fell asleep right after he did while my dh and gorls went swimming. No amount of coffee can keep me awake when i get that tired. 

So to nap or not to nap? Well when it gets too late i try to keep him awake but sometimes the meltdowns and grumpiness gets too much for him and i let him take a late nap. How about you? Oh! I found this calendar online in case ya need to prepare yourself for future full moons. Happy full moon week!!! :( have a coffee for me! 

Talk to ya soon !
