Child Free Day...for the most part
Today was a much better day than yesterday. Thanks for the good wishes Ash! I think they helped. Tom and I went to a park today with no children. It was kind of our "date day". We had not had one in a while and it was starting to show. Sometimes living with autism can be so stressful it is nice to kind of "get away" from it. It is imbedded in my brain but I think everyone knows what I mean by getting away. Thank God for my parents and the respite services provided for Logan. We got to ride roller coasters and get a free meal so it was all good. We rode the biggest, scariest, and fastest roller coaster they had twice. I kept my eyes open ( even on 2 huge drops) and screamed my head off. It was so awesome!!! We ran into friends we had not seen in a while so that was nice too. It was nice also to just take our time and walk around. My mom's employer had their company picnic there. After we got there this morning Tom said, "You know what I caught myself doing?" He caught himself looking in the rearview mirror every so often to see what the boys were doing. I guess you can never really get away from them. I know the boys are embedded in my heart forever. I can't imagine what my life would be like without them. All his issues aside, I would have been devastated if Logan had not come home from the hospital. He was very sick after I had him and almost did not make it home. It was nice to get away for a while. However, it was nice to kiss and hug them goodnight. God bless to all and thanks to those who take the time to read.
