Jacquie,

I don't really have anything comforting to say, but {{{Jacquie}}}} and I

agree with crawling back under the covers once you're able. GO FOR IT!!!

He doesn't look autistic until times like these

Greggory has a baseball game at 11am. It is 10am right now. He is supposed

to be getting ready. He dopes this very well on his own. He tells me he cant

find his uniform. Ugh. Ok where is it? The pants are in the clean dry

laundry in the dryer. OK. The shirt is wet in the washewr. Not good. Alec is

tantruming and Yessenia is even more needy than usual. Greggory is looking

for his cap. He is whining that will will be late. I am guessing he is

probably right but it is only a 2 minute drive to the baseball park and we

have an hour. Alec is within an inch of losing his life. He keeps getting

into the dog run through the doggu door and letting the dogs in (they have

to stay out because of yessenia's asthma) and he is kicking me and throwing

things at me. Greggory is ignoring all of this and continues to whine about

his uniform and how we will be late. I tell him I am not going to be able to

stay at the game and will be back to pick him up after the game. He starts

to freak out! Gre ggory is just fine at practice and school and playdates

and everything without me. But this is differewnt I guess and is having a

total meltdown. But I cannot watch Alec and take care of yessenia for an

hour and a half towatch Greggory play. So I tell him then we will have to

probably miss the game. UGh. That was a stupid thing to say. He is even

worse. I tell him to find his cap and we will figure something out. I have

no idea what though. And where is Jeff? He is playing Fucking frisbee! I

told him that Greggory had a game this morning and that my Dad was coming

down (1.5 hours from here) to talk to me about his will and other stuff and

Jeff said he would try and be back. Because my Dad for some reason(really

his wife) want to go out for lunch at a nice resturant for a quiet talk.

Bleech. I didnt want to do it anyway. So I call my dad and he gets pissy

about me not being able to go and I cant leave the kids and now all of this

is my fault. To hell with everyone today! I am going to crawl under the

covers and let the house go to hell.(Once Yessenia is down for a nap. ugh)

This is the side of our kids that most people don't see. They don't have a

clue what we're talking about until they happen to see our kids like this.

My new sil finally understood after we went on a short trip together last

summer.

I think Jeff needs his butt kicked for today. He should have been there for

Greggory's game! Your dad should be more understanding too. It's not like

you waited till he got there to tell him you can't do it!

I hope you get your nap.

I've thought about this alot lately. Why can't he see it? Then I listed the

things that he does with her. Play AAAAAaaaaaaboom throwing self on

mattress, take her grocery shopping while filling her full of freebies

snacks, ride in the car, go to the playground, watch tv, roughhouse, give

bath.

Well no wonder he doesn't have any problems with her he gets all the fun and

easy stuff! So yesterday it was going to be different. We went to the

Easter Day at the local farm. There was a Moonbounce. I tried to get him to

get her out of it. He could not. So before he started yelling I went and

got her out. She went on the swings and slides. After about half an hour he

said why don't you watch her and went off to get a soda. I think he realizes

that when she's around other kids we need to be careful. She did really well

though. But when one of the bigger kids blocked her way she just pushed on

by saying nothing.

At our local support group we were talking about this and everyone mentioned

how easy it was when we were " doing " something. When he's trying to cook its

my job to entertain her. But when I'm cooking it's also my job to entertain

her. It's all very frustraining and to be honest I'm getting resentful.

Anyway... I hope this helps in some way to realize that someone else feels

the same.

Oh YES!!!!!!!!!! Boy do I hear you on that!! Or eating. Hubby usually

finishes eating before me. Does he stay and keep occupied so I can

finish my meal in peace? Nope. Just walks off to watch TV in the bedroom.

Or, he can be playing with in the bedroom, roughhousing on the bed,

and then just gets up and walks into his office. Uhm, excuse me? Who's

watching the rugrat??? GGGRRRRRRRRRR!
