Silly Fool

Men really do amaze me.  Mr Big came over tonight to fix my lightbulb.  You need 6ft men to come over and do those sort of things when you're only 4'11.  But, since when did "Can you come change my lightbulb" translate to "Let's get hot and naked and do it on the sink?" 

I did get my lightbulb fixed.  He went home. 

I broke up with you for a reason.  No, not the sex.  The sex was banging.  But you, you don't know the meaning of the word monogomous.  But evidently you know the meaning of the word lightbulb.  

Bye bye.

How Was Your Day?

Hmmm, a fun day had by all *insert heavy sarcasm here

My little monster angel drove me absolutely bonkers all day.  Since he was told to go to his room 2 hours and not to return until the morning, I can think of the events of the day with a clear head.  He was extremely super hyper.  I was already in a bad mood to begin with.

Pops really really really ticks me off.  I love him dearly.  But he still pisses me off.  He does absolutely nothing around the house.  Seriously, nothing.  He's worse than DJ.  I understand he's unhappy.  He's been depressed ever since he and my mother split up (6+ years ago.)  He doesn't take care of himself.  He doesn't take care of anything around here and my biggest complaint...he doesn't shower. 

He spent the whole day (morning, noon and night) at the kitchen table.  Subtract the 1 hour he took to go to the store and the 15 minutes he was in the shower-finally.  Did not lift one little finger to do anything!

I'm really fed up.  His bathroom was DISGUSTING.  I don't know the last time he cleaned or if he ever cleaned it.  I spent 1 hour cleaning his bathroom.  Yes, one hour cleaning a BATHROOM.  I didn't even touch the tub or the sink.  I'm just talking about the toilet area.  How gross. 

This is a day on a weekend (or a day when Pops is off) at my house.  BTW, he sleeps at my kitchen table.  I guess I can understand it if you haven't washed your sheets for months.  But, hey, they don't come clean on their own.  You actually need to take them OFF the bed and throw them in the washer.  Trust me, the sheets will appreciate it.  I'll greatly appreciate. 

He wakes up for a bit and wants to watch TV.  DJ is playing video games on the TV.  He'll tell DJ to go play on the computer or something.  So DJ will go in the bedroom he was supposed to share with Pops.  But then after about 1/2 hour, Pops decides he wants to lay down on the bed.  He kicks DJ out the room because he makes too much noise.  DJ comes back in and plays video games or something else.  Then Pops wakes up and bitches because he can't watch TV because DJ monopolizes the television.

I really think Pops contributes greatly to how DJ acts.  During the week when it's just us, he is much more calmer.  On days when Pops is off or the weekends, he's just out of control.  I really wish I never asked him to move in.  Though before I asked him to move in, I was over his house every weekend because he needed company.  I was getting nothing done here at my apartment.

Seriously, it's just a vicious circle.  When you try to tell Pops something, he gets pissed.  The only thing he does around here is puts the dishes in the dishwasher after dinner on the weekends.  I get to turn it on.  I do trash, cooking, cleaning, vacuuming, picking up, etc, etc. 

I had to do all this today.  I'm tired.  I'm sore.  I'm not doing this anymore.  This cooking crap.  I had to call PIC up to come over and do the stuffing and mashed potatoes so I could actually take a shower. 

I just want to run away from home!

I Am Thankful For....

  • I'm thankful for DJ first and foremost.  He is the wind beneath my wings.  Without him I don't know where I'd be.  He gives my life purpose and meaning.  He gave me a reason to stop being such a screw up and something positive!  He's taught me patience and unconditional love. 

  • I'm thankful for Pops and all he's done for me.  He's gone above and beyond.  I'm especially grateful he purchased a new car for himself and let's me drive it everywhere.

  • I'm thankful for PIC who listens to me gripe and moan all the time (for 10+ years)  That's love.

  • I'm thankful for my job and my boss who lets me come and go as I please and is very flexible with my time.

  • I'm thankful for my education which is going to get me more money and the ability to further secure DJ's future.

  • I'm thankful for all my other wonderful mothers out there (via the internet and RL) who have children on the autistic spectrum.  They are there for me whenever I need to cry, whenever I need to celebrate or whenever I need a hug.  I have received tons of support and loads of questions answered.  They keep me strong, keep me focused. 

  • I'm thankful for the calculator I purchased.  Even though I can figure out rates, interest, cd's, future values and all that other fun stuff, I seem to have forgotten how to mulitply, divide, add and subtract.

Have a happy and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Do I Really Feel Like Doing This?

Before I go into my rant of the day, I wish to rant about my sore mouth.  One hour yesterday and one hour today, my mouth was opened wide.  NO, not for THAT!  Sickos.  I had 2 dentist appointments.  Cavities on either side of my mouth.  My dentist was novocaine happy and it took me thwee houws to thop feewing numb.  Now that the numbness has worn off, I'm sore.  It's only sore when I open my mouth.  I'm gone to be one pissed off honey if I'm having problems eating tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, guess who's cooking?  That's right, me.  I refused to go all out this year because it's just me, DJ, and Pops.  Oh, and the cat.  The cat LOVES Thanksgiving.  I'm doing boxed mashed potatos and boxed stuffing.  I say to hell with anyone who doesn't like it.  I'm the one slaving in the kitchen all day.  Hell, that's every day.  I didn't even bake this year. 

I'll be baking shortly though.  We have to keep up with "traditions".  I hate traditions!  Every year traditions go out the window except the ones I really don't feel like doing.  DJ is already working on me to start the cookies.  It's not even December yet.  Geez! 

He also told me he wants to bake a Christmas cake.  A tree.  And decorate it.  I just can't wait (insert heavy sarcasm here.)

I do have good news for the upcoming holidays.  Since I'm no longer talking to my mommy dearest, that's one less present I have to buy.  Since mommy dearest is fucking up our lives, Pops and I arent' exchanging presents either.  And PIC, well she just moved and bought a crapload of stuff she has to pay off.  We haven't talked about gift exchanging yet.

I'm buying each and every one of DJ's presents of Amazon.  Yep, that's right, no crazy crowds for me this year!  I already sent in my time for Dec and I'm off two days.  Wrapping days.  I'm all set.  This might just be the bestest Christmas ever:)

It's The Little Things

It's funny how I just posted about how with my son, it's all about the little things.  Today was such a good day.  Many of you who does not have a child with autism (I say this because most of the mothers of autistic children I know go through the same issues), might not understand where I'm coming from with this but I'm sure many of you can figure it out.  Let me give you a little history.  For the past few years, DJ has absolutely hated, and I mean hated, to get his hair washed.  I'm lucky if I can get it washed once a week.  Number one reason why it stays so damned short!

Anyway, tonight I sent him into the shower for his nightly cleansing.  Boy, do little boys need 10 showers a day or what?  Where does all this dirt come from?  He comes out and tells me he washed his hair!!!  With shampoo, no less!!!!  This is cause for celebration.  It smelled so yummy.  He hates water on his head.  I can't believe he did this!  I"m so excited!  Ok, STOP with the exclamation points.

For all you muggles out there (DJ has been rubbing off a little too much), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban came out today on video.  My butt was down at the local Blockbuster at 10am.  That's right folks.  It IS one of is Christmas presents but he's way too hyper.  No way he'd be able to wait a month.  He's been waiting the whole summer.  I know, poor kid:)

While I was there, I also rented Dawn of the Dead and Raising Helen.  I swear, there is absolutely nothing at the video store anymore.  Where's all the good movies at????  I started to rent all favorites that I don't own.  Geez!

Giving Thanks Week - My Son

Since Thanksgiving is upon us, I'm going to take a few minutes to reflect on what I'm thankful for.  First and foremost in my mind is my son, DJ.  Without him I might not be here.  Before I became pregnant with him, I was on an endless path to destruction.  When I found out I was pregnant all of that stopped. 

I still can't believe how lucky I am to have DJ in my life.  Don't get me wrong, my son is not a complete angel.  There are days I want to rip the hair right out of my head!  Parenting a child with Asperger's is a challenge and rewarding at the same time. 

DJ has taught me patience.  Patience with myself, with him, and the world around me.  He has taught to stop running for just a minute and see just how beautiful a flower really is.  Seeing the world through his eyes is an incredible experience.  He uses all the gifts he was given.  Whenever he looks at something, he needs to touch it as well as smell it.  He needs the full effect of everything that is around us. 

Little things excite him.  The mere mention of an Icee from the nearest 7-11 sends him jumping up and down.  "Can we, Mom?  Can we?"  He is thankful for everything and appreciates all that he is given (most of the time). 

Being the parent of a special needs child has made me realize the little things we can do each day is a huge accomplishment for DJ.  DJ was nonverbal for 4+ years.  Everytime he tells me loves me or that I'm bootiful, I remember the days when he would just look at me every time I spoke to him.  I am thankful.

Tragic Day

As you all know, none of my blog has been devoted to any religious aspect.  But to those of you who do read me, please, please say prayers to your God. 

A close friend of mine emailed me this morning.  Her brother is a druggie (hardcore).  He's divorced from his wife.  They have three kids together.  Evidently this morning, he went over to the ex-wife's house and wanted the children.  She wouldn't give them up because he was drugged up.  Instead he beat her up and took the children.  When she came to, she called the cops.  Unfortunately, the cops found all three children dead and their father had committed suicide. 

What a horrible, horrible situation.  So sad.  My friend is very very upset to say the least.  Today was supposed to be her wedding day and she is 1 month or so pregnant.  She's very very torn up about it. 

She was getting married away from home in another state.  Her fiancee had been calling all day to get a flight out so she could go be with her sister-in-law.  Her SIL blames herself, though what could she have done?  Her SIL took her own life around 9:00 tonight. 

Thank you all for your prayers.
