I'm having one of those particularly bad days. You know, the kind of bad day where you wake up ready to face the world, only to have to slap you in the face and laugh at you? Yeah, one of those kind of days. Then everything you do seems to be wrong. And nothing seems to go your way.
Yup.
At any rate, its also one of those bad days where you start to feel sorry for yourself, or sad for no particular reason. Maybe its because my kid is in the other room, repeating himself over and over and over and over again for no reason. And incessantly humming. And the other child has spent the entire day crying and whining over nothing in particular. Maybe everyone is just having a bad day, I guess!
Then you realize you have to change your routine, and want to smack yourself in the forehead because trying to get a kid with Autism to change his routine can be... not fun. See, with Lovely Husband's new job, came a new schedule. Which means that he is getting home later than we're used to. Which is fine - when there's no homework to be done. But, now there's homework, and the need to switch our nightly routine has come to a head. Any time after 6 PM is simply too late to get homework done, because it will inevitably end in tears and a tantrum.
So, now its No TV until we've done homework. But, he has to EAT before he'll do homework. So, now its after school snack, homework, and then TV time - then dinner after husband gets home.
So, I've spent the last few days in what can only be described as a war zone, in relation to the change in this routine. Yesterday went considerably better, and hopefully today will be even more so. But its hard to remain positive when you're being screamed and yelled at.
At any rate, this is more of a vent than anything else.
At some point, I'll start feeling better. At some point, it won't be so hard to deal with this change.
