I stayed sick for quite a while. I'm still not over my cough and runny nose, but I am so much better than what I was. I missed my birthday because I was so miserable. So I'm hoping that we'll be able to go out to dinner this upcoming weekend to make up for it.
Nick cleaned and rearranged the living room yesterday. I told him that maybe that would keep me motivated enough to keep it picked up and vacuumed. He said he hoped so. I think he's tired of living in a "lived in" house. I'm tired of not being able to keep up with a hurricane for a three-year old. Each day just seems to be getting harder. His meltdowns are becoming more extreme, to the point where I'm afraid he's really going to hurt himself, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do when he has them. Yesterday he was throwing himself around in the parking lot. It took both Tea and me to get him wrangled into the car. I broke two nails getting him buckled into his car seat. I've never had to fight him that hard. He screamed so hard all the way home that he screamed himself to sleep. Today I got all the paperwork sent into the U of M for his autism evaluation. I got the referral form dropped off to his pediatrician to be faxed in tomorrow. Hopefully they'll get everything by the end of the week and an appointment can be made soon. It's supposed to be anywhere up to six months for an appointment once they receive the paperwork, unless you're flexible and can drop whatever you're doing and come in at somebody else's cancellation, which I can.
Life is going by so quickly right now. Matthew's birthday is coming up soon. I think we're going to wait to celebrate it until Thanksgiving. All of our weekends are taken up otherwise. But I don't think celebrating at Thanksgiving is such a great idea, either. Maybe we just won't have a party this year. I don't know. Things are coming at me too fast.
Feel better soon
