I'm headed up north today with my sister to take my mom out to lunch. I also have to stop and drop off presents for the in-laws. I'm hoping that goes okay, because SIL says that MIL is kind of a bear right now. I'm hoping that when MIL sees Matthew, she'll soften and just be nice. I'm looking forward to time with my mom, anyway, and hopefully it'll be a smooth trip up there. We're taking the truck because they're forecasting snow, and that way I have 4-wheel drive. I've become a wimp without it. Too used to flat driving, I guess.
What will hopefully be the last of Matthew's autism testing is less than a month and a half away. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if it's not the last of it. I'm not sure how many more specialists I can stand taking him to. I think I might just have to say "enough" and go without a diagnosis, just going on the diagnosis that we already have to get him help through insurance. The specialists so far think he's high-functioning autistic. The only reason we keep pushing it this far is because Nick doesn't want an autism diagnosis unless they're absolutely positive. When is enough, enough?
Christmas is looming upon us. I'm almost ready. There are a few more gifts to wrap. Matthew's Lego table got all dusty when the guys were putting the door in to the attic, so that has to be air blasted off. I'm just going to put that in the living room with a bow on it. I want to get one of those gigantic bows for it. I already have a bow for the Matthew-sized trampoline, which Tea will actually be able to use as well. I don't think I'm going to wrap Nick's gift, just put a bow and tag on it, then have Bryan carry it downstairs. It's heavy - think 30 pounds. Other than that I think I have some Lego and a movie to wrap for Matthew, but I think all the other gifts are done. I wasn't going to do stocking stuffers this year, but Tea told me it would break her heart if we broke that tradition. So I guess we'll continue with the tradition of stockings and stocking stuffers. Maybe I'll surprise everyone with new stockings with their initials on them...we'll see.
