Our Fun & Exciting Monday..

Monday was a hard day for William. He woke up cranky and I had yet another struggle over getting the boy dressed. If it was up to him.. He would gladly go naked. Once we got dressed we started making our way to school. We always drive the same route to his school. We pass by the same store that I sometimes stop and get William his favorite suckers at. This morning while on the way to school..William saw the store and says.. " A Sucker.. I ready "..He has said things like that before but.. I just realize now that he knows that he gets suckers from that store.. Now everything is making more and more since.. When we have driven past the Bank he knows those tellers give out suckers. He has asked for a sucker while we are driving past the bank.. He has also thrown a fit when we pass a McDonalds and he doesn't get his Daily need of Those famous Chicken Nuggets .. He can spot those arches a Mile away.. It's amazing how much of a memory he has. ( Opps Side tracked.. Back to our subject..)
Once we got to school William didn't want to get out the car. I had to pick him up and carry him into the school. I felt like we had 1,000 eyes on us as we made our way to his classroom. Yeah you guessed it..He screamed and cried the whole way too. I felt so helpless. Then if that wasn't bad enough I had to leave him kicking and screaming. I left and didn't even get 2 miles down the hwy before I called the school to check on him & see if I needed to go back to get him. His teacher said he was fine and she was rockin him. I felt 110% better. So I went on and did my errands for the day.Time flew by so quick and before I realized it , It was almost time to go pick him up.I flew down the hwy towards his school. I pasted the school bus that picks up and drops off the PSI children so..I started to panick... I pulled up to the school and I didn't see any of the other parents cars in the parking lot so. I was thinking to myself. I'm so late. What if the teachers accidentally put William on the bus.. Where is the bus going?.. Who has my child?.. I signed into the front office and didn't even ask any questions..I went right to his classroom.. & Yeah..It was empty, the lights were off and no one in sight.. I went right back to the office to inquire w/ the receptionist. She asked me to see if they were still in the lunchroom..Before she even finished the word lunchroom I was half way down the hallway. I walked right into the lunchroom and ....There was William.. Sitting with his class eating there snack. I over reacted for nothing. They were just running late & So was I.

Don't worry. Having a child with special needs can do that to you. I used to panic and freak out over the least thing, too. I've calmed down quite a bit.
