Sunday Thankfulness…Because Thursday Was Part of the Week That Shall Not Be Named

Asperger's, autism, autumn activities, boy-specific issues, family, life skills, soccer, sports, thankfulness, writing Sunday is the new Thursday this week

I am most thankful today because last week ended and it truly stunk.  As any mature adult named Andrea would do, I have blacked it off of the calendar and will just pretend it never existed.

I am thankful that Gus’s soccer game got cancelled yesterday.  It was a shame, because it was the last game of the season, but if I had to spend an hour and a half in the pouring rain, I think I would have had to be institutionalized, especially after the week that shall not be named.

I am thankful that Gus, with all his issues, acts like a typical big brother toward MM.  This includes getting thoroughly sick of her and doing everything in his power to escape her while she insistently follows behind him, rattling on, non-stop.  They’ve been fighting on and off all weekend, and he finally thought he was getting a break by going out with his Dad, until he found out that his sister was actually ready and we were coming too.  Oh, the horror!  The girls are coming!  It’ll be good practice for him when instead of having to escape a whining sister, he’s trying to get away from a nagging wife.  We can hope.

Hope you had a great weekend, and if you’ve got something to be thankful for, by all means, please share!

P.S. I’ll be extra thankful when November is over. My Nano wordcount is 28,541. A little more than halfway there.
