Freak Parade

As I reminded The Boy about his psychologist-schmychologist appointment, and The Girl that tomorrow was indeed, movie night….I realized, “holy crap, it’s already Friday”.

Because I do. Really.
The Husband and I used up 3 precious babysitting hours to attend an Asperger’s/High Functioning Autism support group. I made plans for us to go while in the throes of a particularly rough week with The Boy. I thought, “A support group? Sign me up, because I’m all about being y’know…. supported.”

I have been talking so much about The Boy lately, that I thought a post about The Girl was overdue. Yesterday, I did something to The Girl that has made The Husband cry. I took her innocent beauty and left it only a glimpse of what it used to be. Yep. Take a Look.
