Lazy Sunday
So yesterday a friends son had a birthday party at Let's Jump. She invited Jacob and I had RSVP'd and said he was coming. Yesterday morning I had SO MUCH anxiety. I was so worried that we would go and he wouldn't play with the kids, or he would act in a way that would confirm my worries about autism. I almost canceled. But I knew I had to take him. Besides I had told him that we were going and he couldn't WAIT for cake lol. So I took him and he blended in JUST FINE. I had just worried way too much for nothing.
Then last night I went to dinner with my best friend and got to vent about all my craziness lately. I am SO thankful that I have a husband that doesn't mind when I decide to go somewhere at the drop of a hat. He's always so willing to watch the kids and let me get a little bit of sanity, even when he worked all day or has to work the next day.
During the night Alex had an anxiety attack. These happen few and far between, and I am pretty sure they occur from dreams because they always happen in the night. So I gave him his anxiety meds and hugged him until he calmed down. I was going to take the boys to my moms today because my husband works 13 hour days, which makes a long day just at home alone with the kiddos. But Alex is still feeling groggy from the meds last night (it was actually about 4 this morning), and he seems to just want to relax. So it's another long Sunday at home!
But that's ok. I'm feeling better and a little more optimistic. I REALLY need to go grocery shopping.

Try to take it as it comes
I know, easier said than done, but all this worry isn't good for you, or the kids. Their radar can pick up on our anxiety and make them anxious as well. It's good you are able to get out of the house, and I hope you really enjoy yourself when you do. I'm sorry you're having such a rough go of it. Take care of yourself.
