I spent the day with my girls. It was a lil rough, not gonna lie. I enjoyed their company but I was crazy hormonal with less patience than normal and they had to have sensed it cuz man oh man did it get really tense at some points. We got McDonald's and they got their Huntrix meals. Then we went to watch the Super Mario movie. It was pretty good. Ruby wasn't having it though so she began to complain halfway through she wanted to go home, but I wasn't going to make Christina suffer so I told her it wasn't fair to make Christina stop having a good time so we would tough it out.
We left and went home for a bit just in time to hide in the bathtub cuz the sirens went off. 🙄🤦 Once the storm passed we headed out to Twisty's Tricks & Treats where we saw my friend, who was making an appearance, Easter Bunny Ghostface. There was a special drink this evening that Ruby ordered. They have themed treats, decent prices and are super friendly. And man oh man the decor. I need to get my phone camera fixed cuz I couldn't get pictures. This place was right up my alley and I had a blast. They have merch too so I got to snag a couple pieces for myself. I also was gifted a Ghostface bath bomb which I'll probably keep for display only cuz it's very cool. If you are near Sterling Heights Mi, I highly recommend stopping by!!!
Then Dennis and I finished setting things up and hiding them for the girls. They got sensory spinning chairs this year and a bunch of other sensory toys and objects. And we each got a special egg with a dragon in it. Mine of course is the rainbow one.
All in all a pretty successful day. My kids are just so spoiled they don't get what goes into a day like that though and I know they are young so they don't get that it makes me feel like crap to go to all the effort and they can't make the extra effort and not show their asses in public or act up with attitude. Like I didn't just spend a fortune or want to have good feelings and memories with them, not be frustrated and feel like they are unappreciative, which I know they are not. It just doesn't connect for them yet and on some levels it probably won't ever. That is the nature of autism and sometimes it's just something unpleasant you have to adjust to yourself.
Ruby did take a nasty spill after being told not to mess around and to sit down at the table and she decided to be a smarty-pants and fell forward on her knees on the concrete floor. Extremely fast and unfortunate lesson. She also tried to slice her finger off with a vegetable peeler the other day. She knows she isn't allowed to touch it. But she grabbed it while Dennis was cooking and took it into her room like the sneaky lil s**t she is and tried to peel an apple. 🙄🤦😫
I really did enjoy spending time with them. I am excited to have them see their baskets.
Happy Easter!!!
