Some of u know that I have a daughter on the spectrum. Every morning after the last school bus runs, I take her for a walk to get her calm & able to sit still. This morning, my tummy felt funky but I didn’t want to deal with her meltdown over not having her walk so I drove to the playground/pool in my neighborhood to access the walking trail quicker. When we finished the walk, she darts over to the playground area, and any time I tried to get near her, she’d dodge me go a different direction refusing to make eye contact. I tried to let her play for a bit, but my stomach let me know it was time to go NOW. So, I hid behind a tree while she was going down a spiral slide. As soon as I saw her feet, I run out & grab her. She’s screaming NOOO, kicking like crazy, arms flailing & I dump her in the car. I get home & run in the house because I really have to go & my bathroom’s upstairs. As I’m finishing up, someone’s ringing my doorbell like crazy & beating on my door. I don’t have my phone to yell at them through my doorbell camera, so I go down & it’s the police….like 3 cars! They were notified of a kidnapping & were coming to get my ass! It got super awkward because of all the Halloween candy & treats I had out for my oldest daughter’s after school program. My husband was pulling up as I was explaining the whole situation & couldn’t stop laughing at my agitation. Anyway, happy freaking Monday to me-hope everyone’s is going better than mine.
