BEST LAID PLANS

TODAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DAY THAT I TOOK DAKOTA TO HIS FIRST "SERVICE" MY INCLE HAD PASSED AWAY QUITE SOME TIME AGO BUT HE WAS GOING TO BE INTERRED AT THE NATIONAL CEMETARY AND HE ACTUALLY SEEMED INTERESTED IN THE WHOLE PROCESS .

I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT IF THEY ARE  OLD ENUF TO ASK THE QUESTION THEN THEY ARE READY FOR THE ANSWER

SO I MARKED IT ON THE CALANDER AND STARTED THE PROCESS OF TALKING ABOUT GOING . WE ALSO DISCUSSED IT WITH THE TEACHER AND AIDE  TO PREPARE DAKOTA FOR A  NEW EXPERIENCE--

THE DAY COMES AND HE SLEEPS IN JUST ABOUT THE TIME I  WAKE HIM  I REALIZE HE IS ALREADY AWAKE AND COMES OUT TO TELL ME THAT HE WANTS TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!! I WAS  SHOCKED AND OF COURSE SHOOK UP CUZ  ALL OF A SUDDEN  MY WHOLE DAY MY WHOLE PLAN WENT UP IN SMOKE.

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF  "LIVING WITH AUTISM" SHIFT GEARS AND GET ON WITH IT!  SO I HAD TO HUSSLE AND GET HIM OFF TO SCHOOL WHICH LEFT ME ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR TO GET READY FOR THE SERVICE  IN A NUT SHELL IT DROVE ME CRAZY  I GOT A LITTLE HUFFED UP BUT ONCE I TOOK A DEEP  BREATH  AND REALIZEDTHAT THERE  WAS SO MUCH MORE TO BE THANKFUL FOR   IT GAVE ME A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND ONCE AGIN TAUGHT ME THAT EVEN THE BEST LAID PLANS CAN GO DOWN  WHEN YOU LIVE WITH AUTISM---

ITS JUST A PART OF LIFE
