Wow what a week it’s been

Monday my daughters and I went out grocery shopping. One of the stops was to Michael’s where we both as a free $5 voucher. I used mine to buy my son black acrylic paint and my daughter bought cookies. Tuesday school was cancelled before it started snowing. It was a good call though for the kids safety. Wednesday my niece who is 7 was up all night unable to sleep so her mom didn’t make her go to school. My sister had to work so she asked if her daughter could come here. My little one and my niece had so much fun together and I enjoyed so much getting to spend time with my niece. I miss the days I used to babysit her daily. Today I found out that my nephews (from my first marriage) fiancé hit a man last night (who was walking) with her car. It wound up being her boyfriend’s brother’s father in law. Yikes I wonder if there will be any bad feelings between the two woman who will be sister in laws come September. Today the well pump quit working so after my husband was done with classes he had to go to for work he had to fix this. After two trips to stores it still isn’t fixed. He had to be so exhausted and irritated I felt bad for him. He is taking the day off tomorrow to go to the store again to get a new pressure tank and then hopefully all will be good. Thank god my parents live across the street for me to get 13 gallons of water off them after already buying 3 at the store. Today we had to run to the store. We stopped to see my daughter at the thrift store. My little one accidentally pulled on an unsecured shelf and it tipped over on us. Unfortunately it was candles and votives etc. They would not allow me to pay for them and I felt so bad. My little one was so embarrassed when it happened and was crying and hiding from the people who rushed to see if she was okay. I bought her some stickers and balloons and that made things better. You can see her sticker fun in the photo. Afterwards we went to the library to play for a bit and to pick out some books. I thought you might get a chuckle out of this. My son who has autism does this stimming behavior “Stereotypy”. He was listening to music he really liked and doing the shaking of his arms behind his back. My little one told him to stop dancing. He said he wasn’t and I told him what he was doing and he laughed and said he didn’t even realize he was doing it. He doesn’t like if I point it out so I have stopped since he said he can usually feel he does it and doesn’t do it in public anymore. I just worry about people being mean and picking on him.
