The Week
Boy, ain't this the truth. It's been a week of up and down. We've been invited to a family event this weekend and it was pretty much said that Sal wasn't welcome. I have to admit - it stings. Since I've had time to deal with this - I'm a little less "hot" than I was when the info first came down the pipe.
Bill says we're taking her any way. The thing is - we have NO sitter for her. Let me tell you the last time we had a weekend or even a night away from her: When I went to the hospital and had Jack. :-)
The way *I* feel about it : Sal is a very special spirit. You are *privileged* to be part of her life. Soooo - when you're a butt-munch you don't get the privilege of being in her life - period. Not when it's convenient for you - not when there's no one around - never. But I've been out-voted. At least in this case.
I broke down the other night and really BAWLED. I think it wasn't only this situation but just the climax of a really weird week. Sal had several really good days at school and then of course brought the whole thing down with a really NASTY day. Ugghh. It's just tiring - the whole up and down - so low and then so high.
Jack is going to a sib shop tomorrow. It's where kids get together to talk and do stuff and the one thing they have in common: they're all siblings of Special Needs kids.
We also met Sal's teachers for next year. They had Best Buddies fundraiser night at Culvers and we went - Sal will be getting a Best Buddy next year - and Jim (the owner of Culvers) introduced us to the teachers. They had heard of Sal. :-) It's always amazing to me how total strangers are so much more involved in her life than family. I think that's what kind of brought me "up".
So, we'll see how things go. I'm looking forward to Monday and the end of this weekend. :-)
