Today started out ok but it went downhill with a vengeance.
We had a family friend who was baptizing his daughter so we decided to go. I don't know if it was the unfamiliar environment or what but John's behavior was HORRIBLE!!! I took him in the foyer for almost the whole meeting. A few minutes before it was over an older man came out and said, "SHHHH!, this is a baptism!" and then looked at me with a crusty look. Let me tell you, I just hate it when that happens. I told him I was sorry, John has autism. I'm sure that man had NO idea what that meant he probably thought I was just a horrible parent who couldn't control my child. Well, I held it together until the meeting was over and as we headed outside, I lost it. I started crying, and crying, and crying. We went to our friend's house and John was still out of control and I was still crying. After 10 minutes of crying and hiding in their living room, I told The Dad we needed to go. I cried on the way home (it was an hour drive) and I still cried after we got home. I have to say, this happens 3 or 4 times a year. Something involving John will happen and I just lose it and cry and cry and cry. It really is good to get it all out but somewhat embarrassing.
Tomorrow I imagine I will have puffy eyes, a really bad headache and a chapped nose from all the crying and blowing. Hey, at least it should hold me over for another 3 to 4 months.

I'm sorry, I can't even imagine how that must feel. I know the crying part, in fact just last night was my part, but I can't imagine the things you must go through. You guys are doing a great job as parents though and don't let anyone tell you different.
