Wind it up!

I sincerely wish that I could just wind myself up every morning. Like a mechanical toy - when you need it to come to life, just crank it a few times and watch it wobble about.

I NEED that. I've been sleeping like crap.

Yesterday Kenny had a job interview and Dylan had another ECI appointment. Kenny left and then came back a short time after. You know my heart was pounding as I saw him approach the door. I eagerly opened it with a "Well?"

He said the guy wasn't even there, yet! He was told to come back in a few hours. Blah!

So the ECI specialist and OT show up, and we decide on what we'd like to work on with Dylan. I chose communication to start, because sometimes that's the root of all evils. You improve that, and you improve a little bit of everything else. It was suggested I get him to the Meyer Testing Center in Houston. This is the place where I can get a OFFICIAL diagnosis of autism. Yet, the wait is 6mos to a year.

Or, I could take him to his ped and see what the ped would like to do.

During the visit Kenny left again, only to come back once more with the guy still not being there! So he took a day off and spent gas, yuck. The guy called later that day and interviewed him over the phone. He offered the job to Kenny, but said he'd back to him on a pay rate b/c of Kenny's skills.

ITT has a position up that Kenny did before he left, so I submit his resume to it and Dad will call Kenny's old boss on Wednesday to tell them to pull it. Hopefully that'll be our answer.

Last night, Kenny lit candles, had some music playing, and gave me a nice backrub among other things. :)

In the middle of the night our power was flickering only in our bedroom. Now two outlets don't work. One of those outlets happen to be our a/c! This house is so... I hate it, that's all.
