LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

I was just sitting on the floor in the dark in Pablo’s room. For some reason, that always seems to be the place I end up thinking really hard about things and even praying for guidance. I’m usually only sitting in there late at night for one reason – Pablo’s not sleeping and having a fit about something. When we put him down tonight, he was really upset about a toy or something – it doesn’t even matter what it is, he just can’t seem to calm himself down. He is doing a bazillion times better than he was a year ago or even a few months ago, but it’s still hard. I keep reminding myself that it’s not the autism here – it’s the fact that he’s a stubborn little 3-year-old boy! I know lots of people with kids the same age as mine, and it seems like we’re all in the same boat.

Anyway. I was just sitting on the floor in the dark, and thinking to myself, I hate my blog template. Weird thing to think about right at that moment, huh? It’s not that I dislike how it looks – I love all the pictures of Pablo, I love the ribbon LaDonna drew for me, I love the layout in general, but every time I look at my blog, it doesn’t look like it’s mine! These are colors I’d never ordinarily pick, and I guess I’m just being a big baby about it. I’m not going to get rid of it until the end of the month or anything, but, yeah. I’m being a big whiner here.

And I also was thinking, I hate my hair. I really, really, really hate my hair. I was looking forward to a whole new look SO much, and now that it’s all said and done, I keep coming across pictures of how I actually wanted it to look. I’m so annoyed that my stylist didn’t listen to me – that I didn’t communicate to her exactly what I wanted, apparently – and that I have the same hairstyle I had in 1997!! Booooo!

I know, I’m being a big fat whiner here. It’s okay. You can say so.

Okay, I’m thinking maybe it’s time for me to go to bed, before I stick my bottom lip out so far I trip over it.
