It was a little bit of a rough start to Owen’s morning. He woke up and I didn’t have my bunny ears on. This has become a thing. He wants them on immediately. I think that my head is becoming harder for him to handle and he is now focused on it growing out. He was ready to get back to school. I was not feeling that great throughout the night so I was in very slow motion and nothing was going right.

He wanted me to eat a banana, talk to his friend’s parents, and wanted to know if he could take his tablet to church on Sunday. My bunny ears were his biggest focus followed by me eating a banana. I didn’t feel like eating anything so I tried to explain to him I wasn’t feeling well but all he wanted was our routine. How do you ever explain nothing in life is routine?

When there is a two-hour delay it seems like I can never do bus math. They are supposed to start school at eight but the bus rarely gets here any earlier than that so two-hour bus math in my mind should have put them here at ten. I started looking on the app for his bus a little after nine but I couldn’t see it. I sent a couple of messages to the bus aide but I don’t think my phone was sending them and it’s on its last leg. To say the least, the bus had gotten there a lot earlier and we missed the bus. I took him but that was hard for him because he wanted to ride the bus.

Thankfully he got to ride the bus home. He immediately went through all of the things he stores in his brain. He has a photographic mind and never forgets a thing. He was happy that I was able to get sausage dogs and I figured he would ask for them for dinner. He wants to go to the depot, Bob Evans, Dairy Queen, and get a pizza after his therapy tomorrow. I told him we could do something if he was calm with his therapist. It is amazing to me that he is always talking about food places and that he actually will go now. This was so hard on him for years.

He was so happy because I agreed that his grandma would take him for a ride on Saturday. I can’t know for sure that she will but I went with what he said. Sometimes it is easier to agree than to cause the waves of emotions that it would have if I said I don’t know.

He was going through all the foods we now have. Then I realized that we were out of veggie straws because I had given him the last of them for his snack. He was all over that and wanted me to order them. I told him that I would get more soon. He then asked me if the mailman came. I asked him what the mailman was supposed to bring and he said his robot.

Let’s just say the day ended about as it began. He has come full circle and is back to having a fascination with the toilet. There was a mess everywhere and I’m not sure if he stuck something down it or not. Let the adventures begin.

He wanted all the leprechauns to focus on our church for Sunday. I pray for better days ahead with the weather. Tomorrow I go for my radiation evaluation appointment and we will keep moving forward. I pray Owen sleeps tonight and I wake up with a bright shiny attitude and nothing else breaks or clogs. Focus on the sunshine of tomorrow and let that bring your heart the light. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
