Even though I'm not the real author of this blog, I have permission from her to post a guest appearance. Hell if she said no i couldn't, I would just quit making her dinner and having her glass of wine ready for her. Anyone that knows me knows that is a big fat lie! I guess I could threaten. It has been a long layoff for this blog but I'm pretty sure Vicki is going to be at the helm again soon. In the meantime you can read my bullshit and get the true skinny!
Samantha, our autistic one, is still autistic and keeping us on our toes constantly. Not only us but anyone that watches her. For instance, my sister babysat for us last weekend. Sam had been in our bedroom while Cheryl was reading on the couch in the living room. After about 5 minutes Cheryl went to check on Sam in fear of something being wrong. Something was wrong alright! The bedroom window was wide open and no Sam in the room. In a panic and being pissed that she lost her, Cheryl jumped in her car to go look for Sam. See Sam has crawled out our window before and tried or succeeded in escaping. So you can feel Cheryl's panic. By the time Cheryl got to the end of the road she calmed and took a minute to reflect on the whole situation. Maybe she should check the whole property before driving around the neighborhood to no avail. So she turned around to look for Sam hiding somewhere on our acre. Walking back into the bedroom Cheryl still didn't see Sam but for some reason looked out the opened window and low and behold there she was. Big grin on her face and twirling around in our hottub. One of those shit-eating grins that lets you know that she knows you were in a panic. Don't tell me that Sam isn't aware of what is going on. So many people think that autistic people don't understand the everyday way of life but if you were to ask Sam what she thinks, I'm sure you would get a complete answer in her own words.
So if you would like Vicki to start blogging sooner rather than later again, send a message and with a little encouragement I'm sure she will oblige us with her witty intuition.
