Mike being in his overly hyper, anxious, bug phobic, rigid way lately. Cait had a major my way or the highway complex going, and Dave is in distructo mode. She only made it twice.
Now it isn't official, but when I asked, "so when are you free next week" her answer was "I don't know when I will be a available again. The service may be giving me a family for Monday through Thursday. I won't know until next Tuesday so I will give you a call" Code for GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!! I have heard it before. In the past I have tried calling these sitters a few times and they are surprisingly always busy.
I am having a good laugh over it actually. It is a bummer, but when I am getting down on myself I think, "hey at least I can do it and don't run away". I am getting used to it. When I told hubby when she said she'd be back his reply was "lost another one eh"

Mike is here yelling "MOM WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT!!!!!"
I can just picture it. I have 2 other friends with 2 aspie/ASD kids each. When we get together life is WAY fun. hehe. Last weekend my friends 8th grade dd graduated and I watched her whole crew, plus 2 neices and had another friend over. THere were 2 aspie's, 3 ADHD kids, 2 NT's, 2 toddlers, and a bipolar kiddo here. My Friend (with one NT kid but knows me way well and is the mom of Cait's one friend) was just in amazment and couldn't stop saying what respect she had for us. Boy was my house a' rocking that day.
We could make quite the comune! Cait would love it. She could be around "normal" people in her eyes and ack just however she wanted.

I have only left Caitlin with family. But my upstairs neighbor has a sister in law who has four children, and one has Autism. And she has a 14 year old daughter who is wanting to start babysitting, and the sister in law left me her number, saying she would be perfect for my daughter.
I can't wait for things to settle down a little, and have a few extra dollars to pay a sitter and go out to dinner. Usually Caitlin is better for other people than she is for me. And if someone is willing to sit down and show her their attention, she will be an ANGEL.
Atleast, i HOPE!! LOL

Good luck with your new sitter.
