Life as a nanny with two older kids with autism is hard all in itself. But take into consideration this, I am married have been for three years been with this guy since high school, we are going through a rough patch if that is what you want to call it. I have my best friend, who is a guy living with us and has been for almost two years, he is my rock at this point, like a big brother, then his brother who just got out of jail is back in every one's life. J is my friend and I am trying like hell to keep him outta trouble. NG is my husband, and A is my best friend.
So even though I have so much to update about the kids this post is about me. Yesterday J, me and J's gf went to my dad's house to get some punching bags he had promised me forever ago, Dad used to teach karate and I used to take class. We wanted the punching bags to goof and use to get into shape. Yesterday was the best day I have had in a LONG time. Being on Dad's land brought back so many great memories. It was a pretty day and I bet I walked from the barn to the house 150 times. We goofed off, got attacked by wasps, and didn't find the tops to the punching bags, but that really didn't matter because we had FUN!!
We decided that nobody wanted to get back to real life so we went to Hobby Lobby and Halloween express and ate. We played punch bugs and laughed a lot. Not only did I get a break from my life and husband drama. I got to be with someone I care about like a brother and talked with him and his gf all day. It was a great day.
I'm glad you were able to have a good day, and get away from all the stress. Getting time away is so important!
