Autism Speaks

I have lost track of days ever since I stopped working. I am constantly asking what day and date it is. It's going to all change now. I start back at my old job next week part-time. Yay!? I really don't want to go back to work, but I need $$$. I'm glad it's part-time. 3x a week. I can handle that. And I love the boy who I'll be tutoring. He has autism. He is the most mainstream, advanced, autistic boy I know of. I won't get into it because I'll get emos, but I'm glad to be seeing him again. There are sooo many perks to this job, but my boss is not one of them. Rich haole. That says it all. I'm sure I'll have lots to vent about next week. Just a warning.

Anyway, LJ's rash went away! I found the best diaper rash cream E.V.E.R.. Triple Paste! That stuff is the best shit. It goes on easily and it doesn't sting her okole like Balmex did. The same company also makes a cream for dry skin/eczema. LJ has both so I tried that stuff out and it works great for her as well. It calmed her dry skin/eczema on her chest and back. And it isn't greasy. Best believe I'll be stocking up on those products.

TLH has a session this afternoon. Sooo glad. She has been sassy all week. It seems like the more slack I give her, the more she takes advantage of it and does whatever she wants and talks to me however she wants. Bad news, chickie. 3 days of restriction. No video games, no cellie, no iPod. My restrictions consist of taking away things that she loves. I went down the line. First I told her no video games. She said fine. Like she didn't care. So I added her cellie and she still didn't care. Then I added her iPod and that did it. She yelled "NOOO, mama!" and started crying. That's when I knew she would behave. I was right. She straightened up right after that. That girl loves her iPod. I just added new songs to it before she had it taken away. I'm sure that's why she wanted it so bad. No Justin Bieber or Katy Perry for her. She'll wise up one day and learn to not be so sassy to me.
