<\/p>\n

We had fun at Mom’s hiding eggs and finding them. She got with the “warmer… warmer… cooler…” method of finding them fairly quickly. Also, apparently two-colored eggs are an abomination of nature. Eggs should only be dyed a single color. The gospel according to Emily.<\/p>\n

Last night my husband made meatloaf and macaroni and cheese, and I steamed some asparagus. I wanted to bring some to my dad, but it was way too late by the time everything was ready. So I told him I’d bring some tonight. At about 7:40, I did a couple of dishes to get ready to make roasted red potatoes and asparagus<\/a> to be a nice side dish for the meatloaf I was going to bring my father. (If you make this, all the spices that say 4 teaspoons should probably be 1\/4 teaspoons.) Before I started to peel the potatoes, my husband came in and said that he forgot to tell me, he had told his buddy he was going to coffee with him tonight.<\/p>\n

D’oh! So we had a quick change of plans, now Emily and I would be going over to Dad’s ASAP since it was already past her bedtime. I started to steam some asparagus, and while I prepped that, Emily said from the den that she wanted to crack an egg. Hardboiled Easter eggs, that is. I said she was NOT allowed to crack the eggs. So I get the asparagus going, pack up some Tupperware, and go into the den to tell her to get her socks and shoes.<\/p>\n

AND SHE’S PEELING AN EGG ON THE RECLINER. WTF?? This child is usually so obedient! And she hates boiled eggs! I have no idea what got into her today. I made her to go her room until the timer went off. (Note, you only steam asparagus for about 3-4 minutes, so this wasn’t exactly onerous.) Going to her room wasn’t the bad part of the punishment. Me telling her that I was upset was. This is a child who, in spite of her autism, is really sensitive to the feelings of others – when she realizes they’re actually having those feelings.<\/p>\n

We went over to my father’s, and she was full of “I love you!” for him. Unfortunately, she speaks super-softly. He didn’t quite hear some, and I could barely make it out. I think the rest was, “I love you, Grandpa! Now please save me from the crazy lady!” Anyway, Grandpa the soft touch had a copy of Happy Feet for her, which we’ll open tomorrow since it was too late to do it tonight.<\/p>\n

She got to bed at 8:54. She’ll be up by 6am at the latest. I should probably turn in now myself. Let’s hope that tomorrow she doesn’t ramp up the insanity and join a motorcycle gang or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
