Hey guys. Most of yall know my four year old, Dillon, is autistic. Guess what? We just got back from the grocery store. There were hardly any people in there so we let Dillon walk around with us. He usually has to ride in a buggy because he wants to run off and then starts having a tantrum/meltdown when we try to get him to stay with us. He was so good this time!! I don't know if it was the fact that there was nobody in the store or because he is just getting better. Went to a yard sale today and he didn't offer to run off then either. I am so pumped up about this!! Just wanted to let yall know so yuns could share in my joy!!

Smooches,
Chelle

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
