Today I Became Mother of the Year



sacrifice [sak-ruh-fahys] noun, verb, -ficed, -ficing. Catching your child’s poop when the Comprehensive Stool Analysis’s Ziploc bag won’t open.

I earned a crown for Heaven today. It's day three of Hayden’s stool test. That means it's ready to ship off. I HAVE to get it shipped tomorrow so the results will be back in time for my phone consult with his doctor. I was attempting to check my email today when I heard my son yelling something about wiping his tail. I ran down the stairs (yes, apparently pregnant women can ‘get it’, too). Hayden was already perched on the toilet, desperately trying to hold it. He knew he was supposed to poop in the French fry looking container that Doctor’s Data sent me. I hurried as much as I could, but the bag that contained the French fry holder wouldn’t open. In a desperate attempt to save the stool from the toilet water (this would render it useless), I did what any Autism Warrior would do. I caught that shit with my bare hands.

God bless us, Autism Warriors.
