4th of July is hard for her
4th of July has always been a hard day for our daughter. She has sensory processing issues. The fireworks going off all day just overloaded her. Last year she did ok. She wore ear muffs that block the sound and it helped a lot.
June was a lot. We took a huge family trip and we moved. She struggles with changes but she did so well. But I could see her wearing down. So when she came to us and said she needed a break I wasn't surprised. Honestly I think I need one too. My OCD is extra right now and I'm having a lot of tics and outbursts. I've been holding them in way too much as well.
So Joel and the boys will go to Grandma's and Sissy and I will relax here. We'll sit by the fireplace and watch movies. We make s'mores indoors. Than we'll watch fireworks on YouTube muted.
She asked me for one of her anxiety pills today. She hasn't asked for one in months. She didn't even take one on our vacation.
So today will be a lazy day for both of us
