chili dog explosion

most of you out there know that mapboy has some interesting traits. well, one of his sensory anxiety issues is dealing with things not going exactly right. messes is one of those. on our stop at wall drug we had lunch. his issue with cheese ruled out the already made and sliced cardboard pizza, but chili dogs he was willing to try. he loves chili and not too fond of hot dogs, but with chili on them why not.





so we bought the chili dog and they were huge! in fact, hubby ate his with his fork and knife. but mapboy had a serious meltdown. and once he starts he keeps going and going. so here we are sitting in the restaurant. all of us eating. and mapboy talking about the mess and how he can't hold it all together. we showed him how hubby was eating but he wanted nothing to do with that. it was hot dog and you eat it in a bun with your hands. but it wasn't working so he was mess, physically and emotionally. we got a kick out of it. okay, i was a little bothered and frustrated, but still found it comical. hubby got the camera which only added to mapboy's great meltdown...but here he is!!! in all his chili dog glory!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
