It's cold and it's snowing.  It's been snowing off and on since Christmas Eve. You can see how the snow has piled up.  Jack had a good Christmas, Katie and I did not.

Katie became overstimulated and overwhelmed in West Edmonton Mall.  When I took her out to the parking lot to drive her home, I got her in the car and she attacked me.  She hasn't done that in years.  She pulled my hair (with her death grip), tried to bite me, and was head butting me as I tried to get her hands out of my hair.  She was screaming and crying and continued to attack me, pinching and hitting.

I called my husband who drove back to the mall so that we could take her home together, him driving, me wrestling with her in the back seat as she screamed.  I had to hold her away from me, at arm's length to avoid being pinched and hit.  It was a long drive back to her place.

Then hubby drove back to West Edmonton Mall so that I could pick up my vehicle, drop off her wheelchair and drive home.  There was no Christmas dinner.  We had Indian food (butter chicken and tandoori chicken), and I had a glass of wine.  I may have cried.

Despite Katie's meltdown, we had a good Christmas and I made our turkey meal last night.  We also have a few days to ourselves as Jack is with his other grandma.

My hubby bought me a pottery wheel and I've been practicing.  So far, I can't even center the clay but I am practicing.
