1 Dad + 2 Little Boys + 2 Large Dogs + 1 Squishy Couch = Worst nights sleep ever

July 13, 2012

Well,  this was the first of 4 nights that the boys and I are home alone.  Gavin and Lizze will be in the hospital until Monday. Trying to manage 2 boys with #Autism,  by myself,  is very challenging. I don't know how the single parents out there do this.

Usually,  when it's just me and the boys,  we camp out in the living room or the *squishy couch. *

The *squishy couch *is simply,  two couches pushed together in order to make one giant bed. The boys get a big kick out of it,  so it's become legendary in the *Lost and Tired *household.

The only issue is that the dogs don't like to be left out of the fun.  When the idea of the  *squishy couch *was first conceived,  I hadn't considered the addition of 2 large dogs.

We all eventually fell asleep and woke up around 6am to both dogs being sick.  That's right,  both friggin dogs are sick. I swear God hates me,  or he simply likes to push the button and watch me jump.

It's going to be a very long day because of the obvious but also because all the plans we had to make things a bit more manageable for this weekend,  went out the window when Gavin needed to be hospitalized. So I'm pretty much working without a net.

Once I talk to Lizze,  I'll update you all as to Gavin's current condition.

I also plan to *try* and get a Friday Forum post up sometime this morning. Thank you for your patience :-)
