I’m pretty sure the boys will be going to Lizze’s parents today. There hasn’t been any confirmation yet, but we’ll make do either way.

If the boys end up going, Lizze and I will get some time to ourselves.

We’ve been under a great deal of stress this week. There’s no one thing that’s really weighing on us. It’s more like a combination of things. The point is, all this stress has introduced some tension into the mix and that’s not something either one of us want.

Getting a break would mean that we can have some time, outside of all this Autism and Special Needs parenting stress.

These breaks, are good for us, both as individuals, and as a couple.

As I always like to stress, not everyone is lucky enough to get a break. The fact that we do, even if it’s not always on a regular basis, is a true blessing. We have never, and will never take these breaks for granted.
