It never fails.  I'll be out and about, when I run into someone and the topic of Autism comes up.  Sometimes, they will see my Lost and Tired, Autism Awareness shirt and it sparks a conversation. When the topic of my blog comes up, they almost always ask if I have a business card, to which I reply, "no". My question to you all is this.  Should I, as a blogger, have business cards made up? I suppose it would make sense to do that, I just have never had any made. What do you folks think?

Improving the lives of others. Even if others is a Russian Tortoise. The boys spent some time decorating the turtle table today. They went out and picked tons of dandelions and added them to the enclosure.  Thankfully, they have an endless supply in our yard. I think it's great that they are trying to improve the turtles environment. They did a great job and the turtle loves dandelions.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Gavin's teachers are taking note of things that happen while he's at school.  They aren't doing this every day and I need to ask about that because it needs to be done every day.  Anyway, this is a snapshot of what went on Wednesday morning.  Gavin's issues tend to revolve around frustration, sleepiness, chest pain or stomach cramps.  It's tough to know what's real and what's manipulation to get out of doing something.  However, I think in general, the health related issues are legit and that's concerning because in a given day, he's sleeping, experiencing chest pain or his stomach hurts.  Dammit.. I wish I knew what to do.... This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos…

Elliott spent some downtime today with his kitten Gresha...  They just snuggled on the couch and watched Netflix. It was nice to see him relaxed and enjoying himself.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Lizze is now officially out of commission and I'm still sick and on my own. :-( Lizze is in a really bad place.  This is more like a nervous breakdown and one that's been coming on for awhile.  With her hormones completely out of whack, who the hell knows what's going on.  All I know is that my heart is breaking for her and there isn't anything that I can do right now, especially while I'm sick. :-( We have to try and compartmentalize as much as possible so that the boys don't destabilize.  With that in mind, I offered the let Lizze go to bed and I would just take care of everything.  Looks like pizza for dinner is all I'm going to have the energy to do.  The…

We never made it to Lizze's appointment this morning.  I'm a bit upset about that because I feel like providing her with immediate relief is essential. She's in control of her health care and if she still wants to reschedule, than we reschedule.  Truth is, I'm not in a position to really make the trip. Even if I tried, I would most certainly pay for it later. I appreciate Lizze not wanting me to do that.  :-) The other side of the coin is that our financial resources are extremely limited right now.  We literally need to pick and choose the trips we make.  Right now, the priority has to be the whole menopause thing.  In all honesty, Lizze is a hormonal mess and getting worse.  She's absolutely miserable and…

It seems like every time I walk out of the room, Emmett John disappears.  When I walked upstairs to wake Lizze up so I could go he get Elliott from school, Emmett was sitting right there on the couch. When I came back downstairs a few minutes later, he was nowhere to be found.  ;-) All I found was this really lumpy blanket and a strange giggling coming from it.  :-) I'm a huge believer in letting kids be kids as much as possible.  There will be plenty of time for them to be grownup and serious down the road.  This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Elliott got off to school this morning without a hitch. He got up, got dressed and even took his meds without giving us a hard time.  When I dropped him off at school, he even held the door open for the people behind him.. I'm so proud of my little gentleman.... :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.
