Finding something positive in every single day

Let me first say that not everyone can find something positive each day.  The truth is, sometimes there isn't a positive.  Trust me, I'm all too familiar with that.  Please don't feel bad if you have one of those days, weeks or years. ................ With everything going on with Lizze's aunt, today has been really bad.  Having said that, I really try to find something positive,  every single day of my life. Despite everything that was going on today, I can easily point out a pretty big positive thing. I had to give Emmett a bath tonight.  Much of the time, bath time goes well until it come times to wash his hair.  Neither Emmett nor Elliott can cope with water on their face or in their ears. However, tonight…

Grief

As I write this my beloved Auntie Paula is dying of lung cancer. Stupid, freaking, destructive cancer. I hate it. I hate that I'm not with her more. It's not my place to be with her. My uncle is there. My cousins, her daughters, are there. And her grand-daughters are there. My Grammy Lou Who (I only call her that here on the blog, I don't know why.) is there with my partner in crime, my Auntie Sharon. My Auntie Paula doesn't need me there. Yet, I feel as if I should be there. I feel like I'm moving through molasses. Every breath is too thick and it hurts. My brain feels fuzzy and hazy, like I'm drunk and stoned. Only I'm stone cold sober. Moving just feels... awkward. I can't…

Better Medication Management

Lizze's Mom came by yesterday so that we could refill Gavin's medications.  I realize it's a pain in the ass to do it this way but I'm very grateful they are willing to work with us.  This let's us remain responsible for his medications and allows us to control things a bit tighter. Lizze's parents have enough on their plate right now. By doing things this way, all they have to do is flip open the lid for his morning meds and do the same at night.  We will refill every Saturday or Sunday...... Week one has been a resounding success. I hope that this trend continues.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

The highlight of my day

Elliott and I spent some time together playing Minecraft on the XBOX.  Elliott and I have been playing in survival mode and having an absolute blast.  I don't spend enough one on one time with Elliott and this is one of the ways we are squeezing in some extra time.
