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. This was the highlight of my day....... This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Please make this easier for me

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm not forgetting to announce the winners of my giveaways. As soon as the contest ends, I email the winner.  Sometimes, I don't hear back within the 24 hours and I have to pick a new winner and try again.  Once I actually get a response, I will them announce the name publicly. It's easier that way... As a reminder, please, please, please check your email.  Please make sure you provide an active email address and if you live in the middle east or any other country outside of the US and Canada, you can't win.  I'm sorry but those are the rules. .

We found a better place

I wanted to let you all know that our trip to the movies was widely successful.  We saw The Croods and the boys loved it.  In fact, they loved it so much that they actually sat through the entire movie and even part of the credits. It wouldn't seem like a movie would help to decompress the boys but it does seem to help. They are both in a better mood having come out of that hour and a half in a much better place. Hopefully, this  can carry us through the rest of the weekend. Have you ever had to throw caution to the do something out of desperation, in order to help your kids find a better day?

Out of sheer desperation

In a move based out of sheer desperation, we are taking the boys to a movie.  I think we are seeing The Groods. The boys have been at each others throats all day and I just can't take it anymore. It's way to cold outside to go to the playground and I think they will enjoy getting out of the house.  They love the movie theater even though we don't get to go that often.  In truth, I'm desperate and I just need to make the screaming and fighting stop, even if it's only for 90 minutes. Anyone else ever feel like this? This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.
