I know it may seem like an easy question to answer but for a special needs parent, that's not always the case. The truth is that this is a loaded question not easily answered. Speaking from personal experience, most people can't really handle the truth. People ask me all the time how I'm doing.  Typically, if they're asking me in person, than they likely don't read my blog.  So I generally answer them with something that they will be comfortable hearing, like, "I'm going great, how about you?" What am I supposed to say? If I answer them truthfully, things become pretty awkward.  There are times that I've had a really bad day and someone asks me how I'm doing.  I've been known to be really honest and you should…

There have been a few questions about this whole challenge thing.  Let me clarify a few things.  This is not a water only diet.  I eat whatever I would normally I just only drink water.  This isn't some crazy diet.  It's about making small changes and improving ones health.  No more no less. That said, I'm on day three of driving only water.  I did another 64 oz of water today. This may seem easy and in a way it is.  However, there are still times that I really want something else to drink, especially with dinner.  There's not alot in my life right now that is within my control.  This is something that is and I'm proud of myself for sticking with it. Who knows, maybe by the time…

Emmett has sorta pulled out of his funk and even stepped outside of his Spiderman costume.  Right now he's lost in Marble World. Marble World is a construction set made of tracks and tubes. When built it allows marbles to race through it. This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

For whatever reason, Emmett decided that he was going to dress up as Spiderman today. Everywhere we went today, he was Spiderman.....and I mean everywhere. I'm of the opinion that I was lucky to be in the presence of Spiderman today.  Emmett was so cute and so happy being Spiderman today.  Who was I to take that away from him.  He wasn't hurting anyone, unless you were a bad guy at which point he trap you with his webshooters. Other than that, he wasn't hurting anyone.  :-) I look at it like this. Can it be weird walking into a store while Emmett was in his costume? Sure.  Do people stare at me like I'm crazy for letting him out of the house like that? Of course they did. However,…

I just finished up day 2 of the Thirty Day Water Challenge.  Today I drank about 64 oz of the clear stuff and stayed away from anything else.  The whole point is to drink only water for 30 days. So far so good.   This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.
