Can you afford to be sick? I know that sounds like a dumb question but I was hoping to make a point with it.  Special needs parenting is not to be undertaken by the faint of heart.  It takes tremendous sacrifice but the rewards can be endless. However, with all the constant demand on your attention and the extreme levels of stress, it's easy to get run down.  For me personally, that tends to be when I get sick.  It's like adding insult to injury but it happens.  With my wife Lizze, already down most of the time, it's really, really important that I keep moving forward.  Getting sick isn't something that I can afford to do. Having said that, it has once again happened.  Last night I felt like…

I want to take a minute and say, thank you to my amazing wife, Lizze.  I became ill early yesterday evening from mild food poisoning, at least that's my best guess. I'll spare you the details. Lizze, despite probably feeling good worse than I did, took care of me in my hour of need. It's about 4:30 am and I'm awake.  I can't seem to fall back asleep so I thought I would thank Lizze for taking care of me last night.  :-) I'm feeling a little bit better but not 100%, not even close.  I'm gonna try and finish sleeping this off.

We are one day outside of Lizzes migraine infusion and we are dealing with a few issues. She's physically and emotionally exhausted.  I'm not sure what's going on but emotionally, she's in a really bad place. I think everything is finally catching up to her.  Right now she's a walking panic attack.  I'm really hoping that things will settle down for her on the short side of quick.

What began as a sore throat yesterday, has turned ed into a stomach bug. Mr. Elliott Richard puked this morning, all over the side of his bed.  :-( Lizze has a couple appointments today so I'll be on my own for at least part of the day.  I'm really hoping to be able to get my tablet review up and get my next giveaway posted by the weekend.

I wanted to let everyone know that despite all the setbacks of late, there have been a few victories and big ones at that.  Our tax return came in very early, and I mean very early. As of yesterday, I was able to pull us out of foreclosure status on our mortgage.  We aren't completely caught up but it was huge progress and that takes away a bit of stress from the mix.  I was also able to get caught up on some very important bills as well.  There are still many left to be brought current but again, this is progress. There are many things that unfortunately, fell by the wayside because of massive expense we had with the mortgage and a few other unexpected things. We weren't able to…
