Playing hide and seek

Emmett managed to drag me away from work again this morning. He just had to play hide and seek. After a little bit of prodding from Emmett, combined with my weak resolve, we were playing games video and go seek.  I have to admit that while I should have been working, it was fun to play with him.  :-) Can you find Emmett in the picture below?

Our fickle pickle

Emmett is a fickle pickle when it comes to eating.  His food has to be perfect or he won't even think about eating it.  However, he will rarely ever say no to pudding, especially chocolate pudding.  Do your kids have a favorite food? Is there something that you can fall back on when they refuse to eat anything else?

Operation Hope: Case Manager

I wanted to you all a line and let you know how Gavin's evaluation went today.  To sum it up in one word, awesome. The woman that did our evaluation was one of the nicest people I've ever met and one of the few people who seemed to really get it. Ya'll can probably relate to how amazing it feels when you meet someone that actually gets it. Gavin did awesome today as well.  He was really polite and patient throughout the lengthy interview.  I'm really proud of him and I made sure he knew it.  I guess we just need to wait for all the paperwork to go through.  We can go ahead and add this to the wind column.

I give up…. Murphy’s Law wins again

Today's been an unusually difficult day, even for a Monday.  Monday's are notoriously bad for me but today set a new standard.   It all began with my back going out again. Then,  the heating pad I was using to help my back, caught fire while I was using it. As if that wasn't bad enough, my goddamn phone stopped working tonight.  My Galaxy Note 2's screen stopped responding.  Later on it shut off and wouldn't turn back on.  Thankfully, Tmobile has ordered me a free replacement but it's on backorder.  Son of a bitch, I just can't win today.  Supposedly it will be here by the end of the week, so at least there's that. I will have to find a old Tmobile phone exchange to switch into utility then. …

My Sunbeam heating pad caught fire while I was using it

This morning, I was using our 2 year old Sunbeam therapeutic heating pad for my back. I had it set on a medium setting and I had it flat up against my lower back. I had my pillow behind me for lumbar support. Within a few minutes of turning the heating pad on, I began to smell what I thought was an electrical fire. The smell wasn't to bad at first and it went away but got worse after about 10 minutes of using the heating pad. We unplugged it just to be safe. I got up to go put the heating pad away so that it didn't get used again. Upon standing up, this is what I found. The heating pad appears to have caught fire or was at…

Elliott made it to school….eventually

After this mornings drama and Elliott's flat out refusal to comply with getting ready for school, Lizze was finally able to work here magic. She spent some time with him this morning and was able to talk him into getting ready.  It was my job to keep Emmett occupied while she did that.  I don't know why Elliott has been like this lately.  There's nothing going on at school that has him upset or afraid.  He's just being difficult, at least that's how it seems.  I'm sure it's not that simple.  I mean, nothing in our lives is simple. I will say that this is getting really old, really fast and I would like to figure out what, if anything is behind this.  Thankfully, after he decided to cooperate, he…

Cutest Pet Pics

I thought that I would lighten things up just a little bit today by sharing some Cute Pet Pics. In this picture we have Elliott's kitten Greysha, sleeping next to Emmett's dog Bella.  This is the first time this has happened, because they are still getting used to each other. I thought this was totally adorable and wanted to share.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

I remember why I hate Mondays

Elliott is refusing to go to school. I'm hanging out with Emmett while Lizze tries to get him to comply.  I offered to help him comply, but Lizze wanted to do this on her own.  This isn't a good start to the day...
