My boys are multitalented and I love them very much. Having said that, they seem to excel in one particular area. They can go from a clean room to a complete disaster area in no time flat. Every night before bedtime, their room gets picked up and shortly after waking up in the morning, this is what I find. :'(
As a way of spreading #Autism Awareness, I thought it would be neat to share some of the things we love most about our kids on the #autism spectrum. I feel that we need to approach awareness in a different way. A less clinical and more personal way. To do this, I thought we could start out by simply sharing what we love most about our kids. It could be anything. Let's begin by focusing on a few positives and then we can move into others down the road. :-) I'm very happy to go first. One of the things I love most about my kids with #Autism is their ability to show compassion. They don't always understand the how's and why's but they can feel when something is wrong…
Good morning everyone. I hope your Sunday is a pleasant one. So far, Sunday has been pretty good to us. The boys are getting along, for the most part. Lizze is suffering a great deal this morning though. I'm going to try and keep this a very low key kinda day. Hopefully, I can get some writing and housework done this afternoon. That's the goal anyway. This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

Until further notice, Lost and Tired will be discontinuing use of the LiveFyre commenting system and reverting back to Intensedebate. The issue is affecting a large portion of my readers, especially those using iOS devices like, the iPad and iPhone. Part of the issue has to do with CloudFlare incompatibilities with LiveFyre. While these are being worked on it's making commenting on this site impossible for some. I have to continue using CloudFlare because of the volume of traffic and subsequent load on the server. Thank you all for helping me work through this. If someone could test the new commenting system from an iOS device I would appreciate it. Please let me know if you have anymore problems.

I posted something on Lizze's blog earlier about this and I wanted to say something here as well. I'm asking that you please keep Lizze in your thoughts and prayers. She's not doing well emotionally or physically. To be completely honest, I've never seen her this bad. Her pain is absolutely out of control and there is nothing we can do. I left a message for the Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program and I'm waiting to hear back. At the moment, the program is open to her however, we are still waiting on insurance to approve or deny coverage for this program. I'm to the point where I willing to explore other options while we wait to find out from insurance. I'm kicking around a few ideas but I don't know…
I wanted to verify that the commenting system is working now. I've made some adjustments to CloudFlare, the main issue and I think we're back in business. Could you please let me know if this is working for you by leaving a comment, especially if you're using an iOS device. Thanks
Yesterday was Gavin's 13th birthday. His grandparents, whom he's living with right now, threw a party at a local Pizza Hut this afternoon. Gavin invited his classmates and it was his very first boy/girl party. He seemed to have a lot of fun and Lizze really enjoyed talking with the other moms. Emmett was so cute because he was all about Gavin today and Gavin's friends were really good with his high level of enthusiasm. :-) Elliott on the other hand was overwhelmed by party and was still overstimulated from his flu shot. Because of that, we ended up leaving early so we could get him home. It was really nice to see Gavin doing so well. I hung out with Lizze's dad and shot the breeze. My mom was…
I wanted to let everyone know that the boys have been successfully vaccinated for the 2013 flu season. Our pediatricians office was holding a flu clinic and there was a huge turn out. Emmett was able to receive the nasal mist. Elliott on the other hand needed the shot because he has asthma and asthma and the nasal mist don't play well together. Despite Elliott being nervous, he did really well and I'm really proud of him for being so brave. Emmett wasn't nervous at all and did great as well. I'm really glad that the turnout was so good. The more people vaccinated, the better the vaccine work.
