I don't know what the heck is going on with the boys but they have essentially been up all night. Emmett had a meltdown at 1:30 am and it lasted for quite awhile. I have know idea what happened, he just woke up and thought it was time to get up. I think Emmett ended up waking Elliott. Lizze and I have been back and forth with the boys all night. Is there full moon that I missed.
Out of respect for the family involved, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I'm asking everyone to please say a prayer for peace. Tragedy struck this evening and there are people experiencing unimaginable pain tonight. I'm at a loss for words as I have never witnessed anything like this before in my life. I was a medic for a long time and I'm having a really hard time processing what I saw tonight. Please say a prayer tonight for this family. Their hearts are breaking. Hug your loved ones and never take them for granted. Thank you
I have been using the commenting system called LiveFyre for a little while now. I like the networking features but it seems that a great many people are having issues with it. My goal is to create and foster conversation and dialog. That can't be done if the commenting tool is user friendly. I personally feel that IntenseDebate is the best option as it's made by wordpress and works very, very well. I value your opinion and so I'm asking you to vote for your prefered commenting software. :-) [polldaddy poll=6643074]
I finished setting up the snakes new winter home. We already had everything we needed down in the basement, including the heat lamp. The boys are busy thinking about a name. To be honest, I don't know that it matters what we call it because we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. The snake seems to be doing much better this afternoon. I thinking that it may have been dazed yesterday. It still acts a bit strange but I think it's going to be okay. It's really tiny and I don't honestly know how it survived the incident in the first place. Either way, he/she that is yet to be named, will have a comfortable winter and hopefully be ready to be released in the spring when…
The boys arrived home just a few minutes ago. I was however, distressed to learn that Emmett woke up and wanted to come home about 2am this morning. My mother tried calling both my phone and Lizze's phone. However, the calls went straight to voicemail and never rang through to our phone. I would like to thank @Sprint for still not addressing the network issues we are still experiencing. I don't expect perfection and I understand that there will be dropped calls. However, things are becoming way too unreliable and now my kids are paying the price. I appreciate the replacement phones but they aren't any better. Emmett was crying and my parents couldn't get a hold of us because our phones weren't receiving any calls. That's something that really…
Yesterday while I was mulching the leaves, there was an accident. This little baby snake got caught up in the process. I thought it was actually dead but it wasn't. It was however, injured. The boys were pretty upset by it and decided that we should take care of it, so it can get better. This little guy or girl is only a few inches long. I wanted to embrace and encourage my kids compassion for even the smallest among mother nature's creatures. I pulled an old aquarium out of the basement and set up a nice little temporary home. The goal being to release it in the spring. I use to have snakes when I was younger so I know how to care for them. I also figured that…

Lizze and I had a very low key evening last night. After dropping the boys off at my parents house we went to the grocery store and grabbed some necessities. We also picked up a few things for dinner as well. Lizze was not feeling well last night and fell asleep on the couch while watching Netflix.. She's still sleeping at 10 am this morning. I got up to let the dogs out and eat breakfast. I don't know when the boys will be home so right now, it's all about getting some rest. Hopefully, Lizze will be feeling better today.
