The boys are being pretty well behaved today.  I'm really grateful for that. I have even been able to do some cleaning and laundry as well. Elliott has settled into some Portal 2 puzzles and the Emmett and Gavin are coloring at the table.  I was thinking about taking them somewhere but unfortunately, due to all the traveling we have to do this week,  I have to conserve gas or we won't be able to make it to Akron Children's Hospital on Monday and the Cleveland Clinic a few days later. It's been pretty quiet outside today so maybe I'll take them outside for a hit and let them play. It's beautiful outside and I'd love to take advantage of the weather. I did promise the boys that we would…

This coming week marks the beginning of a new journey for the Lost and Tired family.  Actually,  we will being two new journeys. Monday, Elliott will be making a visit to the pediatricians office to discuss anti-anxiety medications.  This is a really big deal because medication can help Elliott to regain some of his lost quality of life.  Later on in the week,  Lizze will make her first trip to the Cleveland Clinic,  rather the first trip for her and not Gavin. We will be meeting with an autonomic disorder specialist.  Hopefully,  we can get to the bottom of at least some of her health issues.  This will be the first of many appointments in many different departments. In the coming months we will see the headache clinic and rheumatology…

I'm about to take on an entire day, with all three boys, by myself. I've done this a few times before but not recently. Lizze is going to spend some time with her Mom this morning. It will be good for her to have a quiet afternoon, away from the chaos. I have no idea what we are going to do today. Maybe we will make it a movie kinda day. Maybe we'll go outside for a little while. I would like to get some work done today as I have another article due on Tuesday. Hopefully, everyone will cooperate and today will be fun for everyone.

Today has been relatively mundane.  The boys were gone for a good part of the day. I got some writing done and even collected up each and every sock in the house so I could wash them. While they never actually made it into the wash,  they are all in a basket.  It's a start. I don't think we had any problems with Gavin today.  The same goes for the other two as well. Maybe we had to repeat ourselves a few times but nothing major. In the morning,  Lizze is going to hang out with her Mom.  I get the boys all to myself, for most of the day.  Lizze needs the time away and I'm hoping this helps.  Lizze is in a really bad place.  Her migraines are…

All three of the boys are in rare form today. Fortunately, for Lizze and I,  they are all going to spend the day with her parents.  This will be a nice little break from the our otherwise chaotic existence.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.
