Gavin is already trying to manipulate his way into special breaks at school. He's also becoming annoyed by questions and is way to focused on snack time. The kids are allowed to bring a snack to eat before lunch. Gavin asked if he could bring a banana to school today. However, because he's so focused on eating that it's interfering with his class work and impacting his attitude, perhaps there won't be any more snacks. That sees like a pretty natural consequence to me. Having said that, Gavin doesn't care that we are doing that. Sometimes I feel like beating my head into the wall because that holds more appeal for me than continuing to deal with this stuff. :-( This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsungs…
Lostandtired.com has become very popular. There thousands of visits to my site each and every day. I'm really proud of that and I also grateful. However, I haven't had the pleasure or honor of meeting many of you. I would like that to change. You all know about me and my family but I don't know anything about many of you folks. I would really like it if you would take a second and introduce yourselves. Maybe share something about your story. I know it's not always easy to do that but I think it would go a long way towards bolstering the community here. I think of us all as one giant extended family. We all aim to help each other, whether here on the blog or inside the…
Emmett is having another rough morning. He has screamed himself hoarse again. I don't know what's up with him but something surely is. He's been asking to go to a movie for the past few days. Lizze and I are going to take him to see a $1 movie this afternoon before picking the boys up from school. I don't expect to make it through the whole movie but maybe this will help to change the direction for the rest of the day.

I like to give credit where credit is due. This time the credit goes to Gavin. All day yesterday, he made good choices and aside from a few little hiccups, he really did do well.

We had to put gas in the van today and I about stroked out. Gas has hit $3.99 a gallon in Canton Ohio. I think it goes without saying that when your a special needs family, this is of major concern. How do you get to all the necessary appointments if you can't afford gas? This is absolutely insane. Someone needs to do something about this. It's really sad when we get excited about $3.00 a gallon gas prices. How are things in your neck of the woods? How do the gas prices affect your ability to meet your children's needs? Have you found a way to help take the edge off? This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsungs Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos. I…
Today has gone down hill rapidly. I spent the afternoon dealing with some issues with my company. After 10+ years in business, I think we are going to have to shut it down. The thought of that makes me sick. Emmett has been screaming for the last 30l minutes. We're in the waiting room at Dr. Patti's and Emmett is still screaming because he couldn't find his ball before we had to leave.. Lizze and I have been taking turns with him outside so as not to disturb everyone else in the building. My head is pounding and I'm pretty much overwhelmed and drowning in stress. It's going to be a $5 pizza tonight because I just don't have the energy to cook after today. Do you ever have one…
I am so completely amazed with how Elliott's beautiful mind works. I've mentioned before about Elliott’s fascination with Portal 2. Personally, I think this is a fantastic game for Elliott due to the extremely challenging puzzles. However, Elliott is now creating his own levels and there actually working levels. This is not easy to do because you have to plan out every single move and be able to think several steps ahead or the level will be broken.. He actually figuring out the software needed to construct and test these levels. Once they are in good shape, he can publish them to the Steam servers for anyone to download and play. We are having so much fun and I'm so incredibly proud of him. Maybe he will become a game…
