What the hell

What the hell is wrong with society. The Canton Repository just posted a follow up to the article I posted earlier (see It's Really Scary). They arrested two suspects believed to be responsible for the triple shooting that happened about a block or so from my house over the weekend. They were kids, one was 16 and the other 18. This is absolutely insane.  What's wrong with the world, that our kids are doing things like this? Here is the article as posted by the Canton Repository, all credit goes to them for the article. I'm simply quoting. CANTON-Detectives arrested an 18-year-old city man and a juvenile after three people were shot early Sunday morning in a 12th Street NW apartment. Devione C. Mitchell, 18, of 1718 Regent Ave. NE,…

It’s a gas…

We will be getting Elliott's broken tooth fixed tomorrow,  at 9:30 am.  Elliott is very likely to be extremely anxious about going to see the dentist.  I spoke with the dentists office about my concerns and they asked if he would tolerate the mask needed to deliver the sleeping gas. I think he will do that.  It's a much better option than trying to do this with him awake. Thankfully it's just a baby tooth. It could always be..........wow,  that was close.  I almost jinxed myself.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

It’s really scary

This was in the Canton Repository today.  There was another shooting within about a block of our house. It's getting scary really scary out here anymore. All credit for this article goes to The Canton Repository. CANTON-Detectives are investigating a triple shooting that occurred around 2 a.m. Sunday. Police and medics were called to 822 12th Street NW, where three gunshot victims were found. Canton Police Lt. Dan McCartney called the incident a “home invasion gone bad.” A witness told police that two men entered the apartment and shot three occupants. According to the police report, the suspects still were in the residence when officers arrived. The report said they tried to “blend in” with others at the apartment, but a witness identified them as the shooters. Police have three…

What are your questions about #Autism?

Today's #Autism Discussion is going to be very simple but perhaps the most helpful yet. I want to create an ongoing dialog, where people can ask questions about Autism and have them answered by other members of the community. I think this is a great way to spread Autism Awareness. So...... Do you have any questions about Autism that you would like to have answered? Please don't be afraid to ask anything, you will be treated with respect and we will work hard to provide you with honest answers.

Two days later

Elliott is finally asleep. He's been awake for the better part of 2 days. I mentioned that he broke a tooth and I think that is contributing to the problem. Tonight,  I bumped his melatonin up a little bit.  It was just enough to help ease him off to sleep.  Thank God for small favors.

It just got worse

Remember when I mentioned earlier today that I don't play the it could always be worse game? Well,  I shouldn't even have brought it up because it just got worse. I figured out why Elliott hasn't been sleeping or eating much.  I was brushing his teeth tonight to make sure they got done right.  That's when I saw it. He broke one of his molars,  basically in half. You can see a big black hole, straight down and it looks unpleasant. To be completely honest it looks friggin painful. I don't know how he's been coping with this. We will have to likely keep him home from school and get an emergency appointment to the dentist in the morning. That will not go very well. Please keep Elliott in your…

Oatmeal… To Go

Gavin unsuccessfully attempted to play Lizze and I off wach other this afternoon.  We had given him quite a bit of slack today and all he did was hang himself with it. We were going to have dinner with my Mom tonight since my Dad was working late. We were cooking out on the grill. Web decided to send Gavin a message. That message was in the form of oatmeal....at the cook out. He wasn't happy and of course had the massive tantrum, par for the course. He kept asking for things at my Mom's that he knew he wasn't allowed to have because of his behaviors. That was pretty frustrating. However,  he had no further tantrums and the night went on without any major hiccups. This was posted via…
