Lizze has an appointment with one of her neurologists at 7:30 am.  Elliott and Gavin are spending the night with her parents and Emmett will hang out with my mom in the morning,  so I can get Lizze to the appointment. This appointment is important because Lizze has had this migraine now for weeks.  She needs and deserves relief from this constant onslaught of pain. I'm really hoping they can do something to help her.  I'm not sure when this will post but I'm typing this from my phone at 2am. I can't sleep cause I'm not feeling well and I can't take anything because I need to be able to drive in the morning.  NyQuil bas been my friend the last two nights but it's really hard for me…

Lizze and I have been married for over 8 years now and I'm still learning new things every day.  Today I learned that I should ask her what I can do to help,  instead of just doing it without asking. I'll be completely honest, I don't fully understand why but I do understand it's important to her. Lizze is not the easiest person to read, so whether I understand or not, I know enough to respect her request. We live a very challenging life and so anything that can make it easier for her is worth it. :-) Sometimes it's the little things...right?   :-) - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Samsungs Epic Touch 4G (provided to me at no charge by Sprint) without the use of…

Out of nowhere,  Gavin has decided that he wants to trim his own nails....all by himself.  At first,  I was like no.  However,  I realized that this was a bid for independence and I should not stand in the way of that. While he's stalling struggling with this a little bit,  the fact that he wanted to take this on is a huge victory...at least in my book:-)   Hell yeah... Great job Gavin :-D - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Samsungs Epic Touch 4G (provided to me at no charge by Sprint) without the use of proper editing tools and disadvantages of a bastardized version of auto-correct.

This morning has been really, really bad. I will post about this a bit later on. Basically, things went so wroing this morning that I decided we needed to try to recover. Emmett is still in the very early stages of this new fever cycle, so he's going OK this morning. So after dealing with the drama from this morning, I decided to take Lizze and Emmett out to breakfast, which is something we never get to do. We also need to try and get Emmett's hair cut as well. Once the fever fully kicks in, we will be stuck in the house for the better part of 10 days. After breakfast, Emmett should be in a good mood so the hair cut may actually be possible. - Lost and…

We all know the old saying, "they come in three's". Well, we were hit, smack dab in the face with that today. Typically, this saying refers to death but thankfully, that doesn't apply in this case. What I'm talking about is more along the lines of just bad things happening. For whatever reason, my family seems to be just like a magnet for bad things. We have, over the years, adopted the notion that anything that can happen, will happen. I know that not the best attitude to have but it's the reality we find ourselves in, more often than not. Today was just one of those days where both of these sayings applied.   Number 1 Lizze, in desperation, was seeking additional help from a Rheumatologist to help manage her fibromyalgia. She was basically denied…
