Today we learned something interesting at OT.  They say it helps to wake up your brain.  Basically,  you cross your arms,  and using your right hand,  grab your left ear.  Then grab you right ear with your left hand.  Now,  with your arms crossed and ears in hand,  you do squats.  Supposedly,  this forces you to use your left and right brain at the same time.  Subsequently,  your brain becomes more active. They had Emmett try that today and he was so stinkin' cute. He did 11 little squats before he got bored and moved on. Feel free to let me know how this works for you ;-) - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Samsungs Epic Touch 4G (provided to me at no charge by Sprint)…

I'm feeling like crap today.  My head cold is moving into my chest.  I'm so tired right now that my eyes are burning. I have already driven back and forth to Cleveland this morning.  I have 3 more appointments before I can finally succumb to to my ever growing need to lay down and die. Lizze has her migraine still,  so she isn't feeling well at all.  So there is no way to win.  If I don't keep pushing myself,  Lizze will suffer.  However,  if I push myself,  I may likely end up in the hospital,  which is prone to happen when,  on the rare occasions I actually do get sick. It's one of those rock and a hard place type thing.  Please pray this day goes quickly and without…

Sorry I have been slacking on this blog a bit.  I know I have and that bothers me.  The problem is that as things get more difficult at home I have less and less energy or even time,  for that matter,  to write.  I really want to get things back on track because this is a huge outlet for me.  With everything I have been trying to juggle,  I need the outlet than ever.  I'm not feeling well at all and so I have even less energy than normal.  I hope to get things back on track ASAP.  I know that my life has to come before the blog but the blog is a part of my life and I need to keep it moving forward. I have been on…

So,  we all know that we to take safety precautions when we have kids.  We do things like baby proof the house.  One of the things we needed to do was pull the knows off the stove,  so the kids couldn't turn on the gas burners.  However,  last night when I made dinner,  I forgot to pull one knows off.  This morning,  I had to run to the bank while Lizze and Emmett were napping.  I was gone about 20 minutes.  When I walked back into the house,  smoke was starting to come out of the kitchen.  I also heard the ticking on the igniter on the stove.  When I walked into the kitchen I found that the front left burner was on and the igniter was still ticking away.…

I got Elliott and Gavin both down for the night. I've taken out the trash,  cleaned the fish tank,  fed the lizard/dog/cat.  I managed to get a couple emails returned and a few posts written.  I'm not feeling well and I think I'm getting sick. My night cap consisted of NyQuil.. I'm falling asleep.. I'll talk to you tomorrow.... - 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.

I know I have said this before but I'm saying it again.  I question whether or not I'm strong enough to keep going.  It's not that I don't want to,  it's just too much. Days like today I just can't see myself surviving much more of. There is just too many things I have to do and not enough of me to do them. This whole move thing is killing me.  I can't find anywhere to go.  I did find a house about a week ago out in Hartville,  but we just missed it. There is nothing available that will meet our needs and I'm becoming discouraged.  I feel like every day we stay here,  I'm putting my family at risk. It's a horrible feeling,  not to mention a helpless…

Welcome to the Picture of the day for 10/24/2011. Today I'm featuring one of Gavin's little victories.  He made his own lunch today.  Pay close attention to the amount of jelly he used ;-) - 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.

Gavin has PT this afternoon.  Today has been exhausting and I have a massive headache.  I wish we could just slow down a little bit,  every once in awhile.  Tomorrow,  Emmett has therapy in the afternoon. This week is a slow one for the Lost and Tired household because we only have 10 appointments so far. It's gonna be a very long week. - 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.
