My parents called today and wanted to know if we wanted to go visit some relatives out in Y-town.  Unfortunately,  we couldn't go because we need to replace the tires on the front end of the van. The other problem with it was that we simply weren't in a position to put gas in the car,  especially with all the excessive driving we have to do this week. However,  that didn't mean that the kids couldn't go. My parents took the boys and Lizze and I got to relax and bit.  Unfortunately,  my allergies are in overdrive right now,  probably cause of the rain last night and today.  I took some benadryl and doozed off for a bit. We really needed this break in order to have a better shot…

So I have been kicking around the idea of doing some podcasting since last year.  Nothing significant but maybe every once in awhile. Sometimes I find it easier and more time effective to record my thoughts,  rather the always write them down.

So I went upstairs the other night to get ready for bed and this is what I find. I think it's pretty funny how both of them can sleep through this.  Emmett is laying on his back and across Lizze's face.  Naturally I had to take pictures of this as it was both cute and funny all at the smell time....... - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2 powered Motorola Photon 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 coming week will quite possibly be the worst week so far this year in terms of stress.  Elliott starts school on Tuesday and we still need to find a uniform shirt.  The same day,  Gavin has his second infusion therapy at Akron Children's Hospital at 10:00 am and will likely be sick for a day or so after.  On Wednesday,  Emmett has surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids.  Normally this is an out patient procedure but in Emmett's case, he will be admitted for a period of at least 24 hours to make sure he is okay. This is due in part to his age and his limited ability to verbally communicate.  During and after the surgery,  Gavin will still be recovering from the antibody infusion,  likely at…

I'm in desperate need of sanity today. Emmett and Elliott are going at it and Gavin is just off today.  Lizze slept until about 10:30am this morning so that's good. The plan is to feed everyone lunch and get them off to their rooms for a nap.  Then daddy can crawl around the floor looking for all my lost marbles.  I don't hold out much hope of finding them but you never know ;-) - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2 powered Motorola Photon 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 time,  8 years ago,  we would have only been married a few hours.  I think we were actually out to dinner about right now. Alot has happened in the last 8 years.  So I guess it was kind of nice to have a quite day. Not a whole lot happened today. Lizze got her migraine medication via injection about 4 hours ago. She slept for a good while and woke up in time for dinner. The 4 of us are watching a movie and just kind of relaxing.  I believe most of Lizze's migraine is gone for now,  so that's a good thing.  Hopefully,  we can all get a good night's sleep.  We have a very difficult week ahead with hundreds of miles worth of driving and we need…

I was awarded a featured guest blogger spot on a great blog called Nathan's Voice, by it's author, Lorrie.  I am a Mom to four wonderful children, the youngest son being diagnosed with the autism spectrum disorder, just sharing her family's experiences in hopes it might help someone out there. I am also "Nana" to a very energetic grandson and a new grandbaby on the way! Lorrie is featuring my article entitled, My Broken Heart. I wrote this back in February of this year, after experiencing something that changed my life. I want to thank Lorrie for honoring me with this guest blogger spot. I truly consider it a privilege when someone want's to share my work on their site. Please check out her blog, read her story and share in her journey.  …

  I meant to share this a while ago but with everything going on, it got lost in the shuffle.  I have been syndicated by Autisable.com. This is really cool website with a great deal of useful information. I'm really excited to be a part of it now. Thank you Autisable.com for inviting me to share my writing as well as my family's story. Here is one of my articles that published today.  Help! Does my kid have OCD?
