It has been a long and trying weekend. We were suprised this morning with a phone call from my parents. They wanted to take the boys to see my grandma in Y-Town. This was a welcomed suprise as I had a ton of things to do today. Lizze got to sleep most of the day and she needed that. I got the grocery shopping done and then quite a bit of yard work as well. While it was weekend filled with challenge, it was also filled with some progress and that doesn't happen very often. Thanks for the help Mom and Dad. I ALao want to thank Lizze's parents for taking Gavin for a few days this past week. We all needed the break. - Lost and Tired Post by…

My kids, Emmett and Gavin in particular have ever growing needs. Doctors visits and therapies, just to name a few. Much of the time I'm able to meet those needs and others times I'm not.  Typically, I try to take it a week at a time as that's the best I can do right now. Currently, I have arrived at a place where I just can't keep up with the demand. Gavin's recent hospital stays and the van breaking down have disrupted our rather delicate financial balance. At times like these I have to find other ways to make it another week. The boys have a week filled with therapies and at least one trip to Akron Children's Hospital. So the agenda for today is to figure out how to make it…

After a long tiring day of playing, screaming and yelling Emmett finally crashes. While sitting up on the couch AND fully clothed. :-)  Isn't he precious... - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.

Emmett has made his triumphant return home from my parents house. What does he do the moment he arrives home? I'll give you 3 guesses but if you read this blog regularly, you'll only need one. That's right, he strips down to his skivvies. Clearly, he has had all he could take of his clothes today. Some people come home and have a drink or watch the game to unwind, Emmett sheds his clothes. Autism? Sensory issues? What are you talking about? Certainly none of that here. ;-) - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.

We actually made it out last night to see the last Harry Potter movie. We had a few hickups but it all turned out OK. My parents took Emmett and Lizze's took Gavin and Elliott. Thanks everyone for helping me pull this one off. Lizze had a great time and is currently trying to sleep off the migraine but she got to be there at midnight for the last movie. Thanks again. This doesn't happen very often. In fact I think the last time was 2 Harry Potter movies ago. It was a much needed break but I'm missing my babies ;-) - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.

Hey all. I thought it might be nice to provide a little something for the kiddos. So what I did was select a couple movies (that are kid friendly) and embedd them on a special page here. This way if your kids are looking for something to do maybe they could be entertained for a while watching one of these movies. We git rid of cable and satellite a few years ago now and live watching internet based TV. My kids LOVE being able to do this so I thought I would share this with all of you as well. The current movie line up includes Jonha A VeggieTales Movie and Little Nemo. Simply click the link belong or the Sensory Friendly Movies page at the top. You can make…
