I chronical the experiences in our lives in the manner in which they happen. More often then not, it's bad news, well more like, not good news. On occasion, when the good stuff happens I want to make sure I share that as well. I'm very aware of how depressing this blog can be at times. However, I tend to look at it this way. Despite ALL that we are living through, we somehow manage to persevere. I think that's a very REAL positive. That's how I choose to look at the content of this blog. Now, as I mentioned before I do have some positive news to report. Earlier this week I make arrangements with Cinema Libre Studio to do a Loving Lampposts: Living Autistic give-a-way. I haven't figured out how I'm going…

I haven't been posting as much recently. Partly because I did most of my blogging from my phone and I didn't have one until a few days ago (see the previous post for details on that). A lot of stuff has been going on. Quite a bit of stress and frustration. I'm not sure where to begin. I suppose I can just begin and see what happens. This past week or so has been full of challenges.  I threw my back out about a week ago trying to help neighbors with a larch branch that came down with one of the last storms we had. Lizze has been in a pretty rough place and there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight. She has her headache infusion this coming…

Hey friends, it's been a little while. I haven't been posting like I usually do and I have a few reasons for that. I really want to regain my focus but the truth is right now it's a bit more difficult then usual.  There have actually been some pretty positive things in the past few days. For starters I want to say THANK YOU to the Android community for taking up the cause of spreading Autism Awareness. Recently I was VERY surprised by this communities generosity and compassion. A friend by the screen name of dreamsforgotten decided to take it upon himself to help me get my phone back. I had recently sold it in order to try to get our van fixed and cover some expenses related to the…

We have a whole lot of catching up to do.  Right now I'm just to tired. I'll try to play catch up in the morning. :)   Thanks for stopping by....

Gavin and Emmett have appointments with the GI doctor in the morning. Wish us luck Posted on the go without the use of proper editing tools via Nexus S 4G

Gavin will be starting week 5 of his new meds. They seem to be helping so far, however, the bipolar side of things is out of whack. Meaning he is manic. He had a rough time with today's blood work but still worlds ahead of where he was this time last year. Great job Gavin, we're proud of you.

Elliott is home kinda sick again today.  He has a very LOUD, very croupy cough. It's a bit to much for him to have while in class so we have some new cough medicine we are trying today to see if it helps. All goes well he can return in the morning on Thursday. Lizze is asleep with Emmett and Elliott and I are building with Lego's. I've been so stressed out as of late that I have been getting sick after I eat so I'm still "recovering: from breakfast. In a little bit I have to go run some errands before picking up Gavin and taking him for blood work. For now Elliott and I are making some Lego creations. :)  

Should my kids exist....really? Has everyone lost their mind or just sensitivity? Why are people questioning that? This has been eating away at me for the past week now. I try to let the unpleasant things people can say roll off of me but there are just some things I really struggle with. This past week has been a pretty rough one for me. Especially with a few unpleasant comments I have received. I know the whole "sticks and stones....." but sometimes things really do have a way of getting to me. Especially if it has to do with my family. Lately these unpleasant comments seem to center around where or not my kids should exist. A few days ago, I "debated" with someone who offered me their unsolicited opinion.…
