Ok everyone... Fit 4 Autism has been going for a few months now and the Fit 4 Autism team has racked up 642.76 km or about 400 miles so far. That is the combined contributions of all team members.  That's a whole lot of distance covered by the Fit 4 Autism team. WE NEED MORE MEMBERS. Membership is FREE but it will costs you some time and calories. Endomondo does all the tracking for us. It's super easy if you have a smart phone (iphone,android,blackberry,Nokia or Windows Mobile).. What's in it for you? Well you would be helping to bring attention to a worthwhile cause, Autism.  By participating you will be helping to support and motivate special needs parents to make the time to care for themselves. Far to many…

We have received a break tonight. Gavin and ER are spending the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They have been gone most of the afternoon. We got some shopping done. We got some things done for "Fit 4 Autism" as well. Lizze and I are getting Emmett down to bed and then watching a movie tonight. Emmett is actually much easier to handle when he is by himself.

When someone asks about your child do you say "Emmett has Autism" or "Emmett is Autistic"? I was just thinking about this while I was walking the other day. Wondering what you folks think.

In the spirit of honesty I need to say that I'm cracking. Gavin is going to be the death of me. I can't take the.problems.and behaviors. Nothing ever moves forward or gets better. It's not about giving up it's about being pushed to the edge of sanity. I can only say that the past 10 years have been grueling and without reprieve. I'm not complaining about my kids but instead the challenges we face as a family. We rarely get a break. I can't remember the last time we have been able to sleep at night. Having 3 Autistic children is a statiscal anamoly (spelling). The challenges that are involved are impossible to describe to anyone without an Autistic or child. I'm so tired anymore and Lizze seems to be…

...and Emmett John is still awake. Lizze and Emmett are both having reflux issues this morning. Long night for all. Posted from WordPress for Android via Fascinate

No matter what happens, no matter how challenging life is I will never give up.. Posted from WordPress for Android via Fascinate

We are really in need of prayers right now. Gavin is very manic right now and has been really struggling which effects everyone. Lizze is really struggling with her fibro and other health related issues. Emmett John has been regressing lately and that terrifies us both. The car is completely broken and we are trying to secure a loan to get it fixed. That isn't going very well. Things are just falling apart all around me and I can't seem to get anything done right. The last thing in the world I needed today was AEP showing up at my door to collect the bill or shut off our power. That has pretty much tapped us out for now. I just can't seem to get ahead of the curve anymore.…

We had a surprise party for my dad this afternoon. One of the very rare time we take all the kids out at the same time. It went pretty well and the kids had fun but are completely overstimulated. It's going to be a very long night.
