Feeling a bit out of sorts lately

I've been feeling a bit disconnected lately and it's got me in kind of a weird headspace. The kids have been sick for a week, which is stressful enough because they've missed a lot of school as a result. As I'm writing this, I can hear them both coughing in the living room and they're supposed to returning to school in the morning. It's nothing more than a cold or sinus thing but I know I would be upset if my kids came home from school as we're drowning in new COVID cases, telling me that there was a kid in their class coughing and hacking up a lung all day. I would be livid that this child was allowed to return to school. Ohio is back up to over…

Have you seen Nano Jewelry before? Check this out!! (Review)

I work with tons of companies and get pitched just as many items for review. I don't take on even a quarter of what I'm offered because I'm just not interested. That being said, sometimes something comes along that captures my attention because it's truly unique, and not something I see everyday. This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long while and it's by a company called NanoStyle. They create incredibly unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry. I ordered the I Love You Necklace Onyx Pendant Inscribed in 24k Gold. It says "I Love You" in 120 different languages. On the surface it almost looks like a fingerprint but when you use the included magnifying glass, you can clearly read everything. It's so cool. This particular…

It’s been 2 weeks since back surgery and here’s how I’m doing

It's been such a good day I almost don't know what to do with myself. I had my stitches removed on Tuesday night and as far as I can tell, I'm back up to 100%. I was able to do a 90 minute workout today for the first time since my surgery and it felt amazing. I have to play catchup a little bit because of the time off but I don't seem to have lost any of the gains I've made. I can't explain how good it feels to be off restriction and back to my old self. The boys have been home all week from school. They came home from their mom's house on Sunday not feeling well. It's just a cold but they aren't allowed at school…

Tips for apartment hunting special needs families

Special needs parents generally have a tremendous amount of responsibility on their plates at any given time. I've experienced a great deal of things over my two decades as a special needs parent and I try to share some of that here. People ask me questions all the time and sometimes those questions are such that I think it's worth writing a post about it. This particular question was in regards to house or apartment hunting when you have a special needs child. They specified the New York area and were specifically interested in locating an apartment. The concern was how to find something that met their unique needs as a growing special needs family, as well as what they should include in their thought process. I was thinking about…

I feel grateful for all I have

The kids went to school without any problems. That's always a good thing. I'm not a huge fan of having to make multiple trips but it is what it is. I had to drop Emmett off a bit early because Gavin had a follow-up with neurology at the Cleveland Clinic. Thankfully, this was a telehealth appointment, so I didn't have to drive. This was an appointment to discuss slowly getting Gavin off of his autonomic medications. There's a good chance he's outgrown some, if not all of these autonomic related problems. ENHAN We have to be very careful and make these changes slowly, over time. It's going to be a work in progress but he's got this. The fewer meds the better. After his appointment I hit the gym. It's…

Some much needed perspective

I'm laying in bed tonight just thinking about how lucky I am. Sometimes I don't focus enough on the positive things in my life and that's not a good thing. I get that it's important to be realistic and I tend to be a realist but at the same time, perspective is really important also. I was in a weird mood for part of the day and I'm not really sure why. I mentioned eariler that I thinks it's combination of being worn out and a lack of sleep. Not being able to workout hasn't been doing me any favors either. That being said, I've since pulled myself out of the funk I was in and I'm feeling great. ENHAN Everyone is in bed and I'm winding down for the…
