We kicked off our first full week of school

We just kicked off our first full week of school. As I've stated previously, we've chosen the remote learning model for a number of reasons. Today was largely a success because everyone got into their respective classes and did well. The boys seem to really be enjoying this experience better and I'm so happy with that. They love the face time with their teachers and friends. That's very positive and frankly, a huge relief. In other news. I've been thinking and I spoke with the kids today. Rebuilding my podcast studio has inspired me to make changes throughout the house, one room at a time. This has inspired me to work on the rest of the house It's important to me that we make the best of our current situation.…

Okay, that’s a little over the top

The boys and I have been keeping things pretty low key today. One of the reasons for that is that Gavin's behaviors are way over the top. By over the top, I mean exaggerated. He's finding everything hilarious and is very loud and excitable. This is actually common with autistic kids but it's not super common for Gavin in particular. To be clear, he's not misbehaving in any way. He's just being a bit annoying to everyone around him. LOL That being said, it's still cool to see him in such a good mood. Gavin doesn't really have a sense of humor that most people will get and doesn't like making jokes. Today however, he's making all kinds of jokes and is goofing around. Despite it being a bit much,…

It was actually a decent day

We had a pretty decent day. I received my replacement podcast equipment. I use a Rodecaster Pro and the other day, the boys and I were interviewed for an upcoming TV segment. I had to plug in headphones for everyone. I've not used them all before and one of them was broken. I was able to get this replaced but I was also shutdown until it arrived. It showed up today, so that was cool. We had a quiet day for the most part and that's okay. We did end up going hiking for a little while and there was a bit of excitement as we tried to leave the house. We were able to eventually get away and went for a nice little hike. For the most part, the…

Finally, a bit of good news

I wanted to update you guys on my current court situation. As I shared yesterday, I was subpoenaed to be a State's witness in a serious trial. You can read what this is all about here. Okay, so I heard back from the prosecuting attorney and they really nice about everything. I'm so grateful for that. I was informed that I don't need to worry about it. We went over a bit of information and it was decided that I probably won't be needed but it's still possible that I will be. Rather than make me show up to court all week, I can hang at home and worst case scenario, they will take my testimony remotely. That's a huge relief. The kids are relieved I don't have to go…

This week just became more stressful

This week has gotten insanely crazy. The last 2 days have been incredibly stressful but not for any reason you'd ever suspect. I was letting the dog out last night and I found a subpoena taped to my font door. I have been subpoenaed to be a State's witness in a very serious trial. I was completely caught off guard and I was required to be in the courthouse in standby for at least a week waiting to testify. This took place shortly before Lizze left last year and I think I talked about it then. Anyway, I'm not directly involved at all. Trying to mix things up a bit with the remote learning Basically, this in regards to piece of evidence. Lizze and I spent a great deal of…

An Exercise Guide To Maintain Or Regain Body Strength And Balance In Your Golden Years

Old age brings limitations, deformities, and illness, but it also portrays survival and sensibility. The wrinkles and freckles are work of art that tells the story of the person’s life. It is the golden age where a person relinquishes all his responsibilities and takes a step into a carefree tomorrow. But, the majority of senior citizens, along with responsibilities, lose their sense of health and wellness too. They slide into a sedentary life, which makes them frail and diffident. Thus, they become prone to slip-and-fall accidents. As per a report shared by WHO, falling is the 2nd leading cause of accidental injury deaths across the globe, and adults over 65 years of age are more susceptible to fatal falls. This brings us to the importance of body strength and balance…

I have to be 3 places at once

The boys have school today and I have four meetings before mid-afternoon. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to pull all of this off just yet but I'm hoping for cooperation. I fully expect to be inturrupted but I'm not sure what else I can do. I have to be in three places at once. Emmett got into his first two classes but is having issues getting into his next two classes. I'm working with the school to trouble shoot and I know it's going to require my attention while I'm scheduled to do something else. While I was scrambling to help Emmett, Elliott decided to close his eyes between classes and I didn't know that. By the time I figured that out, he'd missed 15 minutes of his…
