I'm feeling a bit under the weather today.  I hoping that by going walking anyways,  I'll feel a bit better. I'm not gonna push myself to hard but the fresh air and time to myself might just help. The last thing in the world I want to do is get any worse.  Having said that,  my body has an amazing immune system which usually limits me to getting sick of once or twice every year or two. However,  I'm extremely stressed out right now and I think it's affecting my ability to fight this stuff off. By walking,  I'll reduce my stress load and hopefully out myself in a better place to keep from getting sick.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Community Autism…

I like to show you all things from my perspective.  Most of the time I'm referring to what I think or feel about a particular subject or situation. However,  lately I've been wanting to share things from my perspective,  in the more literal sense. I think it's neat to be able to see things through the eyes of someone else. So,  I wanted to share with you this exact moment,  through my eyes.  You will see what I see,  for one moment. Right now,  I'm sitting on the couch with my tiniest minion,  Mr. Emmett John.  As you know,  he is battling pneumonia right now but actually seems to be feeling a bit better. I think the antibiotics are working,  thank God.  I even caught his amazing smile, as you…

Unfortunately,  it seems like my number is up. My chest hurts and I have begun with a cough.  I'm on the couch with a cup of hot tea and two sick kids. It's going to be a long weekend. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Community Autism Support Forum Posted from WordPress for Android so please forgive any typos as auto-correct and I don't see eye to eye. :-)

For those of you that didn't know,  Elliott is obsessed with Super Mario anything. Currently,  his favorite is Super Mario Sunshine.  He has a few little Mario characters but none from Super Mario Sunshine.  We have looked everywhere but couldn't find anything.  He wants a little Mario character with flood on his back. He so desperate for this that he has taken to making his own. He's blending scotch tape, Lego's and his Super Mario characters and making them into pseudo Super Mario Sunshine characters.  He's very proud of them and wanted to share them with the world.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Community Autism Support Forum Posted from WordPress for Android so please forgive any typos as auto-correct and I don't see…

How many of you have seen the movie Risky Business? If you haven't, there is a scene where the character played by Tom Cruise is sliding across the floor and dancing in his underwear. My littlest minion, Emmett, was channeling that character while watching an episode of Phineus and Ferb.  He just starts dancing and grooving to the song on the show. He's way to stinkin' cute and I think he knows it. Please enjoy the Lighter Side of #Autism: Risky Business   [youtube width="720" height="480"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Z9Q1NZ5Ks[/youtube]

Gavin has been to the doctor and he does not have pneumonia...at least at this point. His throat is full of red dots and they tested for strep,  however,  the rapid test must have come back negative because we never got a call. Last night,  Gavin was coughing up and storm.  He was waking himself up.  I kept asking him if he was okay,  and he said he was fine. Perhaps I shouldn't rely on what he says because he's not a very reliable source of information like that. He may be saying he's fine because he simply doesn't know what else to say. I'll have to keep close eye on him and watch for signs that things may be getting worse. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and…

I don't think tired quite describes how feel right now. The last thing I feel like doing it walking.  However,  it's important that I push myself to go because if I skip now,  it will be easier to skip out later on. As much as I don't want to go now,  I'll feel sooooo much better about myself when I'm done.  Sometimes I have to remember that I'm not just doing this for me.  I'm doing this for my future as well as my kids future.  They need me to be around for a really long time. If I don't get and keep myself healthy,  I won't be able to do that. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Community Autism Support Forum Posted from…
