Today is a bitter sweet. We will "actually" be going to a family get together today for the first time in quiet a while. I say bitter sweet because Emmett won't be with us. Last night Emmett spent the night at Lizze's parents house so we could have a desperately needed break. They are keeping him today and taking him to Easter dinner. Lizze, myself and the other 2 boys will be going to my family's for Easter dnner. We weren't going to go because we would just spend the entire time chasing Emmett around and Lizze can't physically do it. It would end up falling mostly on me and I could do that at home.

Lizze will be hooked up to an IV and pumped full of narcotics for 8 hours at a time. She will do this for 3 days. The point is to break the migraine and identify…

My kids are Autistic we all know that. As much as I believe the world needs to be more accepting of my kids it may never happen. It's my job to prepare my kids to survive and if possible even thrive in this challenging world we live in. In order to do that I have to think outside the box. My kids are ALL VERY intelligent but can get "tunnel visioned" much to often and fail to see what's going on around them. My goal is to teach them to happy, healthy and productive members of society. So with that said, I have decided to take a slightly different approach to things with the boys. Traditional discipline has NEVER worked with my kids. Maybe it's an Autistic thing or maybe…
