My wife has a new article up at the examiner.com. Please give her a click. It's a great article and each click helps pay the bills and support our family. Here is the short link: Cleveland Examiner.com. Thanks LT Posted without proper editing tools from my Blackberry.

A friend sent me a message on Facebook today. She had some information she thought we might be able to use. I was touched by the gesture but what really hit was what she said later. I'll share that in a minute. I have said many times that I wish people understood what it was like to be in our shoes. She responded to that honestly by saying, " I cant say that I understand completely except from one parent to another your happy when they are happy, you laugh when they laugh, you cry when they cry because you love them so much. " That statement really hit me. If more people felt that way then maybe we could bridge the gap. Maybe we wouldn't have to feel so…

Emmett John is hiding from me. Do you know where he is? LT Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

We just got back and the movie was good. Gavin would have never have made it through the first 20 mins. Way to intense for an aspergers child with anxiety issues. We have been doing this for so long now we look at each other at the same time and say Gavin would be freaking out right now. As a special needs parent knowing your child's limitations become second. We don't even realize we are doing it most of the time. I think it's one of those things nature adds to our pile of resources. Lizze and I both knew we made a good choice to send Gavin somewhere else after the movie was done. Elliott Richard and Emmett John were fine. Er made it through the whole movie and…

We are off to see Toy Story 3. Gavin is on his way with Grandpa to go visit Great Grandma Gene. Gavin cannot sit through a movie at the theater (probably a sensory related thing) so it really is unfair of us to make him go just so we can all do something as a family. He'll have a blast with Grandpa so I don't feel so bad. Maybe I'll try to get him to a dollar movie this summer and see how he does. I would love to see a movie with him again. The last one we went to was "Over The Hedge" and Gavin was freaked out by the "hedge" not the scary bear. We get up and leave every time. But I like trying every once…

Elliott fell asleep awhile ago but I just can't get comfortable on this couch. Watching the fish hoping to fall asleep but it's not working. You get to a point when you are so tired but yo can't sleep. Sounds funny but it's true. Good night, hopefully LT Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

Well today has come and gone and I find myself on the couch with Elliott Richard. He has been struggling tonight. I think his allergies are raging right now. Lizze ran out to get some allergy meds. Emmett John had a low key birthday. No one called or stopped by. We are going to Toy Story 3 on Sunday. Gavin is going to visit Great Grandma Gene. Gavin won't sit through the movie so it works out well. Gavin actually had a pretty good day. Lizze and I took turns sleeping today. Doesn't look like tonight is going to be any better.
