First a super quick update..  There were some things we had planned for the weekend that we've had to cancel in light of Gavin's current circumstance. It sucks but there's no question it's the best thing to do, at least until we know more.  I was thinking about taking the kids to see the new Transformer's movie, until I remembered about Gavin. We'll have to do a movie night at home instead.  Anyway, the point of this post was to share a bit of outside the box thinking.  I'm really working to get back in shape, or at least better shape. Getting back to where I was before a major back injury and three kids, is a tall order. lol Lizze is sleeping and frankly in rough shape at the…

This week has taken its toll. Actually, the last two weeks have taken their toll. As much as we try to shield the kids from the grownup things we have to deal with, they almost always pick up in it. They might now know what's wrong, but they know some things wrong in general. They're very perceptive.  I don't know how long it will be before we see the other side of this tunnel, but as of yet, I'm not seeing any light in front of us.  Neither Elliott or Emmett were able to fall asleep last night.

We've pretty much been trapped inside today. It's Hall of Fame week here is Canton, and it's taken over pretty much everywhere.  The boys and I were going to go to the park and walk, but the Police have the park closed down because of what I think is celebrity parking. The park is full of huge RV's and tour busses.  People are already camping out on the side of the road, in anticipation of the parade in the morning.  If I look out my windows, I can see all these tents lining the parade route which is less than a hundred yards from my house. It's going to be extremely noisy tonight because everyone camping out will be partying. There's usually a DJ and really loud music.  People don't…

The weather isn't going to be kind to us today, and that kills the chances of walking outside. The boys are bored and, I need to find us all something to do.  There are some things I need to do before we can do anything. Once thays done, I'm thinking about taking the kids to a dollar movie.  Perhaps a movie is a good idea because I have hours to wait before getting Gavin's lab results back. I need to be distracted.
