Okay, so I've been a bit unplugged today and aside from paying attention to the news and getting some work done, I've not been online much recently. My focus today was on moving forward and taking the necessary steps in order to do that. I had a meeting today and I have another one tomorrow. I'd rather be doing just about anything else and it's very emotional for me but we can't move forward by standing still. I feel good about everything, I mean, all things considered anyway. I spent my downtime going through hundreds of emails from the last week or two. I really need a secretary to help manage all this. I keep finding myself buried in correspondence and I can never seem to get through all of…

No matter how challenging things get in my house or how frustrated I become, there are always little moments that remind me life is beautiful, well worth the fight and far from over. ☺

Last night, the boys had a mini guys night in the living room. We watched a movie, ate some candy and I left them to hangout. It was only Elliott and Emmett. I was in my room and must have dozed off. When I woke up, a little after midnight, I realized I didn't hear any noise, so I went downstairs to check on my kiddos. I slipped on the very first step and fell all the way down. I was able to pull myself up and checked on my kids. Emmett was asleep on the couch and slept through the whole ordeal. I opted to let him stay there and I made my way back to bed. I'm gonna be honest, I hurt but I'm okay and grateful that…

I got a ton of things accomplished yesterday and I would go so far as to say it was a successful day. There were two meetings I had to attend and both went really well. I had an amazing opportunity to speak with someone from Facebook, who's helping me improve my efforts. They approached me prior to our trip about helping. I'm so glad they did. I also recently met a fellow Autism parent, and spent some time recording for her podcast yesterday. It was awesome to learn more about her family and how she and her husband manage things. The kids got along pretty well and even had a good visit with their mom. I feel good about everything and I'm grateful we had such a fantastic day.

The kids had a hard time falling asleep last night and a difficult time getting up this morning. I swear it was like pulling teeth, just to get them out of bed. That being said, both Elliott and Emmett got to school, basically on time and with the intention of staying all day. I skipped walking today and did so for a couple of reasons. My left foot has been in a lot of pain for the last few months. Haven't really talked about it but it's a problem. It's plantars fasciitis, so while it's extremely painful, it's not serious. My sister has a PhD in physical therapy and has given me some things to do to finally make it go away. The other reason I skipped was because Gavin…
