Well that was fun (insert sarcasm here)

It's been a really trying day, from a parenting standpoint anyway. I suppose that spills over into everything else as well. If you're a parent in general, you've probably had those days where it's one thing after another and there is this little voice in the back of your head suggesting you run away and join the circus. LOL It's been one of those days. I'll just focus on the two most recent things and I'm going to try and keep it short cause I'm pretty tired. Elliott has an opportunity to go somewhere with a group of friends in the near future. He really, really, really wants to go and I'd love to just say go for it but we're still in the middle of a pandemic. This will…

My Moment of Clarity

I woke up this morning, super early, filled with clarity, and laser focused. The laser focused part might be a bit of an exaggeration but I wish I was laser focused. The clarity part is very true, however. Life is full of twists and turns, detours and delays, setbacks and forward progress, joys and heartaches, successes and failures. I have found that moments of pain can lead to a certain clarity that I wouldn't have gained otherwise. Sure, it's messed up that I can't seem to find that same clarity elsewhere but it's still positive, right? I'm going to keep being me. I'm going to keep bettering myself. I'm going to keep moving my kids forward. I'm going to keep growing my business. I'm going to keep believing in myself.…

Day 2 of being back in the classroom

I just picked up Emmett from school today and his second day back has been a resounding success. He's so excited and I feel so good right now because after focusing so long on his physical safety, I can finally doing something positive for his emotional health as well. Everything went well for him today and he's anxious to return. Tomorrow will be state testing again, as well as the last day of the school week. He'll return on Monday for regular in person learning. Assuming nothing changes dramatically with COVID, he should be able to finish out the school year. I'm so grateful for all the love and support as he ventures back into the classroom. Unfortunately, Elliott doesn't have the same opportunity but he will be back at…

Keep moving forward

Just a quick update to share with the class. Actually, a couple of updates to be more specific. But who's counting right? For starters, I just wanted to point out that if you read any posts on this site that strike you as odd, off topic, or just a little weird, you're probably not wrong. Part of monetizing this site means sponsored content. I'm not super picky about said content as long as it's family friendly. Just so we're on the same page I haven't lost my mind and neither have you. These things can be a little annoying, even for me but they pay the bills and keep the server online. So that's that. Okay, I also wanted to let you know that my recording equipment has returned and…

It’s been a little while, we should catch up

It's been a really great week. I've been doing really well and while there have been some hiccups, the good far outweighs the bad. The biggest issue I've had to deal with was my Rodecaster Pro failing after a really important interview. It's getting replaced but it's causing delays. I had to reschedule a big interview with the Cleveland Clinic. It was supposed to release as we enter into autism awareness month but it's now going to be delayed by at least a week. I've also made another decision and it was a difficult one to make, but I think it's for the best. I'm spread kinda thin and I don't think that's any big secret. Between the blog and the podcast, it can get overwhelming at times. I'm making…

I received the 1st dose of the Moderna #vaccine and this information can help you

Well it's been an eventful couple of days. I'm in a really good place and there's a couple of reasons for that but for this post, I just want to focus on one in particular. I believe in karma, I'd like to anyway. I feel like you get back from the Universe what you put out into it and I have a perfect example to share. On Friday evening, someone reached out to me on Twitter and asked if I would help them spread a message that I truly believe in. Basically it was speaking to the facts about the COVID vaccine and why it's so important that everyone gets it. I don't hide my views on this and I was happy to help any way I could. I was…

I’m starting to write a new chapter in the book of my life

I've haven't written anything super meaningful in a long time. The truth is that a I've written so much over the years that I've sorta burned out. There's something like 12,500 articles on this blog and I've written 99% of them. The rest is guest or sponsored content. I mean, gotta pay the bills right? I've got so many new followers that I've been able to get away with not putting a great deal of new content out because people are reading the older stuff for the first time and it helps them. It's not like there's a shortage of things to read. It's sorta cheating I suppose but I've been spread pretty thin and found writing a bit overwhelming. That's one of the reasons I started the podcast. It…

I’m pretty excited about the coming weeks

The kids have been driving me crazy all day but that's their job, right? Kids are supposed to drive their parents nuts just like we drove our parents nuts. They were laying it on pretty thick today though and I'm not sure how fair that is.. Lol We actually had a pretty decent day. I got some work done, which is always good. I'm already 75% done with this Friday's episode and I even have the sponsor ad done as well. All this on a fricking Monday no less. Couple of cool things coming up. Dr. Webby, from St Jude and the WHO will be on the pod to talk about the current status of COVID. We're gonna talk the importance of the vaccines, as well as dispel some of…
