I’m grateful tonight

Lizze is getting some shut eye and the boys and I are hanging out. We made pancakes for dinner and I focused more on serving sizes this time around and we had far less waste.. ☺ Gavin's getting his infusion and I'm writing this, while the boys are working together in the Xbox. It's almost bedtime and I'm feeling really good about this evening because it was pleasant. I was able to get some things done, make dinner and hangout with the boys.. I'm also glad that I was able to do this without needing to wake the wife. She's not been feeling well and needs some extra sleep. I'll probably put the kids down for the night and check on Lizze before settling in for some of whatever I…

I’m absolutely frazzled today

I'm feeling pretty frazzled today. It's been nonstop this morning and I'm was up with Emmett last night again. Unfortunately, I'm allowing this enormous amount of stress to throw off my getting healthier plans so far. I totally own that and I'm really trying to stay motivated but it's a struggle. On the positive side, I'm still tracking what I eat and making better choices in that regard but the workout part is not going so well. With school starting tomorrow, my hope is that I can find the strength to give myself the needed push when I'm not neck deep in everything surrounding the kids. It's so exhausting and it's been a long break.  I've had several things come up that have me preoccupied and stressed out as well.…

It’s been nonstop

For starters, I slept terribly last night but felt better this morning anyway. I was able to get a two hour nap this morning and feel even better after that.  The bulk of my day has been spent running errands.   I had to run to the bank, take Elliott to the store to exchange a broken Christmas present, hit Rite-Aid to deposit money into PayPal and also get my flu shot.  On the way home, I finally found a place with a used tire that we desperately needed and was able to get that done while we were out.   Elliott did really well but began not feeling good while the tire was getting replaced. He's still not feeling well and is also nauseated now. I've got him resting…

I’m not doing so well tonight

This is gonna be super short because I feel like shit. Overall, today was a really pleasant day and a great way to ring in the new year. Everyone went to bed without any problems and that was very helpful tonight because I don't feel well at all. I was fine until we got in the car and headed home tonight. My head is pounding and I just want to go to sleep. Generally speaking, I'm not doing so well tonight. I hope everyone had a great day and I'll hopefully be back up and moving in the morning.

Does anyone have experience with their kids pulling their hair out? 

Apparently, I spoke too soon when I said that Gavin was having a good day because something has once again come to light.  At some point between the time Gavin woke up this morning and now, he's been plucking the hairs on his goatee to the point where I had to make him shave it all off.  I don't think we've seen this in at least a few months but he's very much back at it today. I know he pulls hair from other places also and I don't make it a habit of checking at all.  The only time I know it's a problem is when I see him doing this to his facial hair. When his goatee comes in, it comes in very thick and dark. As a…
