We have absolutely no plans for today. It looks like rain is going to be the theme of the day, and that eliminates any outdoor activities.  The above mentioned weather is taking a heavy toll on Lizze. She's miserable and in a great deal of pain.  Emmett and Elliott seem to both be in good moods, while Gavin is sleeping again. I'm trying to get Lizze to go lay down but she's insisting on helping me take on the rest of the morning.  I'm not feeling a great deal of energy coursing through my veins yet, and therefore I may take it easy for a bit. 

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. They both had their Melatonin and Benadryl, but Emmett didn't fall asleep until right before midnight.  I ended up on the couch in the living room with Elliott, and he wasn't out…

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…
