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.

I'm dealing with seriously high amounts of chronic stress.  I've been working to manage things but the past week or so has been really bad.  We had a death in the family, oddly enough our cat was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and Gavin's bloodwork has not been good at all. I only mentioned the cat because we thought we were going to have to put her down, so we had to prepare ourselves and the kids. That wasn't fun.  I've got a million things on my mind and I feel like I'm drowning.  There are a few reason I absolutely…

After bringing Gavin home from his bloodwork this morning, I crashed in the couch. I haven't eaten or slept well, since this all began.
