It’s just me and the kids for the rest of the week

The rest of the week is going to be an interesting. Lizze is out of town on a Mother/Daughter trip. Lizze and her Mom are heading to Tennessee for a couple days and that leaves me with the kids. She'll be back on Saturday but I'm not sure exactly when. She's had a difficult month and is really struggling after her grandmother passed. This trip will hopefully be a very positive thing for both Lizze and her Mom. ☺ As for myself and the kids, it's going to be interesting.

Gavin got some great news today

Gavin's psych appointment went pretty well. The main focus was on his increasing levels of frustration and his intolerance when it comes to him making mistakes. Dr. Reynolds and I were both very impressed with Gavin's ability to express himself today. It was a bit repetitive and difficult to follow but he maintained his composure. He explained why he thought he was getting so frustrated and all things considered, he did a kickass job of doing so. We have some things we need to work on with him but that's just all part and parcel of being Gavin's parents. We also got some really good news. We might finally be able to push his labwork back to once a month. This would also mean that he would finally be able…
