Been dealing with a lot today and haven't written at all as a result. I guess a bit of catch up is in order. I'll make it quick cause I have some other positive news to share.. The boys had the day off today. Not entirely sure why and frankly don't really care either. I love when the kids are all home. Especially, when it's not because they're sick or too upset to go to school. Everyone was in a decent place today and that is always a positive thing in my book. We don't look for or expect perfection in this house, only progress. Moving forward, regardless of speed is what we focus on instead. ☺ The kids are gone for the night visiting their mom and their grandparents.…

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because it's been a very trying day. Therapy was just as difficult as I thought it was going to be. It's was emotional and it took a toll on everyone. I then had to take the kids to the grocery store, which proved to be a really bad idea but I didn't have much choice. We picked up a couple of frozen pizza's and I tried to redirect the boys. I was moderately successful because no one killed anyone and we survived the evening. Elliott's still awake but Emmett finally fell asleep. He's super clingy tonight and that will for a rough night. I suppose some sleep is better than no sleep. I'll fill you in on the rest tomorrow.

We've made it through the day and only have therapy for the kids left. It's been a long day thus far but both boys made it through the school day and Gavin has been super cooperative (no surprise there). Therapy is going to be a bit unpleasant because there are some things that need to be addressed and I'm going to need to be a bit more assertive. The kids need certain things and I'm trying to keep the peace. In doing so, I feel like I'm letting them down and I need to correct that. This is a very complicated situation and I'm doing my best to navigate it. The only thing that matters is the kids wellbeing.
