After a really difficult night with three special needs kids not feelings well, everyone woke up this morning feeling much better. I'm not sure what was going on last night but it was really strange to have all three of them complaining about the same things.  Anyway, that's behind us now and I'm grateful that my kiddos aren't sick today.  The bad news is that I'm seriously dragging.   Being up a large part of the night with Emmett has taken its toll on me. My eyes are really heavy and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. I'm really hoping to get a brief nap this afternoon but I'm not sure that's gonna happen.  Either way, this is simply part of being a special needs parent.  I know there…

Shortly before bedtime tonight, all three of the boys complained of not feeling well. Elliott and Emmett were so bad that they went to bed in our bed because they felt better there together.  Emmett still hasn't been able to sleep but Elliott is out like a light.   Meanwhile, Gavin's looks like death warmed over and feels like he's going to puke. That being said, I think he may have actually fallen asleep.  Everyone is complaining of stomach aches and sore throats.  That's a weird combination but it's the combination we're dealing with nonetheless.  I'm not sure what this is but I am sure it's going to be a really long night.  

I'm feeling pretty good this morning. I don't remember the last time I was able to sleep in until 10:30am.  Grateful is what I'm feeling this morning because I needed to get some rest..  Lizze and I have no plans for today and that's awesome.  

Lizze and I had a pretty awesome day.  The boys left around 2:30pm and it was all relaxation after that.   We had our favorite pizza and then went for a walk at the park.  We ended the day with some ice cream and Supernatural...  All things considered, this was a really amazing day.  We even have most of the day to ourselves tomorrow as well.  This means we can actually sleep in until we're ready to wake up.   It's been a really awesome day...  ☺ 

The boys just left and the house is really quiet. They won't be back until sometime tomorrow afternoon.  Lizze and I were originally going to make a trip to have dinner at P.F. Chang's, courtesy of my parents but it's already later in the day and frankly, we're both exhausted.  Instead, we're going to order our favorite pizza, snuggle on the couch and watch a movie.  We've decided to save P.F. Chang's for another time.  Perhaps while the boys are in school..  ☺  Anyway, today is much less about what we do or where we go and a great deal more about simply being together.  That's about it for now.  I've got some work to catchup on and a relaxing afternoon/evening ahead of me.
