So it's a brand spanking new day and it's time to get the boys off to school. Elliott's in rare form this morning and seems to have made it his mission in life to push Emmett's buttons. I've already had to break up a few altercations between the two of them. That being said, they have been relatively cooperative and I'm super grateful for that. ☺
It's been a really long day and I haven't felt like writing tonight because I'm trying to process everything. I was going to do a Periscope broadcast and I probably will tomorrow at some point because sometimes it's easier to simply speak. I'm going to try to write this but my brain is sorta on overload at the moment, so please understand that I'll write something more coherent later. Anyway, I didn’t want to talk much about this until I had spoken to my family first. I spoke to Lizze and most of my family. I'll try to talk to Lizze's Mom again at some point to explain what's going on as well. I just didn't want people reading about this before I could tell them myself. The image above…
So I have the pleasure of sharing some of Emmett's artwork from today. ☺ The balloon is something he did in art class. Pac-Man was a coloring page he printed out before going to school this morning. 😀
Gavin and I have had a pretty good day. I'm really trying to shake off the bad news about his diagnosis and focus on some of the more positive aspects of today. After all the chaos from this mornings appointments, Gavin and I did some grocery shopping and filled our water jugs. He was a really big help and afterwards, we had lunch. At the moment, we're just sorta chilling out in the car waiting to pick up the boys from school. It's a beautiful day and while it's a tiny bit chilly, the sun is shining and I can pretend everything is okay. 😊
My 10 year journey with Gavin comes to a heartbreaking conclusion today
I woke up on time today and let the boys sleep while I got everything read for them to begin their day. I walked downstairs to find that one of the cats had vomited all over my laptop. It leaked into the vents and some of the ports. I wasn't thrilled to see this but someday I will look back on this and laugh.
For the last month or so, Emmett's really been struggling in the sleep department. To be more specific, he's struggling to actually fall asleep. He's back to where he was right after him Mom left. Not sure what happened with him but we lost a shit ton of progress in the sleep department in the last month or so. He won't fall asleep unless he's glued to me. We worked through this once already, I'm thinking we can absolutely do it again. ☺
I don't know if you remember but my calendar got messed up and has sorta left me flying blind as I'm piecing it back together. Apparently, this morning is going to be one of those double booked kinda days. I am supposed to have Maggie at the vets office around 9:30 AM to get her stitches removed. Unfortunately, I also have to have both Gavin and Elliott at Dr. Reynolds office at the very same time. Both boys are supposed to see different people at the exact same time. I'm not sure how I'm going to pull this off just yet but I something has to be rescheduled..
