I truly feel that there's a difference between being negative and being honest about a tough situation.  By sharing the good, bad and even the ugly, people get a much more accurate picture of what life is like.  In my life right now, my divorce is a huge issue that impacts many areas of my life and that of my kids. Sharing my feeling s in an honest fashion, helps others to relate and me to feel better.   While my marriage was apparently over on October 14 of 2014, I'm very near its official end, at least in the eyes of the law.  Maybe this will finally allow me to find some closure? I've adapted to being a single parent and while I could definitely be better at it,…

Mr. Emmett had a rough morning. He didn't want to go to school because he said his tummy hurt. It's so heartbreaking for me as a parent because I just want to snuggle him all day and make him feel better but that isn't always the right thing to do.  Majority of the time, Emmett's tummy aches are emotional, meaning he's upset about something.  He did go off to school with a beautiful smile on his handsome little face.  The title states that I hit a brick wall and I did, just a figurative one.    I got my workout in this morning and came home to work. I did accomplish a little of what I needed to but all of a sudden, it was like I had driven into…

It was day one of unmedicated for ADHD, Elliott. If you recall, we had to pull his ADHD medication because it was causing cardiac complications.  We're going to be moving him to a different medication but it's not ready yet.  The good news is that his heart-rate is returning to normal and frankly, that's beyond good news.     The bad news is that Elliott is very obviously not medicated for his ADHD. lol Elliott's been a handful today and I don't use the word handful lightly. 😜 To be completely honest, I'd rather deal with bouncing off the wall Elliott than not bouncing off the wall Elliott, who's having issues with his heart.  Here's to hoping that tomorrow is a better day for him. 👍😀❤️

Today's going to be a little more hectic than I had originally planned.  After I get the boys off to school, I'm going to go walking. I wasn't able to go yesterday and I really, really want to get back into that routine.  Gavin will be going to spend the afternoon with my Mom while I run a few errands and get my iPad replaced at the Apple Store.  The goal is to be back in time to pick the boys up early from school so we can make it to Emmett's physical therapy appointment.   Timing is really important today and as long as nothing catastrophic happens, everything should work out well.  We will finish the day with Dr. Pattie where we will have a few things to deal…

The boys had a really good day at school.  That's not a huge surprise but it is always nice to know.  Emmett was super stoked to wear his new glasses today and Elliott did awesome at Dr. Reynolds, as well as transitioning back to school.     Picking the boys up from school is the highlight of my day, especially when I see them walking towards me with a smile on their face. ❤️😀👍
