Today is going to start the week off with a bang. There is so much going on today and unfortunately, not all of it's local. Everything has to run flawlessly in the morning in order for this all to happen but I bet we could weather a few little bumps along the way, just nothing major.  I have to get Elliott to school in the morning and head directly to my parents house.  No, I'm not meeting anyone to walk the track. I wish though... 😩    Gavin will be staying with my Mom while I take Emmett and hightail it to Akron Children's Hospital. It's not for anything serious. He needs new glasses and this just his yearly checkup.  I'd happily take Gavin along but I won't have time…

Here's what I found while I was racing to get the boys to school Friday morning. 😫   I changed out the tire, got the kids to school on time-ish and still made it to walk the track. I was 7 minutes late arriving to the track but I still went.  My Dad and I plugged the tire this morning, making Emmett and I good to go for our trip to Akron Children's Hospital in the morning.  😀

His perception can be skewed and he reacts based on what he thinks or feels is going on around him.  He gets so bent out of shape over simple words and is frequently screaming I hate being me. It's so heartbreaking. 💔 Emmett is beginning to do…

The boys are at my parents house tonight. They were supposed to be camping in the back yard but it's raining. Instead they are having a sleep over inside. Either way this amounts to me getting a night to myself for the first time in awhile. Weather permitting, they will be working with my Dad and younger brother, to rebuild our childhood treehouse. This is a very cool idea but I'm not sure how well it's going to go.     My boys have very limited attention spans and almost zero impulse control at times. lol They are very much excited about this and if they get rained out, I know they will be bummed. At the same time, they are also spending time with their cousin and that will more…
