Is it ever bad to be positive?

Perhaps this sounds like a really dumb question and maybe it is. However, it's one that I'm going to ask anyway. Can it ever be bad to positive? The reason I ask is because we are involved in a program called Wraparound.  This program helps families to locate and obtain resources that are vital to a families survival.  It's a really good program and would recommend it to others in need.  Having said that, Wraparound is built around being positive.  I can't remember how they actually word that but you get the point.  Basically, the program focuses in the positives and celebrated the victories.  This isn't a bad thing.  However, what about the times when there isn't really a positive? Let me give you an example. At our last Wraparound…

Is there anything more fun than this?

Emmett has discovered TNT inside of Minecraft.  We've spent hours laying TNT down and then blowing it up.  Our goal is to blow up the entire world as much as possible...... Oh the joys of being a child in the 21st century.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

Melatonin, how I miss thee

Last night was a complete disaster.  Elliott couldn't sleep and so around 10pm he came downstairs and laid down on the couch. Lizze had already gone to bed and so I just decided that the best chance of anyone getting any sleep was to crash on the couch with Elliott. It took about an hour or so but he finally fell asleep. I don't know at what point we were joined by Emmett but I woke up smashed into the back of the couch.  Emmett had woken up at some point and realized that Elliott and I were sleeping on the couch and just had to join us. My back is killing me this morning and Lizze has an 8:30am  appointment. It's going to be a long day today.  I…

Today’s #Autism Victory: Playing Nicely

This morning, Emmett went back to my parents house to hang out with Elliott and my Mom, who were baking. When they arrived home in the afternoon,  the boys have been getting along wonderfully.  They got along for the entire day.  :-) This hasn't happened in awhile and it was really nice to see.  Great job boys.  Daddy is so friggin proud of you.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

The silent servicemen

I wanted to share an experience that Lizze and I had yesterday.  The reason I'm sharing this with you is not to call attention  to what we did, but instead call attention to what we experienced. Yesterday, Lizze and I tried to celebrate a belated Valentines Day.  The boys were at my parents and we had the house to ourselves.  I think any parent can understand the appeal to having a quite house every once in awhile. However, where your an #Autism parent, you appreciate it a whole lot.  Lizze and I had decided to grab some take out as neither one of us had the energy left to cook anything to eat. We ended up at a local Chipotle and found ourselves in a rather long line.  In front…

Manic Monday: Awesome start to the week

Emmett slept in this morning,  so I dint have to get up with him until about 7:30am. He's also in a really good mood and that's awesome.  He and I are watching the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He's happy and that makes me happy. How's your Monday morning going?

Just another day in paradise

Lizze and I were supposed to have the night to ourselves.  We never celebrated Valentines Day and so we thought we would kinda make up for that tonight. Nothing fancy was planned.  We were just going to grab a cheap dinner and then spend the rest of the day watching Community on Hulu. Lizze is really into that show and we were going to get caught up on the last 2 seasons. However, I received a text from my Mother that Emmett wanted to come home. He was really sad and afraid that he would have bad dreams if he spent the night with Elliott at Grandma and Grandpa Gorski's. In true Lost and Tired fashion, our evening took an unexpected turn.  Despite our desire for some alone time, we…
