Captain America and the African Safari

The boys are going with Lizze's parents on a safari adventure today.  There an exotic animal farm a bit south of Canton, where you drive through and the animals come up to the car.  They can feed them from the windows. This is a great deal of fun for the boys.  I'll be honest with you.  I'm always sad to see them leave but the moment they pull away from the house today, I'm going right back to sleep. I'm so tired that I don't even have the words to explain just how tired I am. While I know that you can't make up for lost sleep, you better believe that I'm going to be putting that theory to the test today. ;-) In the above picture, the boys are…

Sleepless in Ohio O_o

It must be in the air tonight because 4 out of 5 of us aren't sleeping. Lizze, Emmett, Elliott and myself are all chillin' on the couch. I'm so tired but I can't sleep..... I hate when this happens.

Gavin is a mystery wrapped inside an enigma, stuck inside a Taco and dipped in confusing sauce

I mentioned that Gavin was having tummy issues on Monday.  This not so simple question of whether or not he's feeling better, isn't quite apparent. His tummy issues are still present but he's not complaining. Having said that, Gavin only complains of chest or side pain and paper cuts. He literally almost never complains about anything else. This makes it extremely difficult to know what's going on with him.  The truth is, I couldn't tell you on any given day, how Gavin's feeling. It's not like we don't ask him because we do.  He's just not capable of really answering in a way that's even remotely helpful. My best guess at this point, is that he ate something that didn't agree with him.  He's not running a fever and he's…

Perhaps it was just one of those days

Emmett had a pretty rough day for some reason.  I feel like he did more screaming than talking. He doesn't appear to be in a flare or otherwise sick either.  Perhaps it was just one of those days? Regardless, he did have some positive moments, where he was relaxed and enjoying life.  We were on the couch watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Bella was snuggling with him.  While Emmett and Bella aren't attached at the hip anymore, she can almost always comfort him and help him to calm down.  He loves Bella and somehow she has this power to help him through life's more challenging moments.  I don't understand it but animals are amazing creatures and I'm just grateful.

Have you celebrated any recent victories?

I was wondering if anyone has celebrated any recent victories lately.  The way I see it, a victory is a victory, regardless of how big or small.  I'm not one to candy coat things and spin a negative to be a positive.  My preference is to live in reality.  In my reality, we have good and bad.  Sometimes, the bad outweighs the good.  Sometimes the good outweighs the bad.  It's a give and take.  There is no way that I could be all positive, all the time because that wouldn't be fantasy and not reality. Today I thought I would ask about your recent victories, so we can celebrate with you.  In the morning, I'm going to ask about any recent setbacks as well, so that we can rally around…

A walking I will go

I'm going to be able to sneak out tonight and get in couple of miles at the track.  This is exciting for me because I don't get to do this as often as I would like to.  My goal for tonight is 3 miles.  It does look like rain so I may have to take a rain check.  :-P This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me
