Nothing has gone as planned today and a few other ramblings

This morning got off to a rough start and then I was late getting lunches to the school for the boys because of bad accident that had traffic backed up.  When I got to the school, poor Emmett was sitting with nothing to eat for at least 15 minutes. I called ahead to let them know I was running behind but he was still worried I had forgotten about him and that feels absolutely terrible.   Elliott's lunch was actually early cause they eat at different times..so there's that. ☺  We were supposed to be at the Cleveland Clinic all day today but Lizze woke up in so much pain that she was not feeling well enough to make the trip. That was frustrating for her on a few levels…

I’m trying to recover from a massive meltdown this morning and I’m not doing very well

Starting your day off with a massive meltdown, is really a pretty shitty way to do it. I've lived through one such morning today.  Shoes and socks are such an issue for Emmett.  I was hoping this year would prove to be different but it hasn't, at least not yet.  In fact, I would say his sensitivity to anything on his feet has significantly worsened.   This morning was really bad and frankly, I'm in a horrible fucking mood now because of it.   Emmett screamed in my face for most of the morning because we had to get him dressed.  I'm not dealing with that really well today but at the same time, I'm not mad at Emmett because he has no more control over these sensory issues than…

We will be spending most of our day at the @ClevelandClinic

It's going to be a really, really long day today. Lizze and I will be at the Cleveland Clinic for most of the day.  Her Mom will be picking the boys up from school and hanging out with them until we get back, late afternoon.  Since the Cleveland Clinic is a decent drive for us, Lizze scheduled a couple of appointments, so we could get as much done while we were there as possible.   This saves us both time and money.   Plus, it also limits the help we need with the kids as well.  So while it's going to be a really long day, it's all done at one time and we won't have to make a second trip.

Let’s be honest about today

I'm absolutely spent. The boys went to bed without too much problem. We've had better bedtimes but I survived it and that's what matters.  lol Gavin spent a large part of the day, chewing my ear off and talking about his games or latest missions.  I'm gonna be really honest and say that a large part of me never wants to hear about any of this stuff again but that's not in the cards for me.   I had dinner waiting for Lizze when she got home from class and we settled in to watch a few more episodes of Supernatural on Netflix. We've started watching the series all over again.   Lizze went to bed before I did because she was worn out and I just needed some time…
