These are just words – Imagine having to live it

Today's been okay in some ways and a complete disaster in others.  Lizze got off to class this morning without a problem. That's good because after the mixup yesterday, she was worried.  Emmett was running a high fever again and let's just say, he's not in a good place. Everything is amplified for him right now, and he has a less than zero frustration threshold. That's proven to be challenging.  Elliott went to school however, he wasn't comfortable being the only Gorski in the school, but that's something he just has to get over. Shortly after noon, I received a call from the school because Elliott had a blister on his foot that had recently burst and it hurt really bad.  At the very same time, I'm texting with Lizze…

Another day another fever

Emmett is of course running another fever, and is currently watching Ben 10 on TV. Elliott didn't want to go to school today, and was nervous because he would be at school alone. He did end up going.  Lizze began DBT therapy today and was on her way before the boys were even up this morning.  I'm exhausted and hoping Emmett will lay done for a little bit so I can grab a nap.

Heartbreak: When Good News is actual Bad News

Wow! Today has been one of those days where I gave it my all, and spent myself into a hole. I'm feeling really stressed out, overwhelmed, and worried.  There's a lot to discuss but for right now, I'm going to focus in Emmett. We learned something today that has me very, very concerned. This is one of those times, where what should be good news, is actually bad news.  Elliott went to school and was perfectly healthy. He wasn't happy, but he was healthy. Lizze was supposed to start class today, but a mixup with scheduling, postponed that start by one day.  While Emmett wasn't running a fever this morning, I was able to get him in to see his pediatrician. Lizze stayed home with Gavin, so as not to…

Why today isn’t going right

Nothing is going as planned this morning. That shouldn't surprise me because very few things go as planned in my life.  Elliott was fine this and made it to school. That's awesome. Emmett sees his pediatrician this morning, and we'll hopefully figure out what he has going on.  Unfortunately, Lizze missed her first day of DBT therapy because her transportation never showed up. That problem is fixed now and going forward, we should be okay.  She's really stressed out of this whole thing, but it is what it is at this point.  The icing on the cake is that the direct deposit we'd been expecting, didn't show up. When we called to enquire about it, we're told it should hit tomorrow, but for less than half the amount it's supposed…

Today’s going to be tough and here’s why

This weekend has been pretty horrible. It's been horrible because Emmett is sick, Elliott says he's not feeling well, and Gavin has been driving my sleep-deprived ass, absolutely crazy. We just finished day number two of Emmett having a sore throat and fever. The current plan is for me to possibly take Elliott to school, before heading to Aultman North, assuming we can't get into the pediatrician. If Elliott's actually running a fever, I'll just take him with me, and kills two birds with one stone. I'm not a huge fan of taking Gavin to wherever we end up going, because we avoid exposing him to the life-size petri dish, that is urgent care. I don't have a choice this time because Lizze begins DBT classes out of town in…
