We are meeting tonight with Dr.  Patti once again.  This time we will focus on Gavin and not the other boys. We will probably work out some new guidelines or boundaries to help keep everyone safe. Elliott and Emmett will be going to Lizze's parents while we're gone.  This way, if Gavin freaks out while we're talking to him, as is likely, they won't be exposed.  It's not like I want to be exposed but better me than them.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

I'm going to be very open and honest about my feelings in this post.  I'm extremely frustrated,  angry and overwhelmed right now because Gavin is making things even more complicated. I spoke with the school today and it turns out that what Gavin was saying about falling asleep in martial arts every day wasn't true. The only time Gavin had an issue was yesterday. That issue was simply being tired but not sleeping. Gavin claims that his teacher wasn't paying attention but Gavin was standing in the very front row.  He was literally in front of his instructor and that was done so that he could keep and eye on Gavin. I'm so angry with Gavin because we have been catching him exploiting his health issues and our concern for…

The weather is all kinds of crappy,  here in Canton Ohio. It's cold, rainy and the worst kind of weather for someone like Lizze, who battles Fibromyalgia. If I said she was having a bad day,  that would be the understatement of the year. Lizze is really struggling to even move right now. She has an appointment today but other than that, she's not going to be able to do much.  We've joked around about moving to Arizona because the weather is perfect for someone with Lizze's health problems. However, we can't even get out of our neighborhood, moving across country seems like a pipe dream. To make things even more fun,  Elliott and Emmett have been at each other throats since 5am. Yes, I said 5am. Lizze was kind…

Gavin is having a problem at school,  specifically martial arts. According to Gavin, he got in trouble because he fell asleep during martial arts yesterday.  How the heck do you fall asleep while standing up? That's what we asked him. He says that he falls asleep all the time in martial arts, this is just the first time he was caught.  At this point I literally wanted to bang my head in the wall.  Why would he not think to tell us about this? Nevermind, I already know the answer to that. I don't even know why I would ask.  :-( Anyway,  he says that this happens about half way through martial arts. Apparently, he sorta doubles over and catches himself before he falls. Truthfully, Lizze and I both have…
