Last week we were going over Elliott's spelling words and even though he knew them inside and out, he freaked out because he didn't want to review them.  We reviewed them once a day and that was it.  Here's his spelling test from last week.  Looks like he did a pretty darn good job.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

While we were at Dr. Patti's office tonight, Emmett walked over to the the chalkboard, calmly drew a star and then wrote the word. I'm pretty impressed by this because I didn't know he could write the word star all by himself.  This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

The boys are home and according to all of them, they each had a great day.  All three of them kept their points today and that's really good.  Gavin did get frustrated in Math class again but apparently wasn't disruptive and got himself under control. On the way home, the boys even helped my fill the water jugs. I couldn't have asked for them to have had a better day. Great job boys.  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

Sitting here waiting for the boys to be dismissed from school. We had a great morning and I'm really hoping that they had a really good day. Fingers crossed and prayers have been sent. I'm pretty confident that we can end the day on a positive note.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

I don't know about you and yours but the Lost and Tired family really struggles with feeding our boys.  It's not that we don't have food, it's that my kids are very sensory oriented and don't tolerate many foods.  There's almost a zero percent chance of the boys eating cafeteria food on any given day.  They would rather go hungry.  The only solution is to pack their lunch.  Having said that, it's far from a perfect solution because finding something that's even remotely healthy and they'll eat, is damn near impossible.  Some of the things we've tried probably makes us look like terrible parents.  In truth, it's not that we're terrible parents, we're desperate parents.  We're parents that are willing to think outside the box, in order to ensure that…

The boys had an awesome morning, especially considering Lizze and I overslept.  No one fought and everyone cooperated.  We even got to school a few minutes early.  I'm super proud of everyone...... :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

It's no secret that my life isn't easy. It's also not a secret that I'm not the strongest person in the world and often find myself struggling to cope with the responsibility I have.  If I'm to be honest with you all, I would have to say that I'm going through a rough patch.  I'm not really sure how to explain where I'm at.  Right now I feel like I'm drowning in so many problems that I can't even get my head above water long enough to catch my breath. There are of course, the problems that everyone has, like bills, car problems and repairs to the house.  However, that's not what really weighs me down. I guess weigh my down sounds really bad. I suppose that I mean something…

According to Gavin, he had a much better day than he did on Friday.  Of course, this is Gavin's version of the story and there's always another side.  Having said that, Gavin retained all of his points and that's a really good thing.  He told me that he did get frustrated in Math class but that he kept himself under control.  Assuming that he's being accurate in his description of today's events, I'd say it's a definite improvement over Friday.  Good job Gavin, keep up the good work. :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of…
