Today was a very artsy kinda day.  Everyone was drawing, creating and having fun. Emmett really surprised me with his work today.  He drew Phineas and Ferb along with Perry the Platypus, from memory.  For a kid that just turned 5 years old, I think this is pretty friggin good. Of course, I could be bias but I still think these are pretty awesome.  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

Sleep and I have a rather love/hate relationship.  I love to sleep and sleep hates letting me. Lizze and I are down two kids tonight and I should be taking full advantage of this time to rest.  Unfortunately, my brain is working and simply won't stop thinking about everything I have to worry about.  How messed up is that? I get a break but I can't get the rest I need to be better able to parent my kids when they get home, inevitably overstimulated. I've thought about just running into the wall, over and over again, until I'm unconscious. However, that would likely cause more problems than its worth. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of stupidity and that would be pretty stupid.  Alright, I'm going to try one…

I wanted to share something that Gavin's been working on today.  It's some kind of Star Wars inspired space ship. He's really proud of it and I'm happy to share it with the world.  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

Lizze's parents took the two E's for the night and most of tomorrow.  The boys are so excited.  Gavin is enjoying being the center of attention while they're gone.  Not sure what, if anything we are going to be doing tonight but it will likely be a quiet evening, filled with lots of sleep.  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

If someone asked me to describe Gavin today, using only one word, it would be strange. Gavin is acting strange. I don't know of how else to describe him.  He just seems off. I've had to address some odd behavioral issues with him today as well.  He's sorta either loitering or he'll be literally following people around.  If you aren't aware he's there and you stop walking, he runs right into you.  Other times he just stands there watching you... I've sent him upstairs to rest and read on his tablet for a bit because everyone needs a little break from the strangeness today.  Just so I'm clear.  He's not actually doing anything wrong.  The problem is that he's making people uncomfortable and Elliott's used the word creepy to describe…

  This post is dedicated to all of your kids. This is the top 35 Phineas and Ferb songs. I didn't create this video, I'm just sharing it via YouTube. So grab your kids and enjoy the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvAZJPFxuNk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg623jZY3AU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA1hACdYdxU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA7ZJEEXwNI&feature=youtu.be

I woke up this morning and found that Lizze was no longer where she was, when I fell asleep. When I got up to look for her and found her downstairs on the couch. Apparently, she was driven from bed by relentless hot flashes last night.  I feel terrible because I was not even aware that she was struggling to sleep.  If she woke me up, I simply don't remember. Menopause is a an absolute bitch.

I'm so tired of the stereotypes associated with Autism. I hate when people say they know Autism because they've seen Rain Man.
