Lizze and I went to go walking. We soon realized that to do so would mean walking in the rain. Neither of us were excited about that idea. We ended up diverting to the store to grab a few things before returning home for lunch. We'll just go tomorrow, right after taking the boys to school. Frankly, I'm a little out of it right anyway, so this worked out okay.
Emmett was a little slow starting the day but he ended up doing pretty well. He's still really stuffy and that's really tough for a sensory kid. That being said, I don't think we had a single issue this morning with anyone. That's a pretty awesome way to begin the day. ☺️
I talk about our ferrets all the time. They have been amazing for the kids and after a year, the boys spend time with them every single day. The ferrets have been amazing at helping the boys better manage their stress and anxieties. They're adorable and really, really smart. I just didn't realize how smart they really are. Skinny Lemme has been escaping from their pen recently and whole we hadn't witnessed her physically escaping, we notice she was out because she comes walking right up to us. She craves attention. Fat Tiny and Zane don't share the same desire to freely roam around the house at will. They're content to wrestle each other or play in their rice box. Today I was on the love-seat writing…
After a really difficult night with three special needs kids not feelings well, everyone woke up this morning feeling much better. I'm not sure what was going on last night but it was really strange to have all three of them complaining about the same things. Anyway, that's behind us now and I'm grateful that my kiddos aren't sick today. The bad news is that I'm seriously dragging. Being up a large part of the night with Emmett has taken its toll on me. My eyes are really heavy and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. I'm really hoping to get a brief nap this afternoon but I'm not sure that's gonna happen. Either way, this is simply part of being a special needs parent. I know there…
As of 2am, two of the three boys are sleeping soundly. Emmett on the other hand, is currently close to joining his brothers in sleepy town. The only different is that he's on the couch in the living room and not in his own bed. Unfortunately, that means that I'm on the adjacent couch, wishing I was sleeping. Poor Emmett has had such a rough time getting to even this point tonight. His tummy ache was pretty bad but thankfully, his eyes are now closing for longer periods of time. Before long, he's going to be very much asleep. I snagged this picture because he's so precious and I wanted to permanently mark this moment in time.
Shortly before bedtime tonight, all three of the boys complained of not feeling well. Elliott and Emmett were so bad that they went to bed in our bed because they felt better there together. Emmett still hasn't been able to sleep but Elliott is out like a light. Meanwhile, Gavin's looks like death warmed over and feels like he's going to puke. That being said, I think he may have actually fallen asleep. Everyone is complaining of stomach aches and sore throats. That's a weird combination but it's the combination we're dealing with nonetheless. I'm not sure what this is but I am sure it's going to be a really long night.
I'm feeling pretty good this morning. I don't remember the last time I was able to sleep in until 10:30am. Grateful is what I'm feeling this morning because I needed to get some rest.. Lizze and I have no plans for today and that's awesome.
Lizze and I had a pretty awesome day. The boys left around 2:30pm and it was all relaxation after that. We had our favorite pizza and then went for a walk at the park. We ended the day with some ice cream and Supernatural... All things considered, this was a really amazing day. We even have most of the day to ourselves tomorrow as well. This means we can actually sleep in until we're ready to wake up. It's been a really awesome day... ☺
