What I’ve learned about myself since my wife left one year ago today

I truly want to go into today with a positive attitude because while today is a very painful reminder of what myself and the boys have lost, it's also a milestone to be celebrated.  For the last 365 days,  I've been a single Father to 3 amazing boys with numerous special needs. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to do this on my own but guess what, I did.  ☺ I've learned so much about myself, my limitations and my ability to preserver. Our lives are far from perfect but I'm giving my boys everything I possibly can and despite my shortcoming, I'm damn proud that we've made it this far.  I'm an awesome Dad and the reason I know that is because I…

The boys are having a pretty good day

We just got home from my parents and a brief trip to the grocery store.  The boys had fun and did really well at the store.  I picked up their pizza for this weeks school lunches and had dinner before catching up on a couple cartoon stories. I'm hoping that they go to bed without too much trouble tonight but I enjoyed the time we spent together today.. 😊

Maybe this is why I didn’t sleep well?

The younger boys are bouncing off the walls today.  They're getting along pretty well but they are in full on ADHD mode.. lol I don't know what kept me from sleeping well last night but this might have something to do with it.  These two have been super clingy lately. I'm literally hanging off the side of the bed and Emmett's legs are laying across mine. It was a rough night but the boys let me sleep in a little bit and that really helped.  😩

They are finally asleep :)

They are finally asleep and I'm gonna make myself a sandwich (or two, cause it's been that kind of day) and chill out.  Maybe catch up on a few shows and perhaps find myself in bed at a respectable time.  Who knows,  stranger things have happened.. ☺
