I woke up on time today and let the boys sleep while I got everything read for them to begin their day. I walked downstairs to find that one of the cats had vomited all over my laptop. It leaked into the vents and some of the ports. I wasn't thrilled to see this but someday I will look back on this and laugh.
I've been trying to find my voice, ever since my wife left last year. In many ways, life has become much easier but at the same time, it's more complicated than it used to be. I don't share everything that's going in inside my head like I used to because not everything is fit for public consumption anymore. There's a large, untalked about part of my life that impacts who I am and how I'm doing. I choose not to share because it's best to keep the boys in the dark on this stuff and should they ever happen upon this blog before a certain age, it would not be good for them. Frankly, it's really difficult to find my voice anymore. It's not that I don't have anything to…
We've had a really great afternoon today. We celebrated my Dad's birthday with the family and had dinner. The boys got to play with their cousin and I got to just relax and do nothing for a little while. We got home a little but ago and everyone's just sorta winding down and having a quiet evening at home before going to bed. It's a short week at school this week so schedules are going to be off a little bit. I'm hoping to get everyone in bed early and maybe catchup on a few shows before calling it a night myself. . ☺
Writing has been tough lately but here's what's going on right now. .
It doesn't take much to throw off the routine of a child with Autism. What throws them off doesn't have to be a bad thing either. It could be something as positive as a birthday party, trip to the movies or even getting to spend the night with their Mother. Emmett is probably the most sensitive to these changes and it usually manifests itself in a disruption of his sleep cycle. Last night was one such night for Mr. Emmett. He was unable to fall asleep last night and after a solid attempt on his part, he ended up downstairs on the couch, snuggling me.
Looks like life caught up to me a little bit because I didn't realize I was this tired 😴
When your morning begins with meltdowns, I tends to sorta set the tone for the rest of the day. It's definitely a rough morning but check out why it got better.
It's been a very confusing last few days and I can't figure out what's wrong with me
