Shipping the kids off tonight

The boys has a meds check this morning at their pediatrician. They were a bit of a handful but considering we were there for a total of two hours, I think they actually did quite awesome. ☺ Everything checks out with the boys and meds were refilled. Both Elliott and Emmett's idiopathic fevers were once again documented. There's nothing we can do about them but documentation is very important. As for the rest of the day, I have a few errands to run before the boys leave to spend the night at my parents house. If all goes as planned, we will have the first night off, since our trip to Florida. I think that's right. Either way, it's been forever and we desperately need it. For awhile now, at…

It was a hellacious day but filled with small blessings

Yesterday was a complete disaster but still managed to have some high points and things I'm grateful for. The day began like any other, with appointments to be at. This time it was the oral surgeon for Lizze. She needed to have two teeth pulled and this was simply supposed to be a consult, before scheduling the surgery. Lizze wanted to be sedated for the procedure and that needed to be scheduled. The address on the paperwork reflected an address about forty minutes away. We dropped the boys off at their Grandparents and hauled ass through rush hour traffic, making it there quite early. When our appointment time rolled around and the office was still closed, we figured something was wrong. Turns out there are two locations, one is about…

This is the current view from my front window

This is the current view from my front window Thought I would share my literal point of view right now. This is what I see as I look out my front window. Nothing spectacular but it's sometimes interesting to see life from someone else's perspective. ☺

The sweet story behind this thermos

This may look like an ordinary thermos, sitting on my nightstand but it's not, at least not tonight. After I got home from taking Elliott to his last day of physical therapy, I wasn't feeling well. Lunch wasn't agreeing with me and I needed to lay down in order to make it through the nausea. I woke up after a little while because Emmett had quietly snuck into my room, rubbed my back for a minute and placed this thermos on my nightstand. He explained to me that he knew my stomach was upset and so he made me some ginger tea because it knows that can help with nausea. That was so incredibly thoughtful and sweet of him. Lizze and I have clearly done something right along the way..…

We have serious rules when spending time outside in our neighborhood

The boys and I spent some time outside this afternoon, cleaning up the yard. The neighborhood has been relatively quiet recently and so we felt comfortable enough to do this. We do have to have some serious rules in place, when it comes to being outside in our neighborhood. If I say that get in the house, they do so immediately and without question. We have also told them to never talk to anyone who approaches the yard unless it's one of our neighbors or the police. This was important today because we had a know addict approach us twice for money. After awhile, we get to know the faces of the people looking for money to score drugs. Sometimes we see them get arrested and other times, they flat…
