The boys had a pretty awesome morning. Minimal drama and high levels of cooperation, made for a far less stressful morning than yesterday. Nevertheless, it's a chaotic morning because there's so much that needs done. The kids got to school on time and at present, I'm waiting for Gavin to finish his bloodwork. We only have a small window for that to get accomplished because I also have to have Lizze on the other side of town for a doctor's appointment. At some point, I have to hit the grocery store, swing back to pick Lizze up and head home to get some work done. The kids need picked up from school and we have family therapy. I'm one of those people who very much dislikes chaos be a use…

The boys came home from their grandparent's house and immediately began bickering. That bickering soon turned to fighting and led to Emmett freaking out for over an hour. I don't know why this evening has been so particularly difficult but they had a great visit with their Grandparents. It could simply have been a long day or maybe it's the holiday creeping closer and closer. Perhaps it's nothing out of the ordinary and they're just fighting because that seems to be what they do best anymore. It's funny how six hours or so of rest, can be undone in minutes.

The boys are gone and rather than be super productive, Lizze and I have decided in a slightly different course. We don't get time to ourselves very often and when we do, we are usually so tired that we don't feel like doing much of anything. Lizze and I have been binge watching The Punisher. It's awesome but not family friendly in the slightest. We only have four episodes left and we should be able to squeeze them in before the kids return. If I squint really hard, it feels like completing the season will be an accomplishment.. ☺

I wanted to drop you all a quick line and briefly explain my absence for the last day or so. First of all, we're all doing okay. The kids finished out the school week on a good note and there hasn't been any major drama since the last time I wrote. The reason I haven't written in the last day or two is simple, I'm exhausted. I've been burning the candle at both ends and it's catching up to me. I've actually been sleeping better because I've finally found a allergy medication that works and I'm able to breathe through my nose at night. There's just so much going on and it's pulling me in a hundred different directions. Some of these directions are really good and others are just…
