This morning went pretty well but I think Emmett's getting sick. It's like a head cold/upper respiratory thing.  There's no fever, so there's still a chance it's just allergies.  Fingers crossed..  I didn't sleep well last night because I had too much in my mind and those worries played out in my dreams.  It's like there's no escaping any of this stuff, even while dreaming and that really sucks.  Neither Lizze or I felt like walking this morning but rather than give up and just quit before we even got started, we pushed ourselves to go for a short, brisk walk anyway.   It wasn't the best workout but I'm looking at it from the perspective of at least we're maintaining the habit.  At least we tried before we succumbed…

I don't know why but my mood has gone straight down the crapper. I'm feeling very overwhelmed by life and all it requires of me. Nothing terrible has happened today and yet my mood is terrible.   Not that any parenting is easy because but Autism parenting is truly in a league of its own.   I've found over the last 15 years that when it comes to special needs kids, there's always something to worry about or stress over. Maybe that sounds dramatic but I think most parents in similar circumstance, would agree.   I think that I'm at a point where everything is just getting to me.  I'm feeling tired all the time and if given the chance, I would sleep all day. Maybe not all day but…

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.  ☺️
