Elliott is off to school, courtesy of my Mom. That's pretty much the extent of the good news this morning. Emmett is still running a high fever and Gavin's been dealing with an upset stomach this morning as well. As for me, I'm absolutely exhausted. While Emmett's resting, I'm going to try and grab a nap. I don't think I can function otherwise.
I meant to share this prior to now but with the boys being sick, it got pushed to the back burner. If you recall, I spoke about needing additional help with my depression and that finding a decent psychiatrist in my area is proving to be next to impossible.

I'll be voting for a calm, quiet day but the boys can play again and that's a something that will be a big help for me. There's some writing and reviews I have to get caught up on. Plus, it would be really nice to have everyone in a better mood and ring in the coming week…
