Emmett John / My thoughts / Sensory / Shoes and Socks

I’m absolutely dreading what I’m about to do…..

I'm taking on a monumental task this afternoon and I'm not looking forward to this because it rarely goes well and I'm pressed for time

A day of total craziness begins

Today is one of those nonstop days filled with way too much to do and not enough time in which to do it in.....

Does it really get any better than this?

Sometimes the gods are smiling down on me and I get what is perhaps the most amazing UNO hand ever, to freely use in my mission to beat Emmett at these games... ☺

It’s so important that we not give up

I've experienced times in the past 24 hours where all I wanted to do was throw my hands up, say fuck it and just walk away.........but I didn't..

When your pharmacy actually loses your prescription and any record that you even filled it with them

How exactly does something like this even happen?

SO GRATEFUL: CKP Heating and Cooling fixed my furnace before the boys got home from school today

It's always a positive thing to have someone trustworthy to help out with repairs that can't be done without professional help. My bad day just got better.... ☺

THIS ISN’T GOOD: I’ve just been reminded why I hate Monday’s so passionately

Making a statement about how awesome things are going, so early in the day and on a Monday of all days, is simply asking for trouble.

It’s easy to push our own needs to the back burner when we’re raising kids with autism, ADHD, or other disabilities. But self-care isn’t selfish. It’s survival. Anxiety is very common in the autism community. Research shows that up to 40% of autistic kids and teens also have an anxiety disorder, compared to about 15% in non-autistic youth. If you’re raising a kid with autism, listen up because this is really important. I know how hard this life can be. I know how challenging this life can be. I’ve been doing this for 25 years. I have three autistic kids and a huge chunk of this has been as a single dad. One of the most important things that I’ve learned along the way is that where we are today does not represent where we are going to be tomorrow. Our kids future is not prewritten and just because we’re struggling with something today does not mean we’re struggling with it down the road.
