While at therapy.
I don’t like to type entries on my phone, but I seem to spend a lot of time out of the house lately. So it’s one of my only options. That, and my laptop is, well, not exactly a good option right ...
Hey friends.
Hey, long lost PB friends. As you can tell, I haven't been on here in... a long time. I drop in from time to time, i miss you all <3 Things haven't been great around here, i don't even know ...
stuff
I come here every single day and start an entry. I don't really know where to go with it. I always come with a "topic" that I'm thinking of writing about. Lately my days revolve around how m...
Not Great.
Things are pretty hectic around here. I wouldn't say it's related to the holidays, though. I actually came here yesterday to write an entry I would have titled "Why Autism is Destroying My Marri...
Discouraged. Help.
First things first, I'm back on my PPD meds for 2 days now, so I AM feeling a little more like myself. Thank goodness. Now, what's next. We have Joshua's appointment with his DAN/Naturopath do...
update.
hey everyone. I'm not even sure where I left off or when I last updated. But I have a few minutes, with Liam sleeping and Joshua allowed to be on the ipad for a few minutes, so I may as well tak...
homemade all natural salves for sale.
I listed my salves on IG last night and sold a little over half of what I made! But I do have a little of everything left, so I figure I may as well show them off here, too ;) I can't order more ...
Results.
It's been a really, REALLY busy week for us. I'll start back at Wednesday, our appointment at the Children's Medical Center for the Autism evaluation (ADOS). It was basically the same test that...
Behavorial Therapy/Children's Medical Visit
We ended up having not one but two therapy sessions today -- one with one of our normal therapists, and the second with our new Behavioral Therapist. We chatted about a ton of things, but mostly ...
Sleep Stories.
My basic night of sleep goes like this: Fall asleep anywhere between 7:30 and 9:30 usually. Wake anywhere between midnight and 2am, atleast once, sometimes more, to a screaming Liam. Sometimes ...
I only know how to be busy.
My title is the truth. I don't know HOW to NOT be busy. I cook and bake almost EVERY day. I clean the entire house every day (not DEEP clean, but I do a once over at LEAST once a day). I obviou...
OT
We met with our new Occupational Therapist today. She's nice, but I didn't really feel any sort of "click" with her like I feel with the others. But, it was only our first time meeting. And Joshu...
Halloween, a birthday, and a fundraiser.
Halloween was a success, all things taken into consideration. It was 4:30 in the afternoon and neither kid had a costume. I was crying because both kids were crying. I was BEGGING Joshua to let ...
diet changes.
Liam's laying down (hopefully taking a nap) and Joshua is watching Mickey on tv in the living room. It's almost lunchtime, so i'll have to put together their lunch soon. I'm running some laundry...
What's next.
So, what's next? sigh It's all VERY overwhelming. I met with our usual "special ed teacher" (we see her once a week, and a speech therapist once a week, right now) this morning. We sat down a...
confirmed.
The testing this morning confirms that Joshua does fall on the Autism Disorder Spectrum. And now the long road begins...
Pedi visit recap
Our pediatrician's visit went AMAZING last night. We were there FOREVER, though. We chatted about vaccines and the doctor didn't even blink an eye at us decided to VERY selectively vaccinate. As...
Pediatrician visit tonight.
Liam's sleeping, Joshua's watching Mickey Mouse in the living room. I'm attempting a quick entry just to keep this up to date. I really do want to do more day to day journaling, but right now i...
3am.
It's 3am. I've been up since 1. I'm on the couch with both kids writing this from the iPad. This happens often. I've been surviving on redbulls and coffee. Just an update, no real "news." Friday...
Next Steps.
I am out tonight at coffee with my friend, who won't be here for another 30 minutes or so. I left the house early (leaving Josh with 2 screaming kids) so i could get here early and get an entry i...
Confirm.
I don't even know where to start this. I can't even really make solid thoughts right now. I've suspected for a long time that something is/was "off" with Joshua. Today his speech therapist (...
Update.
It's Sunday evening, and both kids are asleep and Josh is watching football. I just finished laying out this week's homeschool activities. I have work sheets for every single day (some days hav...
Treading Water, Barely Floating...
I started an entry about Liam's party, but i'm just not into it right now. Liam is down for a nap already and it's only 10:15am. Joshua is laying down on the couch, nose running, watching Micke...
first day of homeschool
I'm slowly adjusting to the fact that i could very well be working soon. Talking it over with a few friends. Even some comments here, have me uplifted. I handed in my resume last week to my fri...
Weight loss, food, and some good news.
I just made THE BEST lunch. I baked a loaf of gluten free bread this morning, so I threw some of that on my little mini countertop grill with sliced tomato and dairy free cheese substitute and ...
