Death of a bouncy house
71 year ago

I regret to inform you that as of 12am this morning the bouncy house is no longer with us. I was running around last night charging batteries and gathering blankets when I noticed. She just didn’t look the same. Even from a distance I knew something was wrong. She was all slumped over in the corner. My instincts kicked in and tried to resuscitate her with mouth to mouth. Despite my best efforts More >

We are4 getting pummeled by a MASSIVE ice storm. I have never seen one this bad. Lizze and I stepped outside a few minutes ago and in the 5 minutes we were standing out there we witnessed trees literally falling apart and crashing to the ground. We keep hearing things that sound like cannons going off. There are trees (big ones) just falling to pieces. It’s actually getting scary because people More >
Crash Room Progress…..
61 year ago
Tax return came in last night and so II was able to start setting up our crash room. We don’t have much (thanks to the money pit that is our “new” van) but we got a 6×6 bouncy house. We also got a ball pit. We already had a trampoline and a tunnel. This will hopefully help Emmett to decompress. It gives him a safe place to do the things that he needs to do in order to “ground” himself. I will More >

I haven’t decided if I will do that here or at Daily Mommy Survival yet. I own this for Android and it is AMAZING……. Details to come VERY SOON……. Anyone Interested?

51 year ago
So after a long, restless nights sleep (especially for Lizze) I have begun to process everything. The first things that pop into my mind is how are we going to survive this physically, emotionally and financially. We’re barely surviving as it is. I know nothing fundamentally has changed but the dynamic has. Before today we had hope (admittedly little, but hope none-the-less) that Emmett would More >
Any Questions?
01 year ago
My friend Stuart Duncan had a great idea the other day. Why not open up the blog to questions…
What better way to spread Awareness then dispel any misconceptions about Autism and answer any questions anyone might have about raising children on the spectrum. So here you go. I will take questions about anything pertaining to the topics discuss on this blog and answering them as honestly as I can. More >

At 4:15pm tomorrow afternoon we will find out the results of Emmett’s ADOS testing. I have come to grips with Autism being the most likely diagnosis. Despite coming to “grips” with it I don’t know how I will react. Actually that’s not true, I do know how I will react. I will break down right there. I’ll fight it for as long as I can so Emmett doesn’t get stressed out but I will lose the fight and More >
