SMA Awareness Month!

Welp, I forgot to blog last night. It happens I suppose, hahaha.

It's the first day of SMA Awareness Month!

Today was a pretty uneventful day. Finally got Liam to go to the bathroom the way he needed to, so that's helped his demeanor a lot. 

Andrew tried biting himself at school today, but aside from that had a really great day. Not only does it surprise me because we haven't seen that behavior from him in such a long time, but he woke up in such a fabulous mood! He was being such a goofball. He didn't want to wake up, so I laid it on thick "trying to find him." It was only when I pretended to go to sleep half laying on his (entirely covered, head and all) body, that he starting laughing his butt off and sat up. That was a really great way to start the day.🙂

I just got done fighting with a jump drive to try to get pictures onto Liam's dynavox for Speech tomorrow. The jump drive I used had our wedding photos on it. Seeing pictures of me with my dad made me really miss him a lot. I wish things were different. Hopefully someday.

That's all for tonight. Going to get back to my new(ish) book while the getting is good.

Keep the Earth Below My Feet

Today started off really great. Gram came to visit and Michael came to do respite with Andrew. Both of the boys had a fabulous day with great moods all around. Gram and I usually check in with each other before bed, but she called me a lot earlier than usual today. She called to tell me that my mother called her. As her and I were talking on her cellphone, my mother called her on her landline again. I heard her say some pretty awful things to my Gram, but she held her composure really well. I truly don't understand how someone so heinous came out of someone so incredible. My Gram is an angel on this planet. I just don't get it. I'm beyond grateful she and I have been able to repair and create the relationship we have now after all of the years we spent apart.  I've had a pit of anxiety in my stomach since I heard my mother's voice. I just wish she'd leave every one of us alone. It's like she can't handle peace and no chaos. I hate that she still has the ...

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

I forgot to blog yesterday! Whoops. I was so exhausted after dancing my heart out the night before, hahaha. Today was a good day! We were supposed to have a planned power outage for line maintenance, but that never happened. I think that means it'll happen tomorrow.  My favorite part of today was right before I had to start the bedtime routine. Scott got stuck late at work, so I was solo with the boys. Andrew was playing with his big blue ball, and started throwing it to me. While Liam was watching us, he was laughing his tail right off. I thought since he was enjoying watching so much, he'd like to join in. I handed him the ball to "catch," and kept egging him on to throw it. Eventually he pushed it off of his lap back to me, and he was so proud of himself! Rightfully so. That turned into all three of us spending 45 minutes straight throwing the ball to each other. (Neither of them EVER spend 45 minutes straight doing anything at all, bahahaha) They even threw it bac...

Super crazy day today! I had a meeting with Liam's care coordinator on top of his regular therapies.  Plus I went to go help Gram set up her new router and modem. Everything went super smoothly, until we realized her landline didn't connect properly. That was a headache and a half! Glad we were able to get it all sorted for her. Andrew had his third great (direct quote!!!) day at school in a row! I'm so excited for him. I hope the break between summer services and the beginning of the school year doesn't fuss with his groove too much. They sent home this crown that he made today, and my heart can't handle how adorable it is. I'm also getting so excited for Sunday! My sister is coming into town. Her and one of my greatest friends are going to see Gavin DeGraw at the Spiedie Fest! I haven't seen him in concert since I was in braces, but my love for him has never wavered, bahahahaha. I can't wait!
