Happy first day of Fall! What have we been up to? Lots.. we have new season, new school, new routine, new foods, new beverages, new experiences… Well we are schooling remotely… sounds fun, sounds great… well sounding someway, is completely different than being that way. Zeq has started his 10th grade remotely. We are hopeful to go back “blended” sooner than later. He would like … Continue reading Remotely…doing everything

You name it we have probably done it the past few weeks. Blood work- yep did that, during a pandemic, with no restaurants open, masks on, doctors offices closed to outside people. Yep we did it. It wasn’t pretty. I had an almost 16 year old sit on my lap while I covered his eyes all the while he was wearing a mask! But we … Continue reading You name it…

Or not.. Let’s say remember that chicken he wanted in the last blog post?!.. well last week I was like ok.. I’ll make it. All seemed ok at first. Gave him small amount of mashed potatoes and more chicken. Seemed ok. Then went downhill from there. He hates chicken.. he didnt ask for it.. i wanted him to choke on dry chicken.. Needless to say … Continue reading Winner winner chicken dinner…

Just as it says.. We are back to frozen turkey meals… when I say it I mean it. Family size just turkey slices. He eats the entire thing by himself. Then there’s pepperoni… we no longer eat ham… or biscuits…or saltines but now bowl of pepperoni and doritos for lunch. I know reading this you probably think I am worse parent ever because that’s what … Continue reading Enter turkey and pepperoni

Yep! Just what it says. Awhile back I wrote a post about him saving his money and he was going to buy a hand held vacuum. He saved the money and bought a red one. Well let me tell you, at all hours of the day you can hear this kid hand held vacuuming his room. Believe it to be John the clean ocd one. … Continue reading Vacuums

I like biscuits.. you like biscuits? This week Zeq loves biscuits… he eats them with lunch, dinner, as a snack.. only with grape jelly.. Oh the ever changing menu. Different personalities have different tastes, which results in different foods. The past few days.. fried chicken and busicuts with grape jelly. Who doesn’t love either one of those? Well it comes with special instructions. Chicken skin … Continue reading Biscuits!!

These are definitely trying uncertain times. Not only for people like Zeq but everyone in general. As we sit here today we don’t know what the next few months will hold, let alone the next few days. We will have to decide in a few weeks what we want to do about schooling. does Zeq go back? Do we homeschool? Do we remotely learn? Do … Continue reading Uncertain times…

Back once again… Have we not had anything interesting to write or say… well that is not the case here for sure. Sometimes you get caught up in life.. sometimes it isn’t about getting caught up.. sometimes it just is..  everyones routine has been disrupted and no one likes it for sure. Maybe just maybe we now know how someone like Zeq feels everyday when … Continue reading New normal

Its been a minute since the last post. We have been adjusting to our new so called life. But what no one understands is that for people like Zeq this isn’t just an adjustment… it is and will be his new normal so it is going to hard to adjust back. Having Dr apps via telephone.. or even the not know what to do when … Continue reading Seasons of life

I’m sure in past week you have seen those words as many times as I have. I haven’t said anything this far about any of it. Today our state shut down our schools. Outrages have begun. Parents mad, kids happy, stores jam packed. Stories have begun swirling off one week, two weeks, indefinitely and this is coming from a middle school. You have people mad … Continue reading Corona, fear, no school
