Highlights from Ps & Q

It was a good Friday. And like the actual Good Friday, it contained a mix of higher level positive things mixed in with a difficult road.I pushed through my work day, which was pretty hectic, and then went to pick up Henry from school. I drove over with his sister so...

It's been a bit of a long week, so I'll be keeping today's post a little short. After a little bout of snow earlier in the week, it's been getting progressively nicer and more springlike each day, and Thursday got lovelier as the day went on.I walked Henry to...

On Wednesday, I had a little more gas in the tank and, while still suffering from the energy limitations that have defined my week, I was able to maintain a somewhat more even pace. While I was working in the morning, I got to overhear a pretty entertaining game of...

Tuesday turned out to be a lot like Monday for me. Solid burst of productive energy early, followed by a zombie-like state of exhaustion and drag much of the rest of the day.I'm sure it was a mix of things. For one, after a lovely springlike few days, we woke up to a...

Ah, the Monday after a nice weeklong vacation. It feels like getting back to it after a nice week off should mean feeling recharged, enerergized and ready to face the world.Or maybe it means having to restart momentum, having lost all inertia in the time out. Maybe it...

After getting some sleep, I woke up with the partially completed jungle gym still taunting me. I got to it pretty early, wanting to get it knocked out so I'd have time to do some other things with the day. I spent more time trying to use brute strength to wrestle the...

Yesterday, I posted a super brief scribble late at night because I was utterly spent by an hours-long battle with a Russian-made children's jungle gym.Backing up a little bit, we have been working a lot with Henry's therapists to find ways to help him regulate and...

I don't usually like to do this, but today turned into one of those days. I've been wresting with the assembly of a Russian jungle gym for like 7 hours (long story, more tomorrow...) it's late, and I don't really have a blog post in me. So I will pretty much say, "IOU...

Wednesday was unfortunately the last day of our little mountain getaway. We enjoyed a nice, lazy morning in the hotel, and the kids soaked up all the wonders that come from the free breakfast buffet available at Residence Inns.Erin and I decided to go a little...
