    Visiting Dr Goldstein’s office today we found that their conclusions confirmed what we had already been learning about Isaac and Alyssa. At work I was able to clear a couple of important tickets so that I now have less than 10 in my queue again. In the evening I got my new Chromebook and made…

    I don’t know what to say about today. Regular workday, two hours with Dr Empey as both Isaac and Alyssa has appointments tonight, and after bedtime I went driving with Savannah for an hour. I guess everything just went fairly smooth for today.

    Today settled down quite a bit from the craziness of yesterday. I had to deal with issues of scheduling for the week and questions from Alyssa related to her leaving her phone and glasses in the van (she actually had her phone with her). In the evening I had a headache so I took things…

    I woke up at 1:00 AM (Mountain Time) to a text from Alyssa which began my morning of monitoring her chances at getting the flight. About an hour before the flight was to leave I determined that she was very unlikely to get a seat. I immediately began searching for a flight to buy a…

    Rather than subject the primary to another week of being disrupted by my boys, I took them home for primary where we could work on self discipline without looking of whether we were disturbing others. We spent 40 minutes trying to sing a 2 minute song. We also managed a relatively peaceful time even if…

    It amazes me how fast time can pass. When I went to cook breakfast this morning I found it was nearly 10:00 before I finished making the food. Later I was amazed to find that it was approaching 3:00 on my way back from Lowe’s while trying to fix the bathtub handle. Throughout the day…

    Today we were able to get our basic work done (like getting caught up on the laundry) without any real drama. Savannah and I got to go practice driving and despite Laura generally staying isolated we had a pretty good day. We also decided to push Alyssa’s return from Alaska back to Monday. I hope…

    I continued to cop away at work while looking forward to my long weekend. I enjoyed starting that weekend with an evening at the splash pad with Bill and call and our families. A little taking and a lot of playing with the kids was good for all of us.

    It feels like I have gained some small foothold in my emotional stability – especially as related to work. I’ve been able to get a few things done and feel like there’s a bit of a rhythm although I know a part of that is my anticipation that it won’t last for more than a…

    I decided today and announced to Laura that we will go to Rexburg to see the solar eclipse in August as a family. I even ordered eclipse glasses for the whole family. On the way to night games tonight I got a call from work and we had to skip them this week. Kim came…
