Tired, tired, tired

I am so glad for a 3 day weekend.  Since Gavin is missing 16 hours of therapy a week, I find myself more stressed and tired than usual.  He has been missing 10 hours for a month because the therapist was promoted and the company never found a replacement for her.  I think they never hired another one was because Gavin's mom never complained about the lost hours and they didn't feel the need to fill it.  Now another therapist is done, leaving Gavin with only 12 hours of therapy a week when he should be getting 20.  This makes me so mad.  They are robbing him of hours and no one seems to care but me.  When I talk to the mom about it, she fluffs it off and says there's nothing she can do.

These last few weeks Gavin has been very bored and restless and starts getting into mischief.  I find him playing in the dogs bowls, playing in the toilet, opening kitchen cupboards and pulling things out and chewing on them, pouring Jakes formula water all over himself.. The list is endless.  I spend most of my days chasing him around.  I started putting him in a large corner with books and toys and block him in.  But anytime I get up (to use the bathroom or get a snack) he immediately runs away and finds trouble.

It's hard enough watching 3 kids, let alone a special needs one.  My stress level has gone through the roof.  School starts next week for both Gavin and Audrey so it should be better, but as of right now, it's very fustrating.  Sorry to vent............

Almost ready........

Our house is coming along nicely.  The wiring is done, and they are currently finishing the drywall in the bedrooms and living room.

Same room, just at either ends




Closet between both rooms

The kitchen cupboards are built and installed and painted, the dishwasher and stove are in place, the wall in the kitchen is completely removed, the countertop, and backsplash are picked out, but need to be installed. The windows will be in on the first week of September, and the flooring is picked out, but we need to set a day for them to install.

Next week Audrey will be in gymnastics camp from 8-5, so that should be an easier week.  Though she does help me a ton with Jake.  She keeps him entertained by playing with him.  Their favorite thing to do is pushing Jake through the house in the cozy coupe.  Jake loves it and gets mad when she stops.

Monthly update

Oh my gosh...... It has been a busy, crazy, couple of weeks.  We have been working very hard on our house. My parents want us in ASAP, and Dan and I can only do so much by ourselves.  My brother has been working everyday, getting a ton of stuff done.  

We have the wall in the kitchen knocked down, the wiring finished, the well almost done, dishwasher and stove installed and cabinets are being sanded and painted.  We should be ready to move in, 4 weeks out.  




I have been super exhausted.  I've work everyday 8-6:30.  I don't have any energy to accomplish the chores that need to be done.  House is a wreak, dishes piled in the sink, piles upon piles of clothes needing to be washed, the list is endless.  I cannot wait til our house is finished and we can finally relax.

Jake is a busy boy.  He is crawling and climbing on everything.  He also got his top 2 teeth in last weekend.  It is amazing how quickly that child is growing!

I will try to get better at blogging, but not much is happening.  Not much worth blogging about.
