Sometimes I dont know where the days go I swear I dont. I write blog posts in my mind for this blog. I gotta get the iPhone app because Id probably post more. But I really want to sit down and WRITE ...
Yes its true. This sweet roasted marshmallow loving face, is working against me, already. You see, Ive heard so much in the news about how autistic children respond positively to iPad and iPhone that...
I went for my first ever mammogram this week, and my first reaction was "Meh - not so bad." The center was a nice place, kind of soft woods and pink and mellow with new agey music playing. If...
I shouldve gotten one when I was 40 but I got pregnant. Then I shouldve had one when I was 41 but I was nursing. I shouldve have one when I was 42 but I was avoiding the doctor because I was still an...
The weekend ritual at bed time is that the oldest boy gets into bed with me. Its his old, very little boy habit. I was a typical first time mother and had him in our bed until he was nearly three I s...
Its weird when you think about it like that. But I got my period when I was 10. Im now 43. That means for 33 years Ive been enjoying the curse of Eves Fall, the visit from Aunt Flow, Aunt Marthas Big...
You probably know that our twins have autism. What you probably dont know, what most people dont know,it isnt what you think of from TV. Its not awkward people who speak brokenly and converse l...
I think its just a symptom of the internets in general, a segment of us -hell even probably me sometimes, wants to appear smarter/wiser/cleverer than we are. I find the epidemic of ridiculous respons...
A random discussion of Twilight Breaking Dawn, which no one in this house has seen, prompted the oldest boy to offer up his interpretation of the storylilne. According to him: Theres this vampire and...
There is this great episode of Family Guy where Lois goes off her rocker because Peter blew off getting more paper towel after shes slaved to make the holidays happen once again. Christmas isnt easy....
Im not sure if we watch too much TV or not but last night the cable blinked out for a moment and while the cable box was rebooting, the TV was all blue screened out and the girl starts yelling. "...
I giggled all the way through the vows. I had to wear a nightshirt on the drive to the chapel because my hair and veil was done - and nothing else I had brought with me didnt go over my head. We ate ...
So we have this large collection of Santas on our mantle. Every year we get a new Santa and its kind of a fun thing, looking for the perfect NEW Santa to sit on the mantle with the others. But our Sa...
Ok Im going to own up straight off the bat to liking a terrible song. I LIKE MOVES LIKE JAGGER from Maroon 5. Ok seriously, its a fluff piece and Im not above being in love with some serious fl...
Imagine I am driving on the highway above. Its dark because its after 6:30pm. Its also drizzly and cold and the traffic is a lot worse because its rush hour leaving the Atlanta Metro. Im listening to...
Several years of my childhood were spent in a house that was as legally close to a railroad track as could be. The house shook and windows rattled every time the engines went blowing past the b...
My oldest son and I have been talking a lot about Thanksgiving this year. Probably because hes nine and because he never, ever stops talking. One of the things weve talked about is how much he likes ...
So we went to the oldest boys school for the traditional Thanksgiving lunch (served properly one week BEFORE Thanksgiving on Thursday). I kind of like this, because, we go and eat in the cafeteria wi...
It was a weird thing for me as a Mom, having my oldest boy play football this year.I wasnt ready for it, the worry and the heartache of seeing my baby suit up in pads and a helmet.But as the season w...
He wanted a baby for years. We had her just in time.
That is a seven year old severely autistic boy, writing words. Last night I taught him to spell his little sisters name, and he smiled and laughed. Then, he looked at her, erased her name and wrote a...
As long as there have been twins in this house, there have been Twins Club holiday parties. I joined when I was pregnant (its where I met the awesome Sarah) and ever since joining, weve drug our enti...
Murdering pumpkins is a long standing family tradition. I like to blame ITS THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN for this. In my family its just not Halloween if we dont murder some pumpkins and watch the...
I realize Ive never claimed to be a cool mom but as my son keeps telling me that hes a space matador in Lego Universe I have to confess, all I can think of is something like this. OLE! Tweet
At my house Halloween begins with the trip to the mountains for pumpkins. Going to the pumpkin patch has always been a family tradition for us. We took the first boy when he was weeks old, strapped o...
Are snot flavored baby kisses. True story.
Some fresh air after all day at the hospital.
Let the decorating begin !
I can explain to everyone in Atlanta why the i85 "express lane" (toll lane) isnt working. It isnt because you have to already HAVE a Peach Pass in order to use it and none of us have that. I ...
She was a little upset to be pulled from the warm dark place where she was resting so comfortably under my ribs. More than a little upset, all 9 pounds of her were in serious protest. She s...
