More About the Move

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I had planned that I would write a little bit about the move each day, but time has not allowed.  We’ve had a birthday party to throw (happy 5th birthday, Jude), unpacking to do, and my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are visiting.  Time is at a premium.
Monday, August 4th, I buckled the boys into the car [...]

Panther Ingenuity

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Toby the panther is missing.  He vanished a few weeks ago and we kept thinking that he’d turn up in some unexpected corner while we packed for the move.
So far that hasn’t happened and Jude is starting to really stress about whether or not Toby is going to make the transition to Wyoming.  They [...]

I had important things to say but forgot what they Are

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

I looked at my blog today and realized that my last post was on my birthday. That break wasn’t intended to happen. I’ve sat down to my computer several times over the past week, at least every night, but still haven’t managed to produce anything for this blog. You see, life goes [...]

I’m an Evil Wife

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I shouldn’t laugh about this but every time I think of it I find myself chuckling again.  Since today is my birthday I figure that I’m able to get away with things right now that I wouldn’t get away with otherwise. 
Last night I had helped Roegen take off his shirt and pants because it [...]

What is a Dad?

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Today is Father’s Day, the 8th such day that Scott has celebrated. He’s a good one, despite his lack of interest in changing poopy diapers. The bond that he and the boys share is strong. I watch him with our sons and my heart melts.
I also spend today thinking about my Dad. I’ve rarely talked [...]

Pizza and the Germans

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Today is my mother-in-law’s birthday.  I won’t say how old she is because although she doesn’t know about this blog I’m sure that if I tell anyone who passes through her age karma will come back to bite me in the nose.  And I don’t know about you, but I have quite enough karma going [...]

Do you know what a Booster Head is?

Breydon and Jude are both at the upper weight limit for their current carseats.  So while we were out running errands yesterday I had Scott stop so that I could run in see if what I wanted was at Target, leaving he and the kids in the car.  Afterward, Scott and [...]

Autism Advocacy: A Call to Activism

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Recently I blogged about a situation taking place in Florida, where a kindergarten teacher had her class “vote” a child who is being tested for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) out of the class.
To date, the teacher – Ms. Wendy Portillo – appears to still believe that she did nothing wrong, although she has been reassigned [...]

A sane mommy is hard to find

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I know, I know. I promised that I was going to start writing more. And honestly, the desire to write, the will to write, the ideas to write – they’re all there. The problem is finding the TIME to write. Houston, we have a toddler.
Roegen is almost 2. He has [...]

I’ve been remiss

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

When I started this blog, one of the things that I promised myself was that I would write regularly.  I knew that everyday might be a bit ambitious, but thought that three times a week was a decent goal.  Some weeks I’ve written a lot more, and when that has happened it’s been wonderful.
Recently, I’ve [...]
