You do YOUR job, and I’ll do MINE

As any parent knows, mornings can be rough. Kids need to be fed, dressed, hygiene attended to, the various items of the day – lunches, homework, jackets etc. all settled upon. Depending on the number of children, this can look like a zoo. Now, add the fact that it’s morning, and people are moving slower. [...]

OK no, but seriously

I’ve been extremely delinquent in my blogging. Basically because things are at such a level of suckage that I can’t stand to write about it. So here’s a little update on everything. First, the good.
Joseph is doing great at his new school. He seems to like it. He’s very tired as it’s only the 2nd [...]

Living Nightmares

I’m stuck in a living nightmare with one of my children. I’m not able to process it completely yet here. One – it’s not over yet, and I’m hoping to have a conclusion to the story tomorrow. Two – I’m in a limbo of thought and action… I can’t seem to accomplish anything. It’s sort [...]

Abhorrent in my Opinion

I watch a particular channel. And on that channel there is a commercial that is run an awfully lot. While I think it is in bad taste for this network to run this advertisement (and I planning on writing them about it) – This is about the product, not the network.

Health Care Bill on the Internet?

Dear U.S. Government,
I would like to provide my services to you to post the proposed health care bill on the internet.
I’ve thought about it, and I am, indeed, prepared in my home office for such an undertaking. I would need about 3 days and a babysitter. And maybe lots of coffee. You [...]

A Break?

There’s got to be a break in here somewhere, right?
We just found out from Poe’s friend that the grocery store job fell through. The one he’s terribly overqualified for, but he needs a job? Yeah, not hiring. That was sort of our ace in the hole. He could work nights and [...]

Internet, We Have to Talk

The Blogathon is over… I’m rested… And I’m ready to talk.
I slept on this. Twice. I’m not sure how to word what I want to say, but I’ll make an attempt.
Where were you?
I couldn’t attend BlogHer this year due to our lack of financial resources. I was bummed about it because [...]

Dear AOL, I Am Not a Freak

*Note: Some graphic biological information ahead. And another note? I’m ticked and therefore ramble.*
Dear AOL,
I was reading what passes for your headlines today and saw your article, “Dual-Womb Mother Shocks Doctors.” I had to click. Because I have Uterine Didelphys.
Thanks a lot, AOL. You have made me look like a freak. [...]

Don’t Rattle a Mama Bear’s Cage

Rather than go through the whole spiel, I’m going to copy an email with identifiers edited. Suffice it to say that we have been dealing with this issue for MONTHS. In those months, poor Joseph has been going downhill. And it might not have been necessary.

Tragic

I am no photographer. I’m just not. However, I like documenting certain things in my life, for our family, and also for this journal. Hence, a digital camera is particularly useful. You know… Birthday cakes as well as that strange man running down the street in the leopard underwear.
Alas, at [...]
