My twins are preemies, born 24 days early. They are going to be 3 months old and don’t weigh 10 pounds yet. The schedule for vaccinations for preemies is the same as for kids born full term. It’s simple — I don’t want them to get the vaccinations on that schedule. My husband disagrees. Follow [...]

I spend a lot of time sitting on my living room floor, surrounded by toys and serving as a fast-food joint and a jungle gym. Sometimes I’m allowed to surf the internet, sometimes not. I also watch TV. Mind-numbing, useless TV like talent shows… American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance? specifically (and [...]
The majority of the time, I’m proud to say that I think I run a pretty tight ship around this household. There are definitely some core values and morals in our family and it makes me happy to see my son embracing these ideas at the tender age of 3. We’ve made it a priority [...]

I’ll admit it. I am a geek. I enjoy many a thing that when I was in school was only acceptable within small circles. ThinkGeek didn’t exist, and only super-nerds knew what Linux was. God forbid I try to make a Trumpet Windsock or TCP/IP reference, I’d be stared at like I had five heads. [...]
Remember that funny line from Me, Myself and Irene? I love that movie and that basically sums up how I’ve been feeling lately. I’m not talking about looks here or even anything of a physical nature. Long story short; I feel like I’ve lost my balls. Sure I can tell a know-it-all pediatrician where to [...]
Really. I do not do the woman gig well. I look at women whose make-up is put on well, even artistically and I sigh. I see beautiful up-dos or even simple braids and I imagine it was my hair on my head (my mom did my hair even in high school because I struggle with [...]
It appears that once again, due to my nutty renegade opinions, I am in danger of having my “World’s loudest and craziest Autism Mom” card revoked. Actually, I’ve never had any desire to carry that card in the first place, which has made me a bit of a black sheep in the “Autimom” community from [...]
Christie got me thinking about Facebook.
I’m friends with a ton of people from high school. Some who I haven’t seen in…oh 19 years. Gulp!
One of those friends is a guy who isn’t married and has no kids.
