That would be like a … Continue reading Mojo vs. The Evil Dragon Lady

What Can A Kid Get Into in Under 30 Minutes?
Well isn't that a loaded question? You mean I can only list 10, because frankly I could list 100, but since some of them are so agregious I probably had to deal with it before pulling out the camera, I will think of this as a "Best Of What Kids Can Get Into in Under … Continue reading What Can A Kid Get Into in Under 30 Minutes?
This is the Story of Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
My sister and I don't use the word "Aunt" in our family, we prefer "Queenie." When our kids were born, (well my kid, 'cause my sister was "waiting"), we were trying to decide what our son should call her. "Aunt" just seemed so meaningless to us - it seemed every friend wound up being … Continue reading This is the Story of Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
Professor Isaiah and the Dynamite
Have I told you that my son is a pyromaniac? Oh, no? My son is a pyromaniac. Actually, lately, I realize I might be wrong. Apparently part of the definition of pyromania "is repeated association with fire but without a real motive". Well my son has motive, his motive is to set a fire. He … Continue reading Professor Isaiah and the Dynamite

You just left a comment … Continue reading Yes, I had to put my fish down….
Sensory Processing Disorder Can Be Funny Too
Once upon a time I wrote this blog. I wrote this blog under the guise of wanting to help parents of children with special needs. Most specifically sensory processing disorder, but also tic disorders, severe food allergies, environmental allergies and asthma. I also included spectrum disorders, because "They" were trying to place my child there. I … Continue reading Sensory Processing Disorder Can Be Funny Too
Seriously Sun, WHAT IS THE DEAL??
So you know the weather has been really sucky here, it's just been one Tuesday snowstorm after another, I had my family in from out-of-town, I haven't really done a lot of grocery shopping. The kid had to eat, I asked him what vegetable he wanted with his chicken nuggets, and he said "Is Mike … Continue reading Seriously Sun, WHAT IS THE DEAL??
Fragmented Friday’s
As if my brain weren't fragmented enough. I get all this junk stuck in there and I don't know what to do with it. So Mrs. 4-4-4-4's over at Half-Past Kissin' Time has this great link-up.
