Completely Different Sense of Self

It is my personal belief that humans operate under a certain amount of selfish behavior. Maybe it’s instinctive for survival, but no matter how much we attempt to speak to the contrary, we as people are a pretty selfish bunch. Even the things we do to make the world a better place, the philanthrop

So Much Crap, Such a Small Fan

Oh, hai! Right! A blog! I have one! It has been such a LONG time since I’ve been in the habit of blogging regularly, what with the weight of school and the crippling stress of the kids in preschool, and doctors appointments, and school, and homework, and exams, and projects around the house, and h

I Would Kiss Them on the Mouth, If It Was Appropriate

The kids are almost through with their third, full week at the new school of fabulousness, and they are doing well. That’s actually a great understatement. They’re doing more than well. They’re happy. They are THRIVING. They have acclimated nicely to their new environment, have made some new fr

The Most Cautiously Optimistic Week With Bonus Visit to NYC EVER

This past week was perhaps one of the more eventful ones of the last year or so. Most notably, Max & Sara started attending a local magnet integrated school for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Technically, it’s 50% children with special needs and 50% “typical peers”, a term I have come to loathe

A Whole New Hue of Pissed Off

I should be in bed right now. I should be sleeping, fighting off this cold that I’m coming down with, but instead, I’m stressing and steaming. I’m pissed off like I haven’t been in a long, long time. And, can you imagine what I might be pissed off about? The fucking stupid ass public education [.

Extreme Makeover, Accidental Edition

It started with our kitchen faucet. Over the past few months, our water pressure from the kitchen tap seemed to dwindle at an alarming rate. My handy hubby decided to take a gander at the insides to do a quick clean out and see if he could up the pressure a bit. 20 minutes later [...]

Holland Isn’t So Bad After All

Tonight I attended my first support group meeting for parents of children with disabilities. Tonight, I found out what it means to land in Holland. About 22 years ago, a mother and writer named Emily Perl Kinglsey wrote a little blurb about what it felt like to raise a child with special needs. She

No, I’m Not Amish…Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That

My inaugural video blog post. Be kind. Oh, and my hat? No, it’s not some Amish bonnet. It’s a touque because I couldn’t find a baseball hat and my hair was a mess. Also? DEAL WITH IT.
