Ten Pounds
During one of Egg’s doctor visits to check his poor ears we had an appointment with a new person. I’m going to call her Geraldine. We’ve been going to this office for about a year, and really like the two PA’s we had previously met. They have been on board with delayed vaccinations, Coop’s home [...]
A Formula For Disaster
Although I frequently want to blog about Adam having Asperger’s Syndrome I am stopped by the reactions that I get in real life. When I say that Adam does this or that thing, the person invariably says, “Oh he’s just being a man. That’s what men do.” I respond by saying, “No. This is not [...]
Sad, Grumpy, Motherfucker
Recently almost 8 week old Coop has been a bit of a baby asshole. What this means is that he sleeps, eats, and cries like a normal baby- but in asshole mode. This is not the same as awesome baby mode. Coop is a good sleeper, however it sometimes takes drastic measures to convince him [...]
Oh Fuck!
So I had a baby. He’s awesome. Egg loves him and wants to hold him and hug him and kiss him and he’d name him George if he was literate and knew of such things. Egg has had some adjustment issues. To the casual observer these issues look like a normal two year old losing [...]
Hanging Brains
Yesterday morning Adam went to the urologist and paid cash monies to have his balls whacked. I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about the prospect of never being pregnant again. At the same time, I’m disappointed as all fuck, because I LOVE babies and children (mine, not necessarily yours) and [...]
Birthing and Pokage
The current fuckage started on March 17th. I woke up, took Chicken and his BFF to school, ate oatmeal with Egg and did my normal routine. Egg took a huge nap, and by the time he woke up Chicken was home from school. I had just enough time to feed Egg and stop by Chick-fil-a [...]
Forgiveness
When I decided to write a comprehensive post on circumcision, I did not intend to make anyone feel bad about decisions that had already been made. We all do things that we may regret, it is part of life and a huge part of parenting. I believe that no parent had chosen to circumcise their [...]
ZOMG Brain HURT
I’ve only touched on the topic of circumcision a tiny bit on Sam’s Stories, partially because it makes my head hurt. Of all the issues today that I may have an opinion about (abortion, breastfeeding, cloth vs. disposable diapers, Teh Gays, blah blah blah) it makes me the craziest. But! This isn’t going to be [...]
Adam and The Gluten
My friend Batty Nurse asked about any differences that Adam has noticed in eliminating gluten from his diet. Well, that’s a hard one. As an Aspie, Adam doesn’t have a lot of self-awareness skills. I have learned to tell him, “Adam, you seem to be angry right now,” and he has learned not to go [...]
