Passwords, Protection, Butt Sex
I’m making this post sticky in order to make sure everyone reads it. READ THIS. Okay? If you asked for the password related to adoption posts, you may have it. EVERYONE. Except my First Son and his parents. If you think that you might be my First Son or his parents, I politely request that [...]
Breastfeeding, Not Breathing, Colds, Babies and Addicted Toddlers
For those of you that have not been hanging around Sam’s Stories for years, in 2006 my father died. He had been dying, in bits and pieces for years. First there were years of chronic bronchitis, years of emphysema, years of steroids and endless inhalers. Dragging around oxygen, setting himself on fire that one time [...]
Almost Seventeen

My Obsession
For a long time I have been a wee bit involved with reading infertility (IF) blogs. My dear husband doesn’t understand or approve, but I have my reasons. I think that he viewed it as a way to worry about what could happen when we started trying, but that wasn’t it at all. I have [...]
Happy Birthday, Son
I received the following comment on a post recently: Awesome post sally, it’s been a long-time since I’ve been on here. I see that nobody has lost their passion. Good to be back. The URL associated with the comment is a business (I didn’t click on it) and the name is as well. I’m thinking [...]
