Why kids are better people

Well couple of things have happened since the last post.  The first being that my son started a preschool program at the local elementary school which has freed up my mornings a bit.  The program is one that integrates special needs and typical kids together in one classroom, which scared me for some crazy reason at first.  I think we forget that kids are such better people then us adults sometimes.  They don't have any of the preconcieved notions about what is normal and so-called abnormal.  Well he started school and LOVES it!  Score one for Noah!  He needed a break from me anyways :).

Yet another thing that has been going on is my daughter seems to have a crooked but crack!  I know I know TMI and also not that big of a deal right...well come to find out it is a big deal.  My husband was the first one to mention the quirkiness of her derrier and also point out the little dimple right at the top of her bum.  Well after all the craziness that we went through with her nuchal translucency during my pregnancy I immediatly jumped into panick mode and googled well crooked butt crack.  To my surprise this is a real thing!  It means that she might have a tethered spinal cord!  I am to afraid to call the pedi because I would rather live under the illusion that she is fine and nothing is wrong.  I think I am going to wait till her next well baby to bring it up and see what the Pedi says.  I am hoping that I am just being a crazy overprotective mom but after her prenatal craziness It is like I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Well here is a pic of my beautiful girl and her 2 little teeth.
Hopefully I will be able to get back here more often now that Noah is off to school in the morning.  Now out to shovel yet more of this god awful snow that continues to blanket the northeast!

Imperfection at its peak!

I have been horrible this week.  Just plain irritable, emotional, short tempered, horrendous!  You name it I have been it.  Sadly, I think I am still in the throws of it now.  Both of the kids have been sick which is just the pits.  Runny nose, coughing, puking, 400 loose stool diapers a day makes for a type of exhaustion that could only be matched by running the Boston Marathon.  To top it off my daughter is not one of those cuddly quiet sick kids, she fights the illness with everything in her and WHINES incessantly, following me around the house crying and hanging off my leg.  I will set her all up with blankie, bubba, binky all cozy on the couch and then go in the kitchen to attempt starting dinner and within two minutes she is standing under my legs crying and reaching for uppie.  So onto the hip she goes and we end up with a sore arm and a half hazardly thrown together meal. The point of this rant is that I am...

Every time I go to Market Basket, or as I like to call it HELL ON EARTH, I pick up the New Hampshire Parenting magazine.  I pick it up because one I am to cheap to subscribe to a real parenting magazine that is more then 5 pages long and two because maybe there will be a idea for something to do with the rug rats locally.  In this particular edition the editors note was quite interesting...enough so that I was able to read it out loud to my husband and he didn't just nod and pretend to care while staring at the Ipod screen. It was about how the largest teachers union in New Hampshire recently banned field trips to the State House due to the fact that you are allowed to carry a gun while in the State House.  Now hold your fire all my anti-gun parents out there, but this is just ludicrous.  For years the State House has hosted a read-a-thon and many politicians and local celebs have come out to read to groups of kids that are there on school sponsored field trips....

Today marks the fifth straight day of rain.  I dropped Noah off at school and headed to Savers in Nashua.  If  you don't know what Savers is let me enlighten you.  It is like a Salvation Army/Goodwill that is a little cleaner, more organized, and has enough shopping carts.  Anyone that has shopped at a Salvation Army knows that you have to damn near claw somebodies eyes out to get a carriage.  Even then it is some Market Basket cast off with one wheel that doesn't touch the ground and another that makes a high pitch squealing noise.  This is great when you are a kid though because no matter where your mother tries to hide you will find her. I know a lot of people would not be caught dead at a second hand store but I was raised on second hand stuff, be it from the Salvation Army or the cousins.  So this morning, in light of absolute boredom, I decided to make a trip and see what Savers had in store.  Honest to Go...
