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!

Shit talking up all night

We are having a very slow moving day today.  Partly due to the fact, well totally due to the fact, that a entire bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet wine followed by a glass of my favorite boxed Merlot causes me to agonize over every single task this blah morning.  Therefore the children are not dressed, neither am I and you know what?  I don't care.  Truth be told the kids seem just fine and dandy with the whole wear your pajamas to lunch trend I have started.  I will walk the dog in my pajamas and wave to my neighbors looking like a total bag lady and who cares.  I was spared the headache but must have exhausted all my energy last night pouring endless glasses of mommy's little helper for me and my bestie.  Totally cool with that.  The best part...undressed babies means cute little butt cracks all over this house.  Adorable.  Don't believe me?!  Have a look.  Love it.  Noah is rocking his sweet mismatched PJ's because the kid simply refuses to wear anything that remote

Burning down the house (well the yard)

The only color in the whole yard.  Well except for white, bark, and evergreen.  Welcome to New Hampshire in the spring!! Today we got to tackle some of the tremendous overgrowth on one side of our house.  There are some wicked (Boston thing...I know) vines that are strangling the life out of all the trees.  They look just like snakes (which makes my heart race just thinking about it) that wrap up huge trees and then reach out and attach to the next closest thing.  Well we tore those bastards up today, Dov actually, but I was a good cheerleader the whole time! We started out by the rules...ya know just burning stuff 4 inches or smaller but before the day was over I wouldn't have been surprised if Dov decided to tear down the porch and throw it in there as well.  Funny thing that fire is, just kind of sucks you in and before you know it your acting like a little pyro, yeah hey lets burn all the crap in the yard-throw it in there you pussy!  DO IT! As I looked at these pictures I r

I guess I am welcoming a shit storm

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.  This will no long
