“Who moved my seat?” or “When little things beget huge meltdowns”

May 13, 2009

Yesterday afternoon was bleak. We’ve begun the gradual process of car seat rearranging so the J-Man will end up behind the driver seat and Little E behind the passenger seat so the driver can better see him and stick a hand back there if need be. We didn’t want the J-Man to think his little [...]

Bragging While Dragging

February 26, 2009

This cold that’s going around like wildfire here has knocked me flat most of the week. I’ve been dragging along OK, but any ambitious plans – blogging or otherwise – are just toast this week. But I will take a minute to brag on the students of all three of the autism classes at our [...]

This is the cold that never ends…

February 17, 2009

It just goes on and on, my friends. Some people started sneezing it Not knowing what it was And they’ll continue sneezing it Forever, just because This is the cold that never ends… That’s where we are folks. Stuck here in the land of Girl Scout camp songs and Ayla-lore about why cough medicine is [...]

You Kinda Get Used to Weeks Like This

February 5, 2009

I want to say this has been a crazy week, but I suppose it’s really just par for the course. On Tuesday, the J-Man had a dentist appointment. I don’t think I need to give any more setup to this story than that; it speaks for itself. After being in the waiting room for an [...]

He’s the One They Call Dr. Feelgood…

December 3, 2008

One line summary – J-Man has a rip-roaring ear infection. Blech. It’s always alarming when you see your kid’s teacher’s cell phone number pop up on the caller ID. They don’t send kids home from our Pre-K unless they’re practically near death. The teachers pride themselves on being able to handle anything, and largely they [...]

Oh Croup!

November 10, 2008

[Ed. note - Today was so incredibly awesome that we both felt the need to write posts about it independently...] For about a month now, the J-man has had an off-and-on cough. It would go away for a bit, then come back, usually with no real other symptoms. Sunday night though, that cough wouldn’t stop. [...]

Achin’ 2 – Electric Croup-aloo

November 10, 2008

The Croup has landed on the Flashlight house. Man I was starting to feel bored, lazy, and complacent so it’s a good thing this happened! Feel the sarcasm oozing from every pore! And even better is that there really isn’t a dang thing you can do about croup except maybe crank up some humidifiers. And [...]

Suckus Haircuticus

November 9, 2008

If somebody knows of some spell – like from Harry Potter – that will automagically cut a terrified, frantic kid’s hair, we’d love to hear it. We’ve long since given up going to the local kid haircut place since J-Man just screamed bloody murder, scared every kid in there, and required six people practically sitting [...]
