Back talk | Fumbling Toward Naptime

https://fumblingtowardnaptime.com/2015/04/03/back-talk

Parenting based on instinct, some stuff I read somewhere, and faking it. April 3, 2015. Hola, amigos. It’s me. Emma. May I vent? Sorry Didn’t mean to shock you. Let it settle in for a moment.). The past few weeks, I’ve been spending a little too much time behind the wheel. Okay, FINE: behind the person behind the wheel. You know what I mean. (Don’t nickel and dime a girl when she’s venting.) For example . . . And ask if Lucy lives with a guy named Ricky? Jacob (from the back seat): LET’S GO! Like taking ...

Snow | Fumbling Toward Naptime

https://fumblingtowardnaptime.com/2015/02/24/snow

Parenting based on instinct, some stuff I read somewhere, and faking it. February 24, 2015. Hello, America. It’s me. Emma. Writing to you from one of the polar ice caps. By which I mean, New England. Where it now snows. ALL. WINTER. Me and Jacob sledding down the sidewalk. We’re all thinking it, America. So let’s just say it: WTF? Don’t give me that horrified look. I think I’m justified in throwing out a, “What The Frozen-poopie? I’M. EXHAUSTED. Or how to use the potty. And, I’ve found a new hobby&...

Potty Talk | Fumbling Toward Naptime

https://fumblingtowardnaptime.com/2015/01/29/potty-talk

Parenting based on instinct, some stuff I read somewhere, and faking it. January 29, 2015. Because you don’t buy a smoothie. You rent it. Hello, America. It’s me again. Sorry it has been so long. I will try to do better. But no time to waste with apologies. I know you forgive me. (Thanks, America. Kiss, kiss.) Down to the business at hand. You can see what I’m up against. It’s like Pampers hates the environment. Or maybe they just hate children. Know your audience, people. Know. You...Given the totally u...

Ten things I really want for Mother's Day

http://babysideburns.com/2015/05/ten-things-i-really-want-for-mother

Shits and giggles and everything in between. Ten things I really F’ing want for Mother’s Day. May 5, 2015. 1 I don’t want to wipe a single ass all day.

I want brunch with my other mommy friends. See ya, rug rats. Mommy’s coming back drunk on laughter and bloody marys. 3 I want to sleep in. But not with my hooligans shouting MOMMYYYYYY! 9 I want a ...

One month, two peaks, three achievements… next? | Dirty, Naked and Happy

https://dirtynakedandhappy.wordpress.com/2015/04/03/one-month-two-peaks-three-achievements-next

Dirty, Naked and Happy. Donate to the National Autistic Society. One month, two peaks, three achievements… next? April 3, 2015. Dirty Naked and Happy. So that’s World Autism Awareness Day gone for another year… a month since I shared ‘I Stand Quietly’. Does any of this. Really make any difference? I am definitely different now. Forever. For the better on the whole. Many hundreds of them took the time to say they feel differently. Some who were previously untouched by autism say they have learned somethin...

Maybe you aren't cut out to be a mommy

http://babysideburns.com/2015/05/maybe-you-arent-cut-out-to-be-a-mommy

Shits and giggles and everything in between. MAYBE YOU AREN’T CUT OUT TO BE A MOMMY. May 15, 2015. And it’s not just from Groupon or Gymboree! It’s from a real live person, and here’s what it said…. Then I found your blog. And I bought your book. The relief I felt when I found all my frustration, and then some, in those pages was indescribable. I knew I wasn’t alone, and if a woman who carried her children felt that way, then I, an adoptive mom, was just a normal mom. If you liked this, please don’...

I painted my son's fingernails. So what?

http://babysideburns.com/2015/05/painted-sons-fingernails

Shits and giggles and everything in between. I PAINTED MY SON’S FINGERNAILS. SO WHAT? May 18, 2015. So I want to say something. On Friday I posted a picture of my kiddo on Facebook getting his nails painted. No, that is not a typo. And it got over 800 comments within a few hours, mostly from people shouting out tons of awesome support. So thank you. No, you cannot have Fruit Loops today. No, you cannot go to Six Flags barefoot. No, you cannot get up at 5AM to do your new Lego set. Someone gay. You’re...

I accidentally published this with no title, say no more… | Dirty, Naked and Happy

https://dirtynakedandhappy.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/i-accidentally-published-this-with-no-title-say-no-more

Dirty, Naked and Happy. Donate to the National Autistic Society. I accidentally published this with no title, say no more…. March 25, 2015. Dirty Naked and Happy. Of course it was bound to happen and I should learn not to react (did I mention that problem I have with being indignant? It took a lot longer to happen than I thought it would which should be a good sign of diminishing levels of ignorance but it still really PISSED me OFF. It’s also pretty ignorant. Why ask me? So, you are not really searching...

A Real Mom | Five More Minutes.....

https://agsawan.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/a-real-mom

Five More Minutes…. So grab a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, depending on what time of day it is (or what kind of day it is) and take a few minutes to sit back, relax and read. Please add your comments or opinions, I know you must have something to say, and I would love to hear it. Thanks for stopping by. Anne Cavanaugh-Sawan. I haven’t written anything here for so long, but something irked me recently and I have something to say, and when a mom has something to say, she says it! I never say, “...
