Sep 4, 2008 The Story of My Life
I’m going to Allyo’s mother’s memorial service this morning and then heading to a meeting. It’s hot, our air conditioner is broken, I’m mad at the RNC (feminists don’t hate special needs babies, duh) and grouchy as all hell.
Grrrrr.
Catch you on the flip side. (What does that MEAN?)
I live in Central Ohio with my two homeschooled kids and their internet-wary father and have been blogging our lives since 2001. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here. I pay the bills by working for a non-profit (telecommuting 3 days a week) and feed my soul by writing creative nonfiction, which has been published in Salon, Bitch, Greater Good and Brain Child (among others). You can check out my professional writing credits here. I am represented by the Doris S. Michaels Literary Agency.
I took my frustration out on my blog:

thats the bad side of all of us being so “close” We are all grouchy at the same time!
What? There was a RNC?
Grouchy doesn’t begin to cover it over here.
Hang in there.
But Julia, as the mother to special needs kids, doesn’t Palin speak for you?
Margie, I loved your post this morning!! I google shared it (in my sidebar and to my google friends and on facebook in my friendffeed)!!
I’ve heard that she does Dawn. Maybe she knows something about suicidal 9 year olds too! Cause I could use some advice about that! I’m hanging on her every word. You know I am.
Julia, I think you should go kick her ass. You could take her. She may be a self-described pitbull but you’re pretty scrappy yourself.
as long as you put on lipstick first!
as a mother of a child with diabetes, who was pretty mad when W. severely limited stem cell research, my first thought was ‘i wonder how she would have dealt with that one’. clearly she is your advocate if you agree with her.
