this should come as no surprise to the 2 people who have been waiting for me to get off my dead ass and blog again, but let's say someone else should happen across this and actually stick around to read it--to them it might be surprising. so let me just say that i apologise for taking so long to follow up on this. dominic has been successfully adopted. he is cuter than ever and i will post

well, it is official. the end of the world as we know it is here. not for nothing but i knew this day would arrive but i had no idea it would happen in my life time, lol. i work with not one but TWO people who don't believe in evolution............and these are perfectly reasonable nice people......maybe too nice. maybe that is the real problem here they are so nice that you would never

well, this past week the good folks at social services finally decided to change the baby's goal to adoption. it had been reunification which stills blows me away. why that was ever an option in this case is beyond me. back in june--read the post, lazy ass--i said that they were supposed to change the goal "soon". i guess in dss time that 5 months for a no brainer decision isn't a long time.

i have some very sad news. cassady got sick again and we took her to the vet last thurs. for tests and they didn't really find anything to explain the tremendous weight loss and the constant gagging so they hydrated her and sent her home on friday. friday night she was still gagging and unable to eat and then same on sat. so the boss said that she was just suffering and we didn't want her to

i feel like making up for lost time so i will tell you the 900 dollar saga of our cat, cassady. almost two weeks ago i was getting ready to take the boys to the doctors when i heard the sound of a cat hawking up a hairball on my tan carpet. at least that is what i thought was happening. in reality, the cat had tried to get the hairball up and it went part of the way back down into her airway.

although it is not always bad to be a freak or even a super freak, most of the time it is. face it. it just is. and the great thing is you will never run out of freaks to poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but sometimes you have to acknowledge that all people are not freaks. or so says the boss. since we got the baby most people have been supportive and some people have gone the extra mile.

It is certainly not for the lack of freaks in the world and esp. in my small part of the world.To go into more detail about the dss freaks---they are ridiculous. We weren't good enough to get Nick and Alex's little brother Christopher--maybe the gay thing maybe not. maybe the genetic condition of the boys maybe not. the boss says no on both counts and says i judge people. of course i judge

this was a very interesting summer. lot's of freaks and very little time to post about them. i think i am catching up with my parental skill set so i will have more time to critique others. and that is what i live for. i would like to thank the creeping unknown for some excellent "people are freaks" standin posts. probably everyone who reads this, all 3 of you, will have heard this freak story

i have begun my complaining about the heat already. it would be nice if we ever had a spring but once the pool guy comes on monday my troubles will be over.this week we survived our first round of iep meetings. they seem to agree that both boys need services--duh. alex topped out one of the tests at 17months. he will be 5 in august. nick was slightly better and averaged out at the three year

Ok, i am totally lying. i am beyond thrilled and don't care who knows it. we are in the final process of being approved for two brothers. their social worker is talking to our social worker and i am waiting on pins and needles. because(see social worker post) things have not exactly gone smoothly so far. although i got a good omen this morning. my boss(see previous posts) decided that she

it has taken me nearly two weeks to calm myself enough to post this. but now comparing it to the last one, i realize how silly this was.on the friday before february vacation, j. told me that i was very rude because i left a container of chicken wings in their refridgerator. it isn't my refridge, it is hers and her mother's. and i should take my things home with me.now, a little background.

There have been too many freaks lately to post individually about each one. and the way the news is, i don't really have enough info. although maybe i have too much info. you decide.1. yet another teacher having sex with one of her students. this has almost ceased to freak me out, it has just been happening too much lately. or maybe it is just being reported more, or people have become such

i can't believe that we are paying him at all never mind the outrageous amount that we are. his faults which have now officially number enough to be considered a freak.1. every time we talk to him he makes some comment about his heterosexuality. i don't know if he is afraid we will mistake him for gay, but it is really annoying. i know they can't help the way they are, but do they need to

i am a nanny. i work for a 61 yo woman who adopted a girl from russia when she was 55yo. that alone is enough to qualify her as a freak. but no, there is sooo much more. for example: yesterday(the holiday, that she wasn't working, and yet i was) 60 dollars and told me i had to take j. to wellesley to buy used ice skates. why she couldn't have done this herself over the weekend is a mystery
