Big Bad Bush v 4 million children

What have you done to help maintain a middle class in the USA Mr. President?
Not a damn thing. My heart's a flutter thinking about the time ebbing from your failed presidency. Perhaps another $600 Bush sponsored field trip to WalMart would make us happier and feel as if we're contributing.

I'm having a nervous breakdown today and all parenting duties have gone to my husband (poor guy)

Friends

.....I don't have many of them in real life. Fact is I have two. Yes two. Not acquaintances, not colleagues (unless you count the other mothers of kids with special needs I know) but friends. You know....people who call you, you call them, you make plans, you see them, say "happy birthday" , "how's the family", blah, blah, blah. Don't get me wrong. I have "friends" people I'm in contact with, concerned about, care about and in general, give a shit about.

Back to the original thought. I have these two friends, and one of them seems to think, that if I'm not doing something with her, I must be seeing the other one, all the time, behind her back, plotting, laughing, ignoring her. So not true. Now that this has come to light though..... I'm thinking I may do just that,with the other friend because this friend works, has 3 kids aged 3 and under, and has soooo much time on her hands that what we're really doing is: plotting, laughing, ignoring and talking about you behind your back......we're also drinking mimosas, getting pedicures and Paulo's massaging us while the kids run wild in the streets playing with bags of glass!

I still love my other friend but really, I just don't have time.

Um....Hello?

I've tried blogging before. I'm just too fucking lazy, or I'm too tired or the petit verdot is too yummy? I'm not sure. I'm a SAHM (I hate that term but it's one people recognize) I have 2 marvelous boys. Ages 8 and 3. They will be my undoing and my salvation. When life is hard I whine, whine, whine. Life is easy and I wonder? We're just like everyone else right?

Parenting is my life. I didn't plan it that way, it is what it is. Kaidth, as T'Pau might say.
My oldest, the smartest most interesting individual I've ever met just happens to have autism, Marfan Syndrome and Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (with a bit of hyperlexia, spd and allergies thrown in the mix). My 3 year old is the most honest, fearless, adventurer you'll ever meet. I'm a wife, news addict, sci-fi, anxiety ridden, ex-mormon atheist.

That's it for now, hope I manage to keep this up because I desperately need a toilet for my thoughts so here I am (again).
