Life With Wee People: Put your building samples to the test...
Fun is letting your kids abuse your building supplies (LOL). If you are going to install flooring you should buy a sample and put that puppy to the test. If you read my blog you know that my kids are not shy and every so often something gets destroyed by accident or design (making them the ideal test subjects for experiments in durability - silly grin).
Building Direct is kind of cool because they invite you to beat, bash and inspect their samples. We consider that minion … (12 comments)

Life With Wee People: The Planter Expedition...
Noah the Net Geek is on-line playing World of Warcraft while Stephen the Minion Blur is lining up the gardening tools for some fun. We asked Mike to stop by Wal-Mart for some potting soil and a planter. We have most of what we need and figure by the time he gets back three out of four will be planted. :-)
Mr PDD-NOS is getting really good at measuring stuff. Cooking and planting gives Shorty an opportunity to get his math on. We are going to keep moving the plants … (2 comments)

Drafts
Finally got around to reading some e-mails and turns out I left my last post in draft mode but gave peeps the link. They couldn't read it all day. My apologies. I'm obessing over the writing projects and forgot to switch modes. Yeah, I know... bad mommy blogger (LOL).
We're dirt digging today. I shall update you guys in a few and promise not to inadvertently leave it in draft. I'm explaining the differences between the grape vines to Shorty. He wants to pot them until they get bigger. We're about to have a water hose fight … (3 comments)

Writing, writing, writing... - 01/12/12 04:35 PM
Writing, writing, writing...
I'm in One-Track-Mind mode and have been typing like a lunatic on my laptop for hours. Banging out chapters and scripting is time consuming and I periodically find myself gravitating towards working during the wee hours of the morning. I usually have to do it between wee people activities and was on lock down for most of yesterday. The shorties were pretty cool with it because it afforded them the opportunity to repeatedly raid the pantry for snacks and it's kind of fun watching them wipe out our Twix and Oreo stash.
My 5 year old … (0 comments)

Life With Wee People: The Autism/PDD-NOS Yard Survey - 01/11/12 12:00 AM
Life With Wee People: The Autism/PDD-NOS Yard Survey
So I'm in The Man Cave hanging with Mr PDD-NOS chatting about the fact that Mr Autism is turning 10 in a couple of weeks. We want to throw him a small party. Ever try having a conversation with a 5 year old riding circles around you? It's a fascinating experience because Stephen, the Minion Blur will suddenly decide we need to go for a walk in the middle of it. Translated: he rides and you jog through the neighborhood (LOL).
Turns out he wants to look at other … (5 comments)

Life With Wee People: Stalking the moon...
We just got back from exploring Indialantic and Melbourne. Hubby was a sweetheart and let me be a pain in the a$$ back-seat-driver chasing sunsets, stars and generally running amok with the shorties in tow. Our late night objective? Stalking the moon...
The kids had a blast because we love exploring piers and strolling beach side. It's hard counting stars in NYC but there's plenty of open space down here to give it a go.
We had dinner here... Stephen, the Minion Blur wanted to be two doors down … (2 comments)

Sponjetta Parrish Ten Dollar Pizza Hut Song on Facebook... - 01/10/12 09:14 AM
Sponjetta Parrish Ten Dollar Pizza Hut Song on Facebook...
I have waaaaaay too much fun in social media. Seriously... (LOL)
I am supposed to be in Facebook leaving a message for my borther Cedric but instead I'm instant chatting with Sponjetta Parrish and watching a cool contest with Pizza Hut on Facebook. Everybody is making videos of the $10 Pizza Hut song for a chance at being selected for a commercial so go vote and/or upload your own song.
People are having a lot of fun doing this. I'm cracking up over here... OMG - some of the videos … (2 comments)

Dear Laura C...
Okay. You win. I'm blogging (LOL) ;-)
Went to DMV and had a silent cow because unlike NY (a) FL does not have Enhanced Driver's Licenses (that let you drive into Mexico and Canada without a passport) and (b) they don't have Commercial Chauffeur licenses either. I had to give up a perfectly cool commercial license for a regular drivers license and must now go to school for an A, B or C if I want to drive commercial vehicles (sigh). Can't get appointed as a Notary if I don't have FL state ID so … (4 comments)

Life With Wee People: The 7 Olives Rule
The kids have been fascinated with our popping in and out of the gym. Sometimes they'll try and get rid of us by telling us we need to go exercise then shove our butts towards the front door as if it's chubby people steering (silly grin).
I've been trying to explain why I sometimes go twice a day. I made the mistake of trying to do simple calorie math by whipping out a jar of olives as an example. Noah, the Net Geek thinks it is insane that 7 olives … (13 comments)

Broke a couple of my websites... It's going to take 22 hours to transfer the files (sigh)
I hate when I do that because sometimes I can't figure out what I did (melodramatic eye roll, head thunks on table). I'm bouncing back and forth trying to point mirror sites to domains that wont stop looping (sigh). This is going to take a while. I've created my own form of digital error hell. I'm thinking of changing a couple of platforms and might be re-building three sites from scratch (which is really gonna piss a few social media peeps … (5 comments)

Life With Wee People: The laundry wars...
My kids love going to Aunt Mona and Uncle John's house. FYI: They made out like bandits for Christmas (silly grin). While we were there Noah got comfy on the couch while Stephen settled down on the carpet. We spend an inordinate amount of time playing on the floor so when the little minions are really comfortable with someone they'll kick off their shoes and act as if they're at home.
While I'm dragging and dropping pictures of my sleepyheads back onto my computer I can't help but notice that … (3 comments)

Life With Wee People: Battling the bug...
The plan was to share our Indialantic adventures but a social media gal pal accidentally sent me a virus that had my digital knickers tied in a knot for days. My laptop refused to start. I was in loop hell staring at this screen:
"Your computer was unable to start," is a phrase I never want to read ever again. I had to format the drive and go back to factory settings (sigh). I've been dragging and dropping files off my Passport drive for a couple of hours now... There's … (10 comments)
