Autism is part of you, and how you view the world…it doesn’t define you. I will always be here.

#Autism t-shirt
Wordless Wednesday – 03/14
My daughter and I went to a pottery place on Sunday to celebrate our “mommy-daughter long weekend”. Here are our creations:
My daughter’s chick-bowl / my daughter’s rainbow piggy-bank / my new travel mug
We get to pick them up in 2 weeks after they have been glazed and fired. My travel mug will come with a green rubber top…so looking forward to a new chai-dispenser! 
Google Found Me How?!
Every so often, I just NEED to share with you the Google search terms that result in people visiting my blog. Some are funny, and some are just plain “ewwww!”. Here are some searches that have resulted in people coming to my blog in the last month:
Under the “Awww!” Category:
- Hugs for growth – still amazes me how much money went into finding out that hugging is a good thing…and getting 14 hugs a day is optimal
- Positive mommy quotes – LOVE that someone found my blog with this search term. I hope I helped!
- Quotes on how to be single and happy – yay! Fake it until you make it, baby!
- Freckles and redheads hot – why, thank you! For some reason though, I think this search might have searching for something other than a mommy blog…just sayin’.
- Domesticated Mommy – ha! Have you fooled!
- Happily divorced – just waiting to file the paperwork…but in my mind, I am happily divorced!
Under the “Ummm…what?! Why did you find my blog with this search term” Category:
- My son steals my daughters diaper – do I want to know if it was a clean or soiled diaper? Don’t think so.
- Marriage – why on earth are you looking to me to learn anything about marriage? I know nothing…just ask my ex-husband. Wait. Please don’t.
- Babies get high – Should I call Childrens’ Aid Society, or are you? And why on earth would that search term bring you to MY blog? I’m almost offended by this. For the record, I do NOT support babies getting high!
- Quotes on how to start a relationship – um, again…don’t ask me! I’m shocked (but happy!) my man is still around!
- Don’t like your status – then don’t read it
- Negative single parent quotes – who is researching this on Google? What are you planning on learning?
- I am not your mother anymore – amen, sister!
- I’m not the mothering type – I REALLY hope my kids never say this about me!
- Vaginal myomectomy – ahhh…been there, done that…and am SSOOO glad! Highly recommend it for anyone with a uterine fibroid.
Under the Ewwww! Category:
- Mom son sexy stories – ummm…ewwww!
What I do find cool though, is when people actually search for different variations of “ImAMomToo” and find my blog – yay!

Sex Ed From a 6 Year Old
My 6 year old daughter is a natural mama. If a bunch of kids come to play at the park, she will end up with the baby and the mom, gently pushing the baby on the swing, and talking the mom’s ear off. She will hover over any stroller, just waiting with great anticipation for the baby to wake up and, when he/she does, my daughter is ready to entertain.
She talks a lot about me having more babies, and the number ranges from her having another brother and sister to 10 babies…I “belt them out” in pairs (she has a twin brother), but still…another 5 pregnancies? Ummm…I’ll get back to you on that.
Wanted to share a conversation between my 6 year old daughter and I earlier this week.
“Mommy?”
“Yes honey.”
“When I’m big, I’m going to be pregnant.”
“When you’re big like mommy, yes you probably will.” – need to start the brainwashing early
“I’m going to have twins in my tummy like you did.”
“You may honey. You may also have one baby instead of two in your tummy at a time, and that’s just as special. How many babies do you want to have?”
“Lots. They are cute.”
“Yes, they are, and lots of work too so you have to be a grown up first.” – more brainwashing.
Silence for a few minutes…
“Mommy?”
“Yes honey.”
“You were pregnant in your tummy.”
“Yes honey.”
“How did we get in your tummy?” C ~ R ~ A ~ P Umm…thought she would be a bit older than 6 before this question was asked, and NOT while I was driving back from camp.
“Daddy and I loved each other very much and he helped me.” Please don’t ask how…please don’t ask how…crap…did she notice the past tense…I don’t want to have the divorce discussion now too…
“How did he help you?” Double C ~ R ~ A ~ P
“Honey, that’s a conversation we can have when you are older, and when mommy’s not driving. It’s a really big girl conversation and I want to be able to answer any questions you have.”
“OK mommy. I love you, and I want babies just like you did.”
And then she started singing along with the music, while I silently prayed for that “really big girl conversation” to be many years from now.
