Turning my curmudgeonly ways

I've written about being a reluctant sports mom despite having two boys who are jocks and I've titled an episode in my life as "Our Lives Are Shit" in an essay in a new book. But there's benefits to both!

Read about Gatorade, me as a sports mom and your chance to win a $100 gift card from Dick's Sporting Goods HERE.

Leave a wise and witty comment HERE and get a chance to win a copy of Wit and Wisdom, the new anthology. I have an essay in it!

Business

I've got two bits of news -- good news -- that I'll share with you here. I'm holding on to my IEP posts and will update you later this week when I've gotten through both of them. One down and one to go!

Completely unrelated is my Top 25 SoCal Mom Bloggers award -- I landed up placing twelfth, which wasn't too shabby and thank you for diligently voting for me each day in what might have been a silly contest but when you do what I do each day, well -- I'll take any kind of award! A brief interview and several of my favorite blog posts have been posted here, if you'd like to take a look.

My second random announcement is a new book in which my writing is published! The anthology Wit and Wisdom from the Parents of Special Needs Kids was organized and edited by the hilarious Lynn Hudoba. She worked on the book with the equally hilarious Big Daddy of Big Daddy Autism. Lynn's blog My Life as an Ungrateful, Unhinged, and Unwilling Draftee into the Autism Army is as funny as it sounds, and I am proud to be included in the new anthology. I will have a giveaway for a copy of the book as soon as I get it, but in the meantime, show us some blogger love and check it out HERE.


You can also order the book by clicking the button below or on my sidebar! And we encourage you to write a review of the book on Amazon!
