Welcome to Chock Full of Au-some

Welcome! So glad to see you've made it; this is all part of a fresh start for me. I recently quit my job to take care of my two full-time 3-year-old twins, who happen to be on the autism spectrum, as well as myself. This will be the place where I chronicle our adventures, the funny little things my boys (all three of them - I count their daddy) do.

First, I have no problem cursing, so if you see an F-bomb, don't be surprised.

Second, I'm not politically correct most of the time, despite my background in journalism.

Third, I'm a self-diagnosed Aspie. I have sensory issues, memory issues, sometimes things don't "click" like they should for me when it comes to social stuff, and my filter goes missing when I most need it...I need lists like I need air, but with twins on the spectrum and a stressful full-time job, I found myself lacking any time to do anything, and I've become scattered.

Fourth, despite having a bachelor's degree in writing, I am no grammar nazi, and sometimes my fingers don't quite cooperate with my brain, so excuse me if I make some mistakes, I'm only human, after all.

I hope you come back for more...heck, I hope I remember to come back and write some more! Tomorrow (I guess, technically, today) is my last day at my full-time job. Then I'll be trying my hand at freelance work, and if I can't manage to make that work, I'll be searching for something part-time, so that I don't have to work evenings or weekends, and can spend more time with my beautiful boys.

One more note: I don't drink because I have a Chiari Malformation that makes it terribly painful (at least, I think that's why it's painful) to consume alcohol, plus, I just plain don't care for the taste. But I know there are many wine-lovin' mamas out there, and I love the memes, and occasionally I'll change them in my head to suit me (substitute wine with McDonald's Coke?) - but that doesn't mean I won't still post some "Ugh, I wish it was wine-o-clock" stuff, because trust me, I wish it was!
