I’ve got some Punky Moms news in lieu of new content

29 September 2008 By Leave a Comment

I’ve been sick. Not deathly ill, but sick enough to not want to do anything except sleep. Of course, instead of sleep I have done laundry, went food shopping today, taken photos, edited photos, done other misc. work, you know, life goes on, mucous be damned. In lieu of real content, please peruse some of this older, but still pertinent content.

Punky Moms Holiday Ad Book!
What is the Holiday Ad Book you ask? It’s a one stop directory of places to shop! It’s more than a holiday gift “guide,” it’s a resource people will hang on to and reference all year long. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve directed someone to this place or that looking for the perfect holiday gift, baby gift, mama gift… you name it! Whether you sell Avon, Body Shop at Home, Candles, Clothing, jewelry, you have a place in our book!

Punky Moms got over 6200 front page hits in August alone, PunkyMomsForum.com got over 63000 (yes, three zeros!) and that is where our ad book will be available for permanent download. That is some serious exposure!
We want to have this created and ready for download and distro at the beginning of November for those who like to do their holiday shopping early! As long as the ads are in it will go out on time!

What a great way to reach over 1000 people (and growing daily!) all at once! We’re planning for our holiday shopping guide and we want your ads!

For the ridiculously inexpensive rate of 20$ per 1/8 page ad (the size of a business card) you can have a spot in our holiday digital book. The book will be available for free download to everyone as well as being distributed around the web.

Sensory Diet?

10 September 2008 By Leave a Comment

Who knows about a sensory diet? Our OT (who rocks) wants his daily schedule, both home and school, so she can make a sensory diet for him.

I can google, but they are all different, so who has experience with this? Is it going to be as “on 100% of the time” as I feel like it is? Are his needs about to take over my family? *sigh*

I am not borrowing problems, I promise. Here’s my problem, it already exists, and it existed loooon before I ever thought about having sex, let alone kids.

I grew up with OT/PT/ST things all around me. In my home, at E’s school, at her therapy appointments, you name it, it was always there. I have kind of a built in fetish for ortho stuff, probably because of the exposure I got as a kid. No, I’m not worried my kids will wind up with some weird fetish (I am not weird, and I have no problems with my fetishes, in or out of the bedroom. I also get a kick out of my odometer reading as a palindrome.) I am worried it will take up family money, take over family time, and push them out. Why? Because I’ve been there/done that.

I have no problem buying big, peanut shaped balls. No problem buying a soft mesh swing to hook up outside to play superman in. No problem buying special toys that maybe don’t cost extra but I normally wouldn’t buy only to satisfy his need for whatever (texture, sound, you know, whatever).

I do have a problem when it eats into our family, and the idea of a sensory diet, which, from what I can tell, is an all the time thing.

I totally googled – http://www.google.com/search?q=sensory+diet&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I read almost three pages worth of results.

I just… I don’t want D & E to resent M like I did my sister. I love(d) my sister, but I totally resented her and what she took away from me for a long time.

SoFl Tattoo Expo

16 August 2008 By Leave a Comment

How disappointing! By the time we got there last night (11 PM) a lot of places had already packed up for the night (and left? never arrived in the first place?), there was very little jewelry (there were a ton of pipes though) and only two places had machines. Kingpin was there, and one of the local machine builders had some on display. As Michael said, he can order from Kingpin at any time, and if he wanted one of the other machines, the buys wife would bring a selection to the shop so he could pick out the one he wants. In other words, nice machines, but nothing special he couldn’t have gotten without going to the expo.

We wont be going next year. Maybe if they move to a new hotel, but this one isn’t conducive to a good show at all.

Busy morning!

15 August 2008 By Leave a Comment

We went to the salon this morning. I have my eyebrows ripped out. They are shapely once again. I made an appointment for next Wednesday to get my hair coloured and cut. I am a few inches worth of root overdue, and I need to have about an inch cut off. I have split ends! Quelle horeur! I’ve never had split ends. Of course, I’ve never had my hair this long, so maybe I’ve just never noticed? Of course we’re going red, big bold beautiful red, with the black lowlights, and the copper highlights.

Rushed over to the boys school to see who their teachers are this year. Malachai has Mrs. Mitchell, which I was hoping for. Dorian had her last year, and I think she’ll be perfect for M this year. I let her know M&W are going to be long days for him. Not anticipating a problem, but just letting her in in case it is. Hot-footed it over to the other new building to meet Dorian’s teacher, Mrs. Vassal. She’s a cute little thing! I am not used to be taller than anyone, but I was. She is very structured, communicates in the homework book (fabulous for me) and was on the ball! I think Dor will do great in her class. I let her know M&W will be long days as well (by association) but I am going to try and arrange to have a sitter so D isn’t out so late. Again, not anticipating a problem, but mentioning it just in case. Stopped in to see Dr. O about the aid for next year. It’s not sounding good. She said they might get one aid to share between the kids who applied, and Mal might get an hour a day with him/her. Well, it’s better than nothing, right? I mentioned he has PT/OT/ST twice a week and we did get hours after school. She said I am just like mom, whether I want to be or not *laughs* We were approved for free breakfast/lunch this year, so that’s good. The boys prefer getting hot lunch to packing a cold one, and it’s 4/5 times a healthy, well rounded meal. I’m really excited about school this year, can you tell?

Grabbed some lunch, and now we’re home! Shop may or may not be closing early tonight, so we might be hitting the expo tonight instead of tomorrow night. I guess it depends on when they close.

I pick the boys up at five today from camp. I need to decide if I am picking up a cake or not… we are celebrating on Sunday, so I figured we’d get a cake and do presents then, but I wanted to give him the MP3 player tonight. I love making birthdays special, but everyone schedules make it hard to do it on the day of the birthday, you know? Maybe I’ll order pizza tonight as a special treat. We’ll see.

Oh, I almost forgot. I had the weirdest dream this morning! First I was dreaming I was following Michael in the car, and he turned, and then I turned, but I turned wrong and got stopped and given a ticket. I kind of woke up from that, and fell back to sleep. Then I dreamed we were at the house, and I get a call that DCF is coming in a half hour! I freak out that we need to clean up, put the clothes away, etc.. The house in my dream was a sty, it was awful and I was freaking out that they were going to take the twins away and the kids and next thing I know Michael was rubbing my  back (IRL) and I mumbled the dream to him and thanked him for waking me up. Then I dozed back off and fell back into the dream, still rushing around trying to clean up a house that seemed familiar, but wasn’t really anyplace that could exist in the real world.
