Once Upon a Time...

They lived happily ever after.

The end.

No, wait. I think I missed some parts in there.

Hello. My name is Tamara and this is my introduction post thingy. Most of you reading this will know this stuff but a few of you won't. Even if you do think you are familiar with the material, you should review as there will be a test.

I am a 42 year old woman who lives in Vermont.
I will probably write about that on occasion.




I am happily married.
I will probably write about that on occasion but this won't be one of those 'poke fun at the clueless husband' blogs.

I have 3 children.
I will most likely write about them but I don't fancy myself one of those 'mom bloggers'.



My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with autism 2 years ago.
I will definitely write about her but this won't be one of those 'my child was stolen from me by teh autismz and I hate my life' blogs.


We're poor. Not 'free lunch' poor. Well, not anymore. We've moved up into the 'reduced lunch' category of poor. w00t!
I may write about that on occasion.

I am most likely autistic myself. I'm definitely an anxiety-ridden blob much of the time.
I will write about that on occasion. 

I have very strong political views.
I will likely not post much about them here. I'm not big on pissing contests.

I consider myself a Leftist Christian.
I will not post much about that here. Again with the not big on the pissing contests.

I swear. Quite a bit.
Mainly the standards. Not the stuff your drunk Uncle Steve comes out with when he's fighting with your father on Thanksgiving.

I have no idea how this site works so I'll probably stumble around here a bit until I get my sea legs. 

Did I forget anything?
