Me in as few words as possible
- LMG
- Central, New Jersey, United States
- Full-time mom, full-time NP. Impatient, intolerant of fools, idiots, rude people and sniveling. Author of this rather useless blog containing random musings, ramblings and whining about being an older parent of a soon-to-be sixth grader and a hearing-impaired almost third grader, as well as other miscellaneous blather on international adoption, atresia/microtia, quilting and anything else that sticks in my brain long enough to write about it. I'm 'Mom' to two kids born in China and I have an intense dislike of the phrase "adoptive mother"; I am a mother, period, no modifier needed. You got a problem with that? Move on, there are plenty of other blogs out there.
