So, it's not all sunshine, roses and unicorns flying out my butt.
I am republishing this post from February 21, 2010 for two reasons. I think it is pretty darned funny with almost a year of separation from the incident, and The company that takes the photos is still, almost a year later, trying to convince me to

I'm joining the crowd.
FXSmom over at Fragile What!? had a great idea to share memories of her life with Fragile X so I've decided to join in as well. I'm going to cheat for my first post though. I wrote this in 2006 about two weeks into our journey. Reading it makes me an
