Bio
am Meredith. The mother of boy/girl twins, born in 2008. I am happily married to the funniest man on Satan’s red planet, and I am the caretaker of two morbidly obese geriatric cats. I am barely hanging on, people. I’m talking by the fingernails. And I only have 6 fingernails so……yeah. It’s a challenge. I have been published on Errant Parent, Imperfect Parent, and I have upcoming pieces on Errant Parent and the Yellow Ham. Sometimes I have many meaningless things to say, sometimes only a couple of things that will leave you balls-deep in meaning. And I am a chronic over-sharer. So, enjoy!

By the way (completely unrelated) I’d like to give a big shout out to the world’s smallest continent/largest island, Australia, which has been checking out my site almost as much as my own country. Which leads me to ask two questions:
1. WTF USA?
2. Why, exactly, do Australians kick so much ass? (wink wink — I’m looking at you, you gorgeous beasts)
