“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to George’s”
“OK”
He waves to me from the door.
“Brian?”
“Yeh?”
“When was the last time you brushed your teeth?”
(silence)
“Three days ago… I think.”
Until next time-

For many years I used this blog to tell my funny parenting stories about raising a boy on my own.
Along the way I was diagnosed with Hashimotos disease (the same thyroid disease as Oprah, and yes, we can run companies).
Now that my son is almost out of the house, I thought I'd take you on a humorous journey into the land of thyroid.
Since starting this blog in 2003 I have become known for my inspirational blog project
8 Women Dream.
By day I am considered a professional blogger, freelance writer, author, copywriter, content development authority,
and Internet marketing expert.
Starting January 2012, I will begin sharing my thyroid stories with all the humor you've grown to love.
Come watch me as I show the world that living with an autoimmune disease can be funny and empowering --
because you can't ever give up on yourself.
The posting schedule will be M/F. Really.
No kidding! I couldn’t agree more.
Once in a while I’ll have to ask a boy if he’s brushed his teeth “today.” When he says “no” I’ll toss a “do you know why I asked?”
The answer is — well, I suspect you know the answer, unless Brian’s breath smells like roses if he misses a brushing or two.
