Although I post rarely and so far have never put a picture of myself up, I decided to change my profile name to something less obvious. With the increased popularity of YLF, I am starting to get concerned about privacy issues. So Marlene is now Enginemom.

Enginemom is the nickname I acquired when my now-13yo son was 2 and he became a train that called himself Engine. And since I was his mom, I became Enginemom. And it stuck. Although these days, when I tell the story he is horrified and exasperated. Maybe I should call myself Exasperatedmom....
