I got pregnancy acupuncture today. It was a lot more invasive than I was expecting - that is the most action I've seen down there in a couple of months!

Where exactly did they put the needles?

I've been working up the bravery to call my old therapist. It sounds like a cop out, but it's really so hard to do. I don't know why.

Because your mind is working against you right now. Don't think about it, just dial. Sometimes you need to just go into autopilot and not think

I am contemplating canceling movie plans tonight because I'd rather stay home and play Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. The only thing stopping me is that I already bought a ticket.

My mom borrowed mine and my FI's car while we're on vacation and she rear-ended a police car. She is okay and there was minimal damage, but I can't help but be annoyed that she thought it was a good idea to go to swim class in the middle of a snow/sleet storm. Ugh.

I'm buying a Himalayan salt lamp in an attempt to get DD STTN consistently, in her crib, so... I feel like I'm almost at essential oil levels of suckerage myself, these days.

Seriously? I have one at work a coworker gave me. Or had. Now I'm putting it in my bag to plug in DD's room. Little bugger had decided sleeping through the night is for losers

Someone said in megachoo's sleep thread the other day that their friend swears by it. We're on month 15, so I'm desperate. lol.

But for whose benefit?  I am so baffled by this.
Are your guests making pen marks along the side of your soap container, checking levels?

we have a friend who is a total neat-freak-germaphobe and he comes over at least once a week for video games or whatever. i'm always worried that he goes into the bathroom and is all, "huh...they're on like month four of that bottle of soap. they're disgusting human beings."

We refill ours from a giant bottle.

tators and Muddled, he put one at the top of my butt crack and one sort of at the top of the hood area of my vulva. After he took them out, he also put pressure/massaged there. I am feeling more cramping, so I'm hopeful it was worth it.

Did you just tell us you had a massage with a happy ending but claiming it was acupuncture?

[mrsukyankee]

((vicky)) As a therapist, I'm glad when my past clients feel okay with calling me again at a later date (sad they have to call but happy they trust me). Definitely call.

Interesting. I've never gotten it in both sides at acu.

I hear that helps, though.

i was talking to a coworker during a work lunch recently (she was sitting across from me).  she mentioned that she started taking water aerobics.  of course, i was like, 'are you the only person under the age of 50?' and we laughed.  she then told me that she went last week and one of the old ladies was wearing the exact same swimsuit! and then she says, 'it was just some cheap suit i picked up at walmart, i'm surprised that someone else was wearing it'.  so then i say, 'does it look like this and that...'.  and it was the SUIT!. 

gbcn meets real life

AND, watch out for old ladies wearing the same suit. 

Goddamnit. Lol.

Should that be Dangnabbit?

Somehow, despite all of my discussions about tolerance, gay rights, pro-choice etc. I am managing to raise a republican. My son is 14 and lately the stuff he says is pissin me off. Negativity towards Obama (not legitimate issues) gun issues etc. The flameful is that I am going to do everything in my power to get him to see the liberal side of things until he is 18 or leaves my home. I he doesn't change by that time I will respect his right to have his own opinions about things but will silently be annoyed.

How did this happen, I feel like a failure!

DH is going next week to visit his sister and her new baby and I can't go because "work".
Really, I just don't want to go.

I've never gotten along with his sister. And even though it's totally irrational, it makes me feel sad/angry/all the things that she didn't want a second kid and got pregnant and I want one so bad and am defective.

He's 14.

Any time you try to push a teenager too hard in a certain direction, they will rebel.

Failure is dramatic. You should be happy your kid even shows interest in politics. Honestly.

I was being tongue in cheek about the failure comment. He's a good kid and I am happy he's discussing politics and current events at all.

my3boyz teenage hormones+rebelling against you?

Probably not so much rebelling as wanting to have his own independent thoughts and ideas on things. And in all fairness, outside of the gun rights stuff he hasn't really said anything bad about other people so I can live with that.
