DotMoms Post: The Big Month
My newest piece is up at DotMoms called, The Big Month…
For years, I wanted to have a third child but someone never wanted it. That’s right. I wanted a baby but my husband most certainly did not. His reasons were always good, too good. We had two kids already, we were both in college, kids […]

Once upon a time, I thought my dear husband would freeze and refuse to emit forth the life-giving elixir. Once upon a time, I thought he would either refrain alltogether or at the last moment jump away in fear, only to dump the stuff on my thigh.
Once upon a time, I was apparently wrong. It’s […]

Google Smackdown Mon…Tuesday Again
Dear reader who found my site whilst googling, “molds to make babies,”
Holy shit, that seems so much easier than my big long plan. I planned on making babies by way of the following:
1. Get over this damned yeast infection and wait until my sister is properly wedded and bedded later on this month. There […]

And, it’s an awesome book that assumes you are an adult with an intelligent mind without assuming you have a degree in obstetrics. Of course, I am not yet pregnant nor our we to the point of trying. Soon, however, very soon we will begin this weird process of trying […]

Players: Mike and Melissa
Scene: Target, shopping for school items during Missouri’s tax-free school supply holiday and taking a wee break hunting for an adequate flaxseed omega-3 supplement without contaminants.
Mike: Did you see that?
Melissa: No. God, what did you see?

Since I’m Not Sleeping Anyway, Let’s Talk
Right now, I’m on my period.
Congrats if you didn’t click away.
But really, I’m sharing something real with you. Sure, it’s gross, but it is what it is. It’s not “the visitor,” it’s not “Aunt Flo,” whatever. I’m on my period. There are tampons involved. I’m over it.
It’s my second to […]
Further Proof of our Differences

Typically, we buy the Mondo Tampax Box. 100 count.
It took me years to get to the point where I could buy tampons […]
