I lost my stupid lexapro. Its not the first time Ive done this. I stop taking it and the first week and everything is fine, then the second week hits me like a pound of bricks. It's like I'm floating, my head vibrates, and nothing makes sense to me. Awful Awful withdrawls. Must find me lexapro. Now. I'm also calling in for more codiene - because I like it damnit. I am not inlove with the concerta either, I want my adderall back too, I miss it muchly. Lalalalaaaaa.
Oh yeah, I'm leaving for the beach in 2 hours. I'm leaving David with all the kids, dirty dishes, and unfolded laundry. I AM the scum of the earth.
March is National Women's History Month. What women are making history today?
Heather Mills. But only for doing Dancing with the Stars. I dont know anything about who she is or her political views, I dont need too. I think she rocks the world for doing this. She may not end up being in my childrens history books, but what shes doing is so much more important. I can't even imagine the impression she is leaving on girls like I was knooowing that there is no way theyd ever fit in anywhere b/c they werent whole. Just seeing her on television with prosthetics spread out all over the place and siiting there like she has nothing to be ashamed of is so so powerful. I am finally to a point where I am alllmost ll that comfortable, but I do still smind feel sometimes in the back of my mind feel a little self conscience when I wear shorts in public, or take my leg off at the pool. Heather is taking the stigma away though and making wearing a prosthetic as no rmal as being gay. And for that she has my utter respect.I still want to see her leg fly off though :) It happens to me all the time and it's hilarious, trust me. Thats another blog though.

In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?
Funny you should ask, I actually spend a lot of time thinking about this. I will share a few pics from my files that I love. :) I take bits and pieces of these pics and incoorporate them. My house is a disaster now, but I have the decorating itch baaaad.
What are some charitable causes that you support or would like to support?
Shriner's without a doubt. I donate a couple time a year and I will never ever be able to repay them for then they did for me and my family. I was burned in a house fire in 1981. I spent a lot of time being stabilized at the burn center at UNC in Chapel Hill, but after that Shriners was my home. They literalIy shaped me into the person I am today, not only physically but also mentally. They made my life possible, how can you return a favor like that?
I wished I lived close enough to one of the hospitals to volunteer, I know it would do my heart a world of good. Someday when I have more time on my hands I will devote much of it to the Shriners in some way.Here is what Wikipedia has to say about them...
Shriners Hospitals for Children is a network of 22 pediatric hospitals across North America that provide all care at no charge. Established in 1919 to treat children with polio and infections of the bone, the hospitals' treatment areas now include all pediatric orthopedics, including scoliosis, limb discrepancies, clubfoot, hip dysplasia, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, as well as cerebral palsy, spina bifida (myelomeningocele), and other neurological conditions that affect ambulation and movement. Three of the hospitals provide spinal cord injury rehabilitation that is developmentally appropriate for children and adolescents, with adventure and adapted sports programs, activity-based rehabilitation, aquatherapy, animal-assisted therapy, and other innovative programs. Four of the hospitals provide world-famous care for children with burns. Shriners Hospitals for Children - Chicago also provides treatment for children with craniofacial conditions, especially facial clefts. All care at at Shriners Hospitals is provided by interdisciplinary teams who work closely together to integrate the expertise of all the appropriate healthcare disciplines in one building. Transpotation to the hospitals is often provided free of charge by Shriner-drivers across the country. Children accepted for treatment become part of the Shriners Hospital system until their 18th birthday, and sometimes their 21st, eligible for both inpatient and outpatient treatment for all facets of their disability.
While the overwhelming emphasis of the hospitals is to provide medical care at no charge for children, the mission of the hospitals also includes research on the conditions treated and the education of medical professionals, including medical residents and fellows; nurses; physical, recreation, and occupational therapists; speech-language pathologists, psychologists, social workers, and child life specialists.
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the hospitals, known as "The World's Greatest Philanthropy," are owned and operated by the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, also known as the Shriners.
There is never any charge for treatment at a Shriners Hospital. There is no requirement for religion, race, or relationship to a Shriner. Patients must be under the age of twenty-one, and treatable.

Soo, I've been having some LAAAARGE poops lately, so big that they wont flush. (Hey, it's my blog, I can talk about whatever I want.) Anyway, I thought I'd google large bowel movement to see if I could figure out what was going on and THIS is what I find.

Anal Stimulation and Intercourse
The topic of anal stimulation and intercourse arouses curiosity in some due to the mysterious and taboo nature of an anal sexual experience. Others view anal stimulation and intercourse as a way to spice up their sex life. Exploring anal sex can offer a different kind of pleasure. And for some, anal play is forbidden. Only you can determine whether or not anal sex is right for you. Having accurate information is important in helping you make the best decision and in preventing pain and injury as a result of your sexual expression. As with any sexual activity, it’s important to have your partners consent before initiating anal stimulation or penetration.
Anatomy
It is important to recognize that an anus is very different from a vagina. Generally anal stimulation and intercourse affects the lower few inches of your colon, which includes the anus and rectum. One very important difference between the anus and rectum is that the anus has nerve endings which are capable of experiencing pain while the rectum does not. The sphincters or muscles that control bowel movements are located in the anus and lower rectum. These muscles are divided into the internal and external sphincter. The internal sphincter, which is adjacent to the colon wall, is an involuntary muscle that relaxes for a bowel movement to pass through. When you are far from a bathroom you depend on your external sphincter, a voluntary muscle that you can contract to prevent an embarrassing occurrence. While the internal sphincter relaxes when feces enter your rectum, it involuntarily contracts as a penis or other object attempts to enter from the outside. The relaxation and contraction of the internal sphincter allows you to pass large stools relatively painlessly. However, an inserted penis or sex toy of equal or smaller size may hurt because during initial insertion the object is pushing against the contracted internal sphincter. Once the internal sphincter relaxes, the experience can be more pleasurable.
Hygiene
While it is very important to make sure the anus is relatively clean, it’s also important to understand that an anus is an anus. It can’t be treated as a vagina. Instead of heavy and persistent wiping with toilet tissue, try gently wiping away fecal residue from the outer skin with a moist tissue, wet cotton balls or Tucks® pads. Avoid using baby wipes and other products that contain perfumes and dyes which can cause irritation. If you are concerned about feces that may remain in your colon after a bowel movement or if you cannot make a bowel movement prior to anal intercourse, do not use an enema or douche. Instead gently flush the area with a slender, tapered ear syringe. Fill the ear syringe with warm water and lubricate the tip. Insert into your anus and gently squeeze the bulb a few times. This uses much less water than an enema or douche and you’re much more likely to fully release the water and feces.
Avoiding Pain, Injury, Incontinence and Infection
Allow for foreplay. Foreplay can help you start to relax. Also, include safer-sex practices in your foreplay. Be sure to use a latex or polyurethane condom. Anal intercourse is among the riskiest sexual activities probably due to the fact that the rectal mucosal lining is very thin and can easily tear during anal sex. The mucosal lining absorbs water from the liquid waste of the small intestines and turns it into solid feces. The absorptive properties of the mucosal lining make it a prime entryway for infections, including HIV.
Unroll a condom on your partner. Using a water or silicone based lubricant, lubricate the condom and the outer anal area. Do not insert your fingers into the anus. Fingernails can sometimes cause more damage than a well-lubricated condom-covered penis. If the condom-covered penis is sufficiently lubricated, you will not need to use your fingers to lubricate the inside of your anus. It is also recommended that anal sex be initiated with the receptive partner on top. When on top, the receptive partner can control how quickly and deeply the penis is inserted based on the contraction and relaxation of the internal sphincter muscle. Lower yourself over your partner to the point where you feel discomfort. Remember, as the penis enters the anus, the internal sphincter contracts. Stay in this position, allowing your partner’s penis to apply a constant, gentle pressure on your internal sphincter. Generally, within 30 seconds to one minute the internal sphincter will tire and relax involuntarily. When you feel the sphincter relax you can further lower yourself onto your partner’s penis. After a couple of up and down movements your internal sphincter muscle will be sufficiently stretched and you can try other positions.
When a penis or object initially enters the rectum, it pushes against the internal sphincter, which contracts immediately. During the initial insertion, it is very important that the “bottom” or receptive partner have full control. If inserted too deeply, too quickly, the penis or object can cause pain or even push through the closed sphincter causing an anal tear. Although the threat of fecal incontinence from anal sex is small, it can occur from repeated injury to the internal sphincter. This occurs when a penis is repeatedly inserted through a contracted internal sphincter. Over time the muscle may be unable to properly seal tightly, resulting in fecal incontinence. Rates increase with fisting and insertion of large sex toys into the anus.
Additional Tips
Anal stimulation and intercourse can be pleasurable for both partners if you follow a few simple rules:
- If it hurts, don’t do it.
- Listen to your partners and respect their wishes.
- If you start to experience pain or notice blood, stop immediately.
- Always use safer-sex devices such as condoms, gloves or finger-cots. Finger-cots are devices resembling male condoms, typically used to cover cuts and open wounds on fingers. They are usually found in the wound care and bandage section of the drug store.
- Use a new latex condom with each sexual act if alternating between anal and vaginal sex.
- Do not pass sex toys back and forth between partners.
- Avoid fisting and inserting very large sex toys into the anus.
- If complications arise, visit an understanding healthcare provider.
Now, I am not a college person. Maybe some of you can help me out here - is this normal???????????

Show us something you cannot leave home without.
Submitted by Quornflour
My leg. I never leave home without it. :)
I'm determined, damnit. I WILL grow enough veggies to feed an entire village. I will can them for the winter. I will have a cottage garden with cutting flowers out the ying yang. My kids will be completely proficient in horticulture and gardening is going to be something the whole family will bond through and enjoy together.
So, so far we've got seeeeds and seeds and seeds. The girls and I went to walmart and I let them fill the cart with the little .10 cent seed packets - I mean how much could that cost, right? We got a grape vine, a hydrangea cutting, an elephant ear bulb, annd a gardenia plant. And Ooooh I dont know 500 seed packets. Our total was $85. We're going to have some explaining to do when dad gets that bill.
I'm a bit conflicted on the cottage garden, which will be mostly flowers and herbs. At first though I was going to just mix allll the seeds together in a jar and spread them everywhere - now I am leaning more towards just having groups of the same everywhere. I need a fence too, whats a cottage garden without a picket fence, right? That's that.
Then theres the veggie garden. Gotta get a tiller out here soon, then Im going to make raised beds with a frame of wood around the entire plot and twine or chicken wire or something to keep the deer out. It need to be BIG too, like a half an acre or more. :) I still cant decide how to lay it out though, David is pushing for the roman garden type layout. That might work, we shall see.
Oh yeah, we have a kitchen garden too - which is basically every seed that comes from anything we eat planted. We did a garlic bulb and man the are growing FAST. We've got a sweet potato and a avacado started, apple and cantelope seeds waiting to go underground, annnd last night I got a pinapple and mango to try. Oh and ginger. fun stuff, I tell you. :)
I'm spending waaay too much time pouring over library books, magazines, websites, our poor neighbor is a master gardener - I know she must be getting so sick of me. Were going garden journals too, the girls are really excited about hers, and Annmarie is doing awsome with hers! She's been taking the seed packs after we plant them and drawing a pic of the veggie/flower/whatever and copying the name.
It's just all so fun, I can totally see us on this land for a long long time, and the thought of planting grapes that my grandkids might eat someday or annuals that Aldrin my use to make a bouquet for his date just makes me feel more meaningful somehow. Then there is my strange need to be completely self sufficient, David and his wood heated water heater and making his own biodiesel and me and my gardening and everything. It's just refreshing. :)
Annnnnnnd then there's the road side stand dream. "Just got laid" Fresh eggs, soaps made from my milk goats milk, plants and flowers, bread made in the outdoor brick oven david is going to build me, and you know - veggies. :) Someday, someday.
If any of yall have pics, I'd LOVE to see your gardens! ....or roadside stand.
