What to say, what to say

This dad called me recently with concerns about his daughters. They're twins. His wife found them standing on a wet bathroom floor giggling. Sounds like normal twin girl stuff, right? The wet bathroom floor and the giggling was apparently because they were peeing on each other and thought it was hysterical. He did not think it was funny.

  2. totally kidding. that's awful. your parents read this. i have no idea how old your sisters are. my brother and i used to pee all over each other all the time. we are very sucessful adults and stopped peeing on each other when my parents deemed it time to stop letting us bathe together.

  3. also, I had to change TWO lightbulbs yesterday and I almost threw up twice. I was in a cold sweat the whole time.

    THe first one took four tries. I peed twice during the whole ordeal. Pooped once. WTF is wrong with me? us? do normal people have this problem? I had to triple check the ones I removed. Double check the one that was waiting to be put in. I woke up in the night twice to make sure that the ones I installed were installed correctly.

  4. Lora, you have a husband and a toddler and I'm sure there have got to be flashlights. Why would you change the lightbulbs? I can't imagine what would make me do it. I've asked friends and even a strange neighbor. Which might have been more dangerous than changing the lightbulb. But I was willing to accept the risk.

    I have a brother who is 6 years older. No peeing, just punching. I pooped in the bathtub with my cousin once though. She didn't think it was funny. She still doesn't think it was funny. I kinda do though. Also thought the twins peeing was funny.

  5. Is there a lightbulb changing phobia? I've never heard of that! The CFLs you put into an empty pasta jar and seal. Provided that someone hauls out the step ladder, I'll change your lightbulbs. I'm not cleaning up after the kiddos though. I'll just laugh and shut the door.

  6. What do you do with them after they're sealed in a pasta jar?

  7. Take to a recycling center! Or Home Depot. I'll do a quick post with linky links.

  8. Our recycling center doesn't take them. I've checked.

Home birth- The real fuckin deal

So the end of pregnancy is for the fuckin birds. I'm sure plenty of you out there know this. There's nothing to say but that you're sick of being pregnant. You're a little sick of the sweet smiles and knowing looks from strangers. You're just all over sick of it. You're spectacularly sick of the: when's your due date how far are you are you having a boy or a girl I bet you're sick of this what hospital are you going to, conversations. You miss when people used to ask about the soccer game you played or the book you're reading. You're sick of swollen handsfeetfaceneckanklesEVERYTHING. Oh and from the beginning of pregnancy until FRIDAY, I had NO stretch marks. Friday my entire lower abdomen erupted into one. giant. stretch mark. So all weekend, I thought, please let this be over soon. Every cramp I felt I welcomed and thought, "whatever work my body does now, it doesn't have to do during labor." Little did I know how much

Having Babies at Home

My whole life, I've heard the story of my cousin Anna's birth. And her sister's too. But I hear more about Anna's. My aunt didn't exactly have a lot of love for the medical profession. And her first baby had been a horrible experience. She'd had him wrenched from her at least as much as she "gave him up" for adoption by nursing staff who leered at her and called her unpleasant names. And she loved him when he was born. And she found him when he turned 18 and loved him till the day she died. When she had kids for keeps, she did it differently. She read books and assigned duties and had them at home. She was brave and surely faced many people who disagreed with her decision. But she stuck by her convictions and her desire for a natural birth and won 2 beautiful girls. My mom was there when Anna was born. So was her sister, Kristina. They both still get this sparkle in their eyes whenever they talk about it. My mom says it was one of the most
