Sex and more

There is more sex talk in my Women’s Health Magazine newsletter then there ever is about actually health for women. Honestly! WH Mag seems to think sex will make everything better, from a woman’s period to headaches. Yes, no longer can that excuse be used! With that said, I think that is why I continue to get it. The fun spin they put on sex!

Last week my newsletter listed the Top 3 Women’s Sexual Fantasies. Now, of course knowing that I would eventually talk about it, I of course can’t find the stupid link, not even on the site. If I remember correctly, they are something like this:

1. Being overpowered during sex
2. Watching others have sex
3. Being watched during sex

I stumbled upon another list at iVillage and their list goes something like this:

1. He’s a virgin, and you are teaching him
2. He’s your sex slave
3. You’re abducted by a stranger

So, that right there tells you that women either:

1. Have no clue what they want because two well known sources can’t even come up with a list remotely alike.
2. Women know exactly what they want, we all just want something different.
3. Women just like to keep everyone on their toes and guessing!

I guess we will never truly know, cause I’m not telling

Train tracks

Kids can be cruel. Even if you believe your child is the purest of all angels, children in general are mean to kids that are or have something different. Now, I am only talking about braces, but it still apply’s today just like it did 20 years ago for me. Anyone that has had braces at one point has been made the brunt of a joke.

Recently, I have seen a change. So, what changed in 20 years? Today braces are a fun, neat things that no one cares about anymore. Did making fun of the kids get old? Or, is it because it is so common that no one really cares? Sure, a child looks silly with a set of new spiffy, shiny tracks on their bony looking grill, but honestly after a few days, it is as if the braces have always been there.

Mr C has had his braces on now for a little over a month and the only thing his friends are moaning about - the color of his bands on the brackets. They want him to get bright yellow, maybe green, the girls want him to get hot pink. I mean braces have become a fashion statement since my day of, “Do you want the metal look, or, well, the metal look?”

This week was a checkup for him. We went in and as usual he goes back for the checkup on his own and 30 minutes later here he comes with a mouth full of limeade. OMG! He had color all over. Yellow, green, pink. He had every color his friends asked for. His mouth was so bright that I guarantee if he slept with his mouth open, he would light up his room at night. WOW!

I have tried taking a picture of his glow-in-the-dark mouth, but he has not been very cooperative. He is NOT a picture taker at all, even if it is just his mouth. I can’t really get one at night while he is asleep either, since he has a loft bed taller then me, but I will continue with my effort. It is a sight to see!

What the heck is that?

Honestly, what the heck is coming out of her freaking ear? Miss K has been sick for a week now. Starting with swimmer’s ear, turned into an ear infection, then this past weekend bleeding from her ear. Rushed her to the Doctor - thankfully not a ruptured ear drum, but abrasions to her ear canal from the infection.

From this drop to that drop, to cotton in her ear, to an ear cover, to covering pillows at night time, a couple shots of acetaminophen now, to a couple of shots of ibuprofen later, you would think she has some sort of infectious disease that mankind has never seen before! When will the insanity STOP?

And Cranky? Whew! She might be 7, but she is all full of fire when she is sick. I am about ready to lock myself in the bathroom and take a shot of something for mom. This is one of those moments that a parent longs for the “cure all pill”. I know one will never be invented simply because scientist will be out of work, oh, but ‘what if’?

“What if” the cure all pill existed:

• We could take a bath instead of a shower
• We could pull up our pants before darting out of the bathroom
• Heck, we could use the bathroom alone without locking
• We would only do 1 load of laundry instead of 10 with sick-virus
• We could sleep for more than an hour at a time
• We could go a whole 5 minutes without being called for
• We could go a whole 3 minutes without whining
• We wouldn’t sweat to death from a child laying on top of us
• We wouldn’t have to wipe snot away
• We wouldn’t have to clean gunk from ears
• We wouldn’t have a throw up bucket by the sofa
• We wouldn’t find snotty tissues from last weeks cold

OK, the list could go on and on and on! But, in some weird way, these are the things that make parenthood all the more better!

Time to go take care of my sick one.

Relaunching fun

Two of my blogs, Simple Home Basics and The Parent Spot, are re-launching on Monday, August 4th. Yes, they are current blogs. Yes, they have great traffic. So why re-launch? Well, when both blogs were actually started I didn’t run out and push, promote and scream that they were alive and kicking. Now, I am!

On top of SCREAMING at the top of my lungs, I have been lucky enough to find some great sponsors that have offered awesome product for us to giveaway during our re-launch! A few of those sponsors are:

• Smart Mom Solutions
• New Baby
• The Six O’clock Scramble
• Change: A Starter Kit

Make sure when August 4th rolls around, you stop by and see what is up! Don’t worry, I will keep reminding you. BTW, no need to wait for August 4th, you can stop by whenever you’d like. We are always open for a chat or some feedback!

And, I am also not ashamed to ask, but if you would like to sponsor a giveaway on one or both blogs, then let me know. I LOVE to give stuff away
