I have been seeing a guy over the last little while that I really quite like. However, I am starting to notice something. While in the past I used to be capable of being into one person at a time...I'm not anymore. Actually...I mett a super sweet guy on the bus home from the city this weekend(post 24 hours of MAMA TIME!) and we're going out this weekend.

I don't know why my libido is on overdrive like this. I am wondering what you Mamas think about this. I think if everyone is open an honest, maybe having a few lovers might not necessarily be a terrible thing. I know some friends of mine run this way and all seem to be quite happy.

So...
I have a new partner these days, and have been wondering to myself which avenue for birth control to take. I (ashamedly) will admit that I am always so effing terrible with condoms. I don't really know why. I have a tendency to get lost in the heat of the moment, I guess. Irresponsible, yes...but honest.

I have a Mirena IUD up in my drawer that I had gotten not long after Bear was born and still never had it put it. I have an appointment tomorrow to go have it inserted, since it will be day two of my period...but I'm TERRIFIED. I have read a lot of horror stories about them...and I really don't want to have huge cramps from insertion and a lot of bleeding this weekend because I am going out (one of the rare Mama nights *grin*). I am also a little wierded out by the hormone idea.

Pre-Bear I had used a pill, which I forgot to take half of the time, anyways(ohhh, those old stoner days..)...but they sent me for a real loop. I was grouchy ALL the time and had no sex drive whatsoever. At all. NONE. And I am a sex lover. So I'm counting pills out.

What have you ladies tried?? What would you recommend or not recommend??

Alright Mamas...I need some of those super powered vibes of yours!

I am very tired of being a tropical animal living in a temperate climate. I neeeeeed to get mine and Bearmans hiney's to Brasil...for the sake of my sanity! Howvever, there is the small pebble in my shoe that is his father.

Hello Mamas!
Jeepers! it has been so long since I've been here! Crazy summer, crazy fall...I hope all is well here in Mamaland, I'll get to reading everything soon! I'm hoping to get back on here, I miss my mama support village!

Where to start? the

Well...
I can';t even lie and say I've been lurking!
Although HM is still my homepage, I haven't looked here in so long! I've missed you! MotorMouth, you're PREGGO, you fantastic woman! I am thrilled!
There are so many new babies in and out bellies here that I feel like I've missed so much!

So much has gone on with us, as well! Bear is WALKING! All on his own! He can walk across an entire room now!And he just learned to drink from a straw! My Baby! He's getting so big! He keeps taking up more and more and more of our bed!

Speaking of bed...
coff coff..
I've even got a man these days Its fresh and new..it feels G.L.O.R.I.O.U.S!!!

Fiiiiirst of all...the site looks fabulous Way to go, techies!

I've been guilty of lurking lately (again). Reading, but not saying anything. Partially because I have nothing to say, and partially because Mash got me started on the Twilight series and I became so addicted that doing anything else besides reading once Bear was in bed seemed like a complete waste of time. Talk about escapism... Great books though!

Hello Mamas,
I've been guilty of being a lurker lately, not feeling like I have much to add to anything.

I need to say this right now, in regards to my current situation:
I. HATE. LIARS.
hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate
particularly ones I've dated. particularly the one that is the father of my son.

We're going through court right now, I have stuck to the truth from the very beginning. And about 90 percent of everything he has said has been an outright lie. Not even just a different POV, but actual lies. Mainly trying to make me look as bad as possible.

i just wanted to share this video

It's April 5th, we woke up and opened the curtains to see...A SNOWSTORM?! No frigging way!

so...we took a little day trip to Carpet Cove and Bathtub Bay

Snow...in April...

All set for the "beach"

its saturday night and...

i am soooooo effing lonely!
I just want to cry sometimes. I want a hug! An adult to talk too! A big person to snuggle up with me and my little person! some F**King SEX! argh!

Bear has got this rash thing on his bum and I can't figure out what it is or what to do about it. At first, I thought it was yeast, because he had a bad yeast infection when he was about 2 weeks old, only this time it wasn't all bumpy. I was using the same diaper balm I always had..a natural one with some good oils, calendula and a few other things, but this time, it didn't make it go away.

A documentary on Obama and how he's probably the puppet of high-level bankers and being used to usher in a New World Order

Check it out if you've got a spare two hours, its interesting. Biased, but interesting.

Some updates and a question: What is YOUR power song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s1r_ksv2Qk (I can't embed the official footage)

A friend of mine performed at the Juno's last night (Canadian Music Awards) with Great Big Sea and Hawksley Workman(who I lurrrrvvvve)! Check out the guy with the BIG hand drum in the back in the purple shirt, big dreads and fedora, thats him!

Yay! He did amazing!

I've been having some really vivid and intense dreams lately. I am wondering if anyone here knows anything about dreams, or could even just offer any insight onto what you think?

Here is the email that BD's girlfriend lady sent me today, out of nowhere, I havent spoken to her since I was preganant. Do I wear a big sign that says "Please be a bitch to me" or "I love drama!" on my head? I can't see it... Seriously, she's sooooo rude.

However, I am not even dignifying this with a response...I just sent it to my lawyer, and that is all.

I haven;'t been around much lately because I;m trying to break my computer addiction, but I needed to get some in put on this one:

How do you deal with nosey parents/in-laws?

this is what is on my mind this evening. What is on yours?

1. I am a bit confused by the layout of this site right now. I just got back on the computer today after being sick since Wednesday and BAM! Different. I will have to orient myself around here once again

oooo Mamas, the prospect of a new living arrangement is on the horizon for Bearboy and I!

I just have to do this, because I think this picture is perfect (of course, I am his mama...)My wee boy is 9 months old, it's hard to believe!

(for the record, he actually has SIX teeth..and a few more on their way)

Mamas, something totally wierd happened totally, and something I think is quite unacceptable regarding BD's visits.

Please read the letter below, and if you have any ideas to what should/shouldn't be included, let me know...I'm not used to writing concerned letters because I usually just shut my mouth about stuff...but today this REALLY irked me.

To the Co-ordinators of (place name),

Welcome to the Aquarian Age, Mamaloves! At 7:25am(UT)this morning, the Moon in Libra entered the seventh house, Jupiter and Mars aligned in Aquarius(Complete alignment lasted 18 minutes)! The next 2,150 or so years belong to the Aquarians...here`s hoping for a world of peace and Love and evolution alright..alright...sing it!

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond
