What's That You Say, Mrs. Robinson?

Passing 8th Grade Science

Since I have an 8th grader, I decided to take this little test..."Could you pass 8th grade science?" I must say that I am most pleased with myself. Science was one of my favorite subjects. I'm just surprised I remembered so much. I feel much more confident helping D with his homework, now!

You Passed 8th Grade Science

Congratulations, you got 8/8 correct!

Abortion Ban

It is time to turn this fight up several notches. South Dakota has just banned abortion in most circumstances. Read more here...

I never thought I would say this, but thank goodness our legal system will have this ban tied up in court for many years before it actually goes into effect. I wonder what Governor Rounds would do if his wife were raped and became pregnant and then had to slink across the border to have an abortion that her husband outlawed?

Here is at one place where you can begin to take action. Planned Parenthood will no doubt fight the good fight. This is going to be a long and devicive battle.

Pain in the ASS!

Just had to share with you all...My ass hurts and I have a headache. I got my Depo Provera shot this morning and it really hurt this time. I also forgot to take my Advil before the shot, hence the hormone induced headache. The joys of contraception. Although, now that I think about it, since I haven't had cramps or a period in about 12 years, I guess I should shut the hell up before all of you PMSers assasinate me.

It still hurts.

Zits/ So, I'm on a roll, big deal

Ok, so this is my 3rd post in about 1/2 hour. Grace told me to go ahead and blog while the wine is flowing, and now everything seems interesting.

So, my oldest son (who is 13, will be 14 in Dec.) just asked me to pop a zit for him. Ok, my husband is now going "oh my god, you are going to write about this?" Yes honey, women like to share experiences, guys skip this one, you won't care.

So I did the whole sanitary thing, washed my hands, had him get an Oxy Clean Pad ready. And then, I did it! I took his not so little chin in my hands and I used my years of experience to pop that sucker! I explained (in a very clinical way) what I was doing. "You don't want to hurt yourself, just get rid of the white stuff in the zit." I had him gently dab the area with his Oxy Clean Pad afterwards. The cutest thing was what he said just before I did it: "Is it going to hurt?" As much of a MAN as he is trying to be, he still wants to know if he is going to experience an "owey." The funniest thing about the whole thing was when I had to stop and ask him "Which one" in regards to which zit I was supposed to pop. His response: "The big monster one."

Priceless.
