Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Short and Sweet Random Thoughts


I have decided that after giving birth to two babies.
Each weighing in at nearly 10 pounds.
My bladder can no longer be trusted.
Hearty laughter, sneezing and jumping on trampolines are all activities which should be done with extreme caution.

...just so you know!

Lora said...

this is why I ALWAYS wash before wearing new pants.

one time I sneezed in the dressing room...

in a pair of pants that didn't really fit well enough to buy...

HEATHER said...

AMEN!! oh the joys of motherhood never end! =)

Amy said...

Yeah...me too :)

Thank you for sharing.

Jennifer said...

Ah, friend. My bladder and I are currently in a love/hate relationship...

Vegas Linda Lou said...

Hmmm... good to know. I'll be sure to give you a heads up if I'm going to post anything extremely funny!

Poor you, though. I hope it's not too much of a pain for you.

Ha ha! I can totally relate, which is why I have not been on a trampoline since giving birth to my first 6 years ago. ;)

Lipstick Rules said...

You made my day with this post! I can relate ;-)

Trampolines are out of bounds for me too as is running - oh the joys, but hats off to you as my heaviest was only a mere 8lbs 1oz.

I still have bladder control after two 10 pounders. But, I do have hemorrhoids. I hate just typing that word. Harder to type than penis. Also gross!!!

ModernMom said...

LOL Love the honesty that one little random confession brings out! You girls rock!
Lora-I vow from now on I will always wash pants after purchase:)

I'm a member of the TWBC, teeny weeny bladder club.

Busy Bee Suz said...

Learning lessons the hard way again huh???

Veronica Lee said...

Welcome to the club! You forgot screaming. I leak even when I shout or cough!!

Kelloggsville said...

my fitness trainer doesn't understand that me & my pelvic floor muscle are no longer united. He shouts bounce higher and I'm thinking not if I want my bladder to hold out!

Buckeroomama said...

Oh, hilarious!!

Amy said...

Yep, I know the feeling!

Donnie and Kristen said...

OMGosh, I feel like this after only one 8lb12ozer, I can't even imagine 2!!! Ahhh! Well, it's all worth it!

Adventures In China said...

Okay, if I ever have kids and this happens to me, I'll know I'm in good company.

I love your attitude!

Vegas Linda Lou said...

Holy! At 51, I'm feeling pretty lucky--must be all the yoga. You might want to give it a try; it involves a lot of pelvic floor work.

@ Hit 40: I can't stand the word "penis," either. Sounds gay, no? (Not homosexual gay, lame gay.) (Well, maybe both.)

T~T said...

oh dear girl - jumping on trampolines is FORBIDDEN!!!! I learned that after baby #3!!

Tami said...

=X LOL, I thought I was the only one who suffered when I jump rope! I gave it up. laugh,I tried to give that up. didn't go over well. I jog, I have puddles!

Mutants are what I call them! mine too were all over 10 pounds ouch.

Susan said...

Oh, I so hear you! And I can't make it through the night without getting up!!!?? How depressing.

Me said...

Amen to that!

Lizzie said...

very true :)

Darcel said...

So true! I love Motherhood.

Working Mum said...

10lb each? Oh my!

Pokerfacemom said...

I know the feeling. If it makes you feel any better, I had two 6 pounders and the moon shines the same over on this side too.

Kristin said...

I've only given birth to one, albeit GIANT, baby and I'm right there with you!

lz said...

Don't forget about not leaving the house if you feel like you have to pee at all...can go from zero to sixty these days...

Kat said...

We are in the same leaky boat! ha ha
