I was going to tell you a story…

I was going to tell you a story…

But I showered instead.

The four day old crust was begging to be sloughed off.

Then I was going to tell you a story again…

But I ate something.

I’ve learned to shove my face when I have any spare moment – a wild animal.

Then, this one time, I was going to tell you a story…

But with the sleepy sleepy I fell.

I am a bottom dweller on Maslow’s pyramid of needs.

“breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion”

You’d be surprised at the ones I’m missing.

I have a story for you.

In fact, I have five.

But the sleepy sleepy is calling again…

or maybe personal hygiene should take precedence…

and that glass of water is too far…

forget it…

I hear a baby crying anyway.

Or is that me?

I’ve got so many stories for you.

But at this moment…

excretion wins.

 

 

Grown women should not have to pee their pants. Also, orgasms rule.

Welcome to the season of giving… of giving germs back and forth… of sharing colds, and the giving of viruses.

I am sick, ya’ll.

I’ve also been blessed with the ability to birth giant babies.

Henceforth, I pee every time I cough or sneeze.

I’ve already changed my undies three times this morning.  I knew at some point I would have to deal with potty training, but I never thought I would be training myself.

Yes, I know… kegels kegels kegels…

But seriously, you have to squeeze a hundred times a day to make a difference, and with a toddler and newborn – I hardly remember to brush my teeth.  I’m freaking busy, people!

Oh, you know where to put it.

My pelvic floor is gonna be a superhero.

The folks over at Intimina have developed a line if intimate wellness products, and among them is this Laselle Kegel Exerciser.

This little baby is slightly weighted and is worn discreetly during daily activities, i.e., running around like a headless chicken making sure everyone else is taken care of before myself.  This ball also causes “gentle kinetic vibrations to help prompt the pelvic floor muscles to respond as the wearer walks around”.

Here’s some of the benefits of using the exerciser:

  • Prevent and treat continence problems
  • Build muscles essential to pregnancy and delivery
  • Help speed recovery after labor
  • Ease the symptoms of menopause
  • ENHANCE YOUR ENJOYMENT OF INTIMATE ACTIVITIES

Did I accidentally capitalize that last one?

You can find the line of products online here at:

But you know what?

Because it’s the season of giving, and because I love my lady readers (and guys – trust me, a happy lady really is a gift for you too), Intimina is gonna give one of you a Laselle Kegel Exerciser (28g) plus a Feminine Moisturizer.  Make sure you go “like” them for being so awesome.

To enter, just go to my facebook page and leave this comment on my wall:

“I deserve super hero kegels!”

The giveaway is open until Tuesday, December 13th (midnight PST).

Because no woman should have to change her undies when she sneezes, coughs, or when someone says something really funny.

My binky. (8 lines)

Everything is topsy turvy.

Exhaustion… sobbing.

Anxiety… hopelessness.

Fists clenched… veins popping.

I reach for it.

Soft… comforting…

I squeeze it in my hands on the exhale.

My husband’s ass is my binky.

Dodge the water needles.

Dodge them for the love of God.

Soap and splash rinse…

Shimmy to the left.

Half turn to the right.

Make boob umbrellas with my hands.

This is how postpartum bathroom accidents occur…
