One where dark chocolate resides ... as well as a lucky five year old boy.Valerie Willmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258181592488349168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969861500179304121.post-78453071705177299082011-08-05T20:19:13.106-07:002011-08-05T20:19:13.106-07:00Ok, so I tried to leave a comment with my Iphone ...Ok, so I tried to leave a comment with my Iphone and had it all done then poof! gone. Jesus I hate that. Let's try this again. So in our house, or should I say our 'red tent', love that book by the way, we call it our "moon". We also call the vagina a yoni because according to my lesbian daughter the word vagina actually means 'sheath for a sword'. Now I am sure you are thinking, "why the hell is she referring to it as our house". I currently live with three of my four beautiful, curvy, wonderful, insane and currently able to bleed daughters. We are very shortly moving in with the fourth one. Insane, but worth it. Anyway, now remember that lie everyone tells you about how if you get more than one woman in a room we instantly all synch up on our periods like some sort of mythical group of bloody witches? Well, it's just that, a LIE. We have five bleeding women and four weeks a month. You do the math. I can tell you from experience that if two of us are on our moon together, it is a total accident. Back to the question at hand, how do we 'deal' with the symptoms of impending bleeding? Here is the list: lots and I mean lots of dark chocolate, every and any feminine blood catcher ever made and in mass quantities, an entire shelf of everything from the Dive cup to the U tampon is on that shelf, Epsom salt baths, Mary Jane and lots and lots of patience. That last one is mostly on my part because when your range of bleeders, ooh I like the similarity to breeders there, is from eleven to thirty nine, you are pretty safe to say the eleven year old is NOT patient. It is pretty much our own personal red tent here and to prove it I can tell you that there are four men in our lives, my wonderful ex-husband, a current boyfriend, my son-in-law and a five year old grandson. As for them, all of them work out of town, well except for the five year old, he just steers clear of pretty much everybody all the time. I do think for whatever its worth that if he grows up to be a man who loves women, they will be lucky women. He will have all sorts of coping skills!eli munroenoreply@blogger.com
