Give me a comment! (please)

Okay, so I have been writing in my blog for almost 5 months now, and I have yet to get a comment. So, if you're reading this, please hit the comment box and say "Hey I ready your crumy blog".

Thanks!

Anyway, business is booming and I am getting some new ideas for next year. Right now, my dance studio resides in a private Catholic High School. I have a dance class called cardio cabaret and the principal of the school thinks the title alone is a litte riska'.

But, the class that I really want to offer will never fly! Guess what it is? Pilates...nope. Aerobics...no no no. Tap...absolultly not! It is.....POLE DANCING!!!! I know right...you would totally attend except for that little thing called your morals. Don't worry, it will be very tasteful. I will be teaching and I have no stripper experience.

I'm getting a pole installed in my home this week so I can brush up on my skills. I don't know where to put it because it might become quite the conversation piece.

Anyway, this is my dream....open a brand new dance stuio in a prime location (close proximity to a Wal-Mart) and totally help all of the mormon housewives feel naughty while still getting their exercise.

The family is great, friends are still weird. Let me tell you that I pick some interesting friends. I won't go into it because they might read my blog someday and I will feel very very bad.

Oh yeah! Our sewer line got clogged today and all of our dish water, bath water and yes...our shit (excuse my french) was coming up through the bathtub drain. It was very very nasty, but the drain company came out and did their thing...and now all is well in the Burroughs household.

How was that for inspirational?

Trying to get pregnant

The last time my husband and I decided to get pregnant, we had "intercourse" once without protection. Then, we chickened out and used protection the next time we "did it".

Well, we're ready to get pregnant again. We started "trying" just days before he left to go hunting (2 weeks ago). Well, I'm starting to be super sensitive to smells, my asthma has come back, and I feel bloated all the time....oh and my face is filled with acne.

I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. If I am, it will be the last child I have (intentionally). So I want to do all the things I never got to do with my other pregnancies. I would like to not tell anyone that I am pregnant until I am at least 3 months along (except for my husband)...I don't know why, I guess it would make me feel like a celebrity with my entire family on bump watch. I would also like to get 3D ultrasound and possibly even have a natural childbirth. I also want to go into labor naturally. I always get started with pectosin. This time, I want the drama of water breaking, grabbing our bags, speeding to the hospital...and all that.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the natural labor thing. My friend K. did it for 8 hours and it looked very painful. She was 3 weeks overdue ( I know, I know....but she is raised in a weird household where it's okay to let your baby poop inside the woomb and swallow it....therefore, risking it's life)...so anyway, the baby was too big to come out so they did a c-section. I have never had a c-section and I never will.

I don't understand the whole "opting for a c-section". I guess that women don't want their vagina being stretched out...they would rather have an ugly scar on their belly....and yes, it is ugly. Every c-section scar that I have seen makes the womans lower stomach fat go to un-normal places. So, if you can have a vaginal birth, you should. Let nature do its thing....babies aren't meant to be cut from you. It remindes me of Charles Manson.

So anyway...there's my two bits for the day. Wish me luck on baby making!

Mr Hot finally came home

Mr Hot, my husband, came home early yesterday from his week long hunting trip. I was so glad to see him. Teenie E. was driving me crazy and basically, I just missed my other half.

He shot his deer and it is the biggest one that anyone in his family has shot. It was a very wide 4 point (4 on each side). When they took the meat from the deer, they hung it upside down and filled its' guts with water to help the blood and groseness drain out it's mouth and nose. Well, the deer had a cold or something. All the water that they put into the deer never came out. He was congested so everything went down to his face and made it extremely swollen. The taxidermist said that it was the most disgusting thing he has ever had to work on.

Anyway, so we went to my brother in laws house last night to get his deer and take it to the taxidermist. I stayed behind at his brothers house to hang out with his wife and let Teenie E. play with her cousins. I have never really cared for my sister in law....but after hanging out with her for 4 hours, I decided that she wasn't so bad. In fact, she and I are going to go together to a family trip in Park City to stay in a cabin and go see a play. I know.....it's very grown up of me right?

Anyway...that's all for today.

Here's my positive and negative of being a birth mother. By the way, I gave birth to my birth son over 7 years ago.

Positive: I was able to date freely. I could pretty much date anyone I wanted because I wasn't tied down with a baby and baby daddy drama. When I say I could date anybody, I mean that I could date anybody who was okay with a few stretch marks :)

Negative: My babies birth father and I have a bond because we had a child together. Unfortunately, we never talk because there isn't really a baby present that forces us to see each other. It's kind of sad because we do have that bond....but each of us must ignore that bond and move on with our lives.
