Pee Pee, Dipsee, Poody Poo, you name it...

So...

Ya'll know how I like to get all in depth and personal on this em' here blog...

But is there a limit to just how personal one lonely, late night blogger should become?

I guess we're gonna find out!

My sister suffered an injury to her posterior region on the first day of our cruise last month. Since that time the aforementioned region of her buttocks and you-hoo has been a daily, if not hourly concern and topic of conversation with both friends, family, hospital staff, hair stylists and heaven knows everyone and anyone who dare asks, "What happened?" I cant begin to say how thrilled I am that my sister is finally starting to get back up on her feet (quite literally) after nearly six weeks of very restricted movement. I also cant begin to say how thankful and proud I am of my Mother, who has watched and tended that wound so fiercely I'm sure even Nurse Ratchett wouldn't have dared question her dedication.

Through it all my sister has had to withstand more discomfort than I could possibly imagine but surprisingly enough, having to divulge the rather intimate and private nature of her injury has not been one of them! Though that is not to say its not been a little awkward for others! It is always interesting to see who is able to speak opening and frankly about it in medical terms vs those who just cant find the words to begin to preface a question that involves terms for the "nether regions" ... then of course there are those who stick to the four-year-old's versions... like wee wee or bum hole.... Or "buttocks" like Forrest Gump ("I was shot directly in the butt-ocks!")

Like a woman who's gone through childbirth some times you hit a point in life where you just cant be bashful about the female form... and yet, despite six weeks of having to talk about it I still find myself saying things like "dipsee" (as a friend calls it) or "poody poo" as it's known to another friend...

I'm a little ashamed that as a 27-year-old woman I'm still so juvenile when it comes to discussing the female form... though I'm sure there are those who'd argue that it's indecent and unladylike to even write this?

Are you comfortable discussing anything and everything? Did you change after you had children?

Or is this all just far too personal?

Bon Voyage!

Sorry I havent been keeping up with either of my blogs... I've been busy.... or more accurately, my mother has been busy getting ready for a trip and I've been helping her not be so busy by trying to help her out as much as I can...

You see, tomorrow my Mom is getting on a jet plane! And flying to a far away land! Not to return for 24 days!!

For the next three weeks she will be cruising the coast of South America, zip trekking across a rain forests (!!!) and lounging by a pool in the hot sun!

And you know what? She totally deserves it! I just love when my Mom gets to do all the things she's always dreamed of doing... but couldnt because she was stuck raising us punks!

So please send my mom some jingles for great trip and a safe return.

Thanks!

Why do I always feel like singing this song?

Home Again...


Well, I haven't been around the past few days because I've been away with my Mom helping her with some work things. We had a great little road trip, but then, I always have a great time when I get to hit the road with Mom. I am heading out the door now to go riding! I rode on Monday as well. More to come on that later.
