You kidding? I'd hang around as a ghost just long enough to see the reactions! I'd be floating there going, "No, no left, go left. Okay, now open the box... HAAAAAA DID YOU SEE HER FACE?!! That was great. Okay, let's go."

N is for Naughty Dice

Out of court, and my SO now has a temporary custody order for la nina! The reason it's only temporary is that we have another hearing (yet to be scheduled) for permanent custody. Until then, we and the ex have to set up a visitation schedule with a local state-run facility. The judge wants to give the ex a chance to be a good mother, I guess. I'm not sure what he's thinking, since everything she's done and said since that day is either downright stupid or an obvious lie. Here's some of the more interesting stuff: 1) La nina wasn't badly bruised when she left that day, so my SO and I must have roughed her up more to make it worse before we took her to the hospital 2) We have been stalking the ex (!) 3) We are in a cult (confirms my suspicion about the visit from the cops) 4) My SO and I aren't married (which leads to, drumroll please...) 5) The ex's boyfriend is now her husband. That's right, she pulled the bail out of her ass somewhere and then almost immediately married him. Amazing. The guy beats your kid while coming down off a cocaine binge (yep, she knew. apparently she was coked up, too) and you turn around and marry the bastard?! The judge was actually speechless at that one. I swear it's like she's doing everything to ensure she doesn't get custody back. I wonder if it's subconcious or if she's really so dumb she thinks this is gonna get la nina this way. On another note, la nina is getting better. Slowly, but surely She still has screaming fits, but they're nowhere near as bad or as frequent as they were. The food hoarding is getting better as well, though we still find stuff under there. Plus, she's informed us that she doesn't think we're bad people like her mommy said. Yay for progress! Her therapist says she's doing well, though we're still worried about her nightmares. Unfortunately, he says there's really nothing we can do about them except soothe her when they happen I hate when she has nightmares. I mean, how do you protect someone from their own dreams? <sigh> Oh, a bit off topic but I have to share this incident, it was hilarious. La nina and I were sitting in the living room watching TV on Saturday. She's sitting to my side, but on the floor. I think to myself, "this is a nice bonding moment" and look over and smile at her. She sees me out of the corner of her eye, and faces me to smile back. Only problem was, she also had her finger jammed firmly up her nose while smiling at me Oh, well. I figure if that ends up being one of the worst things I have to deal with in a day, I'm in pretty good shape. Now, if they could just get that apartment open sooner... One thing at a time, I guess Thanks to everyone for the support and advice!

Yeah, unfortunately my SO and I haven't had much time alone lately. Everytime we think la nina is occupied and we try to sneak off for a bit, she figures out we're gone and will pound around looking for us... We haven't been successful for a while now I was talking to my mom about about it, and she just laughed and said, "Welcome to parenthood, honey"

My SO CAN lick his elbow. I watched him, it was gross.

You know that we're all our own worst critics, right? That painting is beautiful! The crows don't look 'gimpy' at all. Plus, the fact that you did that artwork from what you had on hand (the torn up ink filter from a marker) shows great resourcefulness on your part. It's awesome, and don't let anyone (yourself included) tell you any different

Thanks for keeping things in perspective!

I love going down on my SO. The noises he makes are awesome, and I have to say I get quite a bit of satisfaction when he starts saying my name The little cues are the best though. When I can feel his penis jerk slightly, or when his balls contract a little, or he just can't keep still. That's when I know he's having a good time The only thing I don't like is when he gets so excited going down on me that he gets a little too rough with my clit. It's hard for me to come back from that (pun intended).

Wow, those are beautiful! Nice work!

Mine had to be when I was 14 and living with my dad. My then boyfriend and I had just come back from a movie and were standing on my front porch. My dad had left the light off, so we kissed a little. Unfortunately, my boyfriend's brother and some of his friends had caught sight of us leaving the theater and followed us. They tore up the street with the windows down hooting and yelling crude things, which caught my dad's attention inside. He comes barreling out the door, but with the light off he didn't see us. He knocked both of us over into the flower bed (my boyfriend sprained his wrist, and we knocked heads). As soon as he figured out that the noise was due to my boyfriend's brother, he insisted that they were trash for doing that (he didn't like my boyfriend or his family anyway) and forbade me to see my boyfriend again! Of course, being 14, we just did the 'date at school' thing...

It's all a matter of preference. The first guy I was with thought it was horrible, my SO doesn't care one bit. It's whatever you're comfortable with. Even if sex on your period isn't your cup of tea, here's something interesting: In many women, an orgasm during your period will lessen menstrual cramps

Sounds like some of my realtives... Distant ones, of course...

I hope I don't get in trouble, but my favorite is one I got from another supplier. It's called the Wild G-Spot. It's a dual action with a beaver clit stimulator. The g-spot stimulator rotates/vibrates, and it has beads in the middle. It's my first rabbit-style vibe and I love it, but who knows? I might find one here I like better

Do you also have a bit of pain in the beginning? I have that problem because I tend to unconsciously tense my vaginal muscles (nice leftover from a nasty experience). It leads to being really sore and raw afterwards. No fun Could also be any number of other things, that's just another possibility.

What do you do for a living? Student Children? I've inherited a 5-year-old Pets? 2 kitties Tats/Piercings? 2 tats: One outline messed up by a guy I didn't go back to (need to get it covered), and a set of justice scales, both on my back. Piercings: 5 in one ear, 4 in the other, left nostril, thinking about a nipple piercing. What's in your CD player in your car? Bowie!!! ('Outside' album) Favorite TV show? Nothing in particular, though I do like 'Project Runway' and some shows on Adult Swim What are you reading? Court paperwork, school textbooks, and 'Trainspotting' by Irvine Welsh

Well, we're back from the child psychologist. He says he wants to see her a few more times to get a better overall view, but it looks like la nina has PTSD. He also thinks she might have ADHD, but he says he'll get a better feel the more he talks with her. I personally think ADHD is highly overdiagnosed, but then I'm not the expert. The good thing is, he says we've been doing the right thing when she has 'episodes' (rather than tantrums. good call, iha ). We talk to her and try to get her to explain what she is feeling rather than punish her. Nice to know we're getting things right so far... He also suggested we get family counseling considering the situation. My SO's been really hard on himself since it happened, "If only I did this, if only I didn't do that" kind of thing. I'm scared to death since I have very little experience with kids at all, let alone one with troubles like these. We got paperwork in the mail stating that the custody hearing is on 5/5. I didn't think it would be that quick, I don't know if the abuse has anything to do with it. We're just really nervous that the court will give la nina right back to her mother. Speaking of which, the cops showed up at our apartment earlier to do a 'welfare check' on la nina. Said they got a call that there was a child being neglected at our address, and that there were 'occult activities' going on. "Occult activities?", you ask. "Yep", I say. Pretty sure her mother was behind it, but of course the cops can't tell you who made the call... It's not their fault, we just cooperated and got the officers' cards. Yes, I documented that visit. I somehow get the feeling there will be more Our apartment complex has been really nice. They said they have another apartment coming open, but it won't be ready until the end of May. My roommate's none too happy and has acted kinda dickish about the whole thing. Not that she was a good friend before or anything, but still... Thanks again to everyone for all the info and support. We appreciate it

The Rose Bud is lovely little waterproof vibe about the size of your palm. The translucent red silicone sleeve has some very nice (and very useful) detailing. The sides are relatively smooth, with a bump or dip where the "petals" are, and the very tip has several little nubs (think the texture of a raspberry). All in all, rather pretty. Unfortunately I found that while the "multi-speed" dial works, it all feels like one speed to me. High. My nethers are a bit on the sensitive side, so it's not always bliss when a toy is on its highest setting. This, sadly, is one of those toys. It was actually painful to use the nubs on the tip. I'm very happy it had the smooth sides, though it was still a bit too much. I might see if it works better with the batteries run down a bit. Rose Bud operates on 4 button cell batteries (included), and claims to be waterproof. There is a small paper guide in the button compartment that shows you which direction the buttons go in, although it's pretty self explanatory. I have not yet tried the waterproof part, since I find the waterproof vibes I have tend to sound like motorboats once I get them in the tub. Speaking of noise, this vibe is not exactly quiet. Luckily, I was home alone when I tried this one out. Sorry to say, but this one is nicer for me to look at than it is to use. If you need/want alot of power for your vibes, Rose Bud may be right up your alley. For me, it's about a 2 out of 5 Rose Bud

Some good news: THEY NABBED THE BASTARD!! My SO's sister thought to keep up on our county's "Persons in Custody" page (i didn't even know those existed. silly, i know) and found out they picked him up early this evening. Plus, I managed to get la nina (sounds better than "the kid" ) bathed tonight without any tantrums! I never thought I would say that with pride. I know it won't last long, but it makes me think everything will be okay in the end. Thanks for the good thoughts and advice, everyone. We've decided we're going to get her in to see a child psychologist the second we can (we're still looking).

For the record: I used to like to think of myself as a low-drama mama. I think I have lost the right to make that claim. Also, I call the baby "the kid" because I don't want to use her name at the moment. I don't even know what the legal stuff is, but it's probably better I don't use names. Several days ago, my SO and I were awakened by the phone. I pick it up and get told by the guy on the other end he needs to talk to my SO now. I hand him the phone, and about 5 seconds later he's tearing around the apartment completely freaking out. Apparently, the guy on the phone was my SO's ex-wife's boyfriend. He was calling to apologize for beating up the kid my SO and his ex-wife share (for reference, he hasn't seen the kid except as and infant because the ex keeps playing head games with him and the courts. it's not for lack of trying. unfortunately, the state we live in has a habit of siding with the mother no matter what)! I don't even know how he got the number... So we throw on some clothes and go out to his ex's house, who won't let him see his kid. I call the cops and tell them what's going on, and they send out 2 cruisers. By the time they get there, the ex is screaming and bawling that we can't take the kid away because it's not that bad and we're not allowed to take her away. The cops tell her she doesn't have a choice in this, they have to see the kid at this point. My SO finally gets to see his poor kid, the kid's skinny and dirty. There is also a MASSIVE bruise covering the side of this kid's face! Needless to say, we took the kid to the hospital (she had a concussion) and got an emergency custody order the same day. Since there is no room for the kid at our apartment, we've been staying with his sister so his kid has a place to sleep... Over the last couple of days we've been finding out just how badly this poor baby was treated. The kid hoards food under her bed and screams at the slightest thing. The BAD tantrums are when she throws herself to the floor and forces herself to throw up so we have to clean it. The kid's spit in my face twice and said that before she left her mommy told her I'm a "bad lady" and the kid has to hate me and her daddy. We've spent most of our savings on clothing the kid and getting her checked out medically (physical and mental). We have to move now, since the apartment has no room for her. AND when we stop by the apartment, we find the answering machine has a freakin' billion hang up calls on it. The ex's boyfriend has a warrant out on him (they can't find him and the ex refuses to give him up), so we're waiting for them to nab him. We've found out throught the lawyer that the boyfriend has a long history of domestic violence and drug charges. The ex has already filed with the court to get the kid back. <shudder> My SO says no way in hell, and I don't blame him. Dear God, I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. That, and I feel like an episode of Jerry Springer...

As I was listening to some music last night, I was musing on why some songs seem "sexier" to me than others. Some make me want to jump my SO, others make me want to dance and feel good about being a girl. I made a list of my top 10 favorites in my head, and wondered what songs others found sexy. Then I fell asleep But anyway, here's my favorites (in no particular order). What are yours? 10) Everything - Alanis Morissette 9) Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers 8) Wicked Game - Chris Isaak 7) Criminal - Fiona Apple 6) Come Here Boy - Imogene Heap 5) Sweet Thing - Mick Jagger 4) Junkie - Poe 3) She's Your Cocaine - Tori Amos 2) The Way You Move - Outkast 1) Pagan Poetry - Bjork

With you on that one, my first crush ever was on Jareth. I remember watching the VHS and bouncing on the couch at the end in horror. "No? What, are you NUTS? Jareth is awesome, you're just stooopid!" That and I asked my parents if they were going to have another baby (what I didn't tell them was I just wanted bait for Jareth ) If you have a sewing machine, you can find patterns for similar stuff real easy. That and like Natalie said, Ren Faires. You also might try thrift stores on the off-chance they have old clothes you can add on to or something... Good luck, and please post pics when it's done! We would love to see them

God, I'm so jealous, I'd love to have your shape! Very nice.

It could be as some posters have already said, it's a control issue. It could also be she's tried it before and gotten it up her nose on in her eye. One I've heard is no fun and the other I KNOW is no fun... If she's not comfortable, she's not comfortable. If one person's not comfortable, it's not good sex. That's just my 2 cents.
