Haik’ave you seen mah baby daddy?
Almost one month now
since I quit taking The Pill.
I am healing well.
Gone back pain and ache!
Bye-bye to dragging fatigue…
Hello, Libido!
No more strange crying.
And flat affect is replaced
by more steady joy.
Now I am just sad
because my very best friend’s
on the road again.
Good thing I have my
very own munchkin to keep
me laughing all day.
Still, this lil’ momma
sure is ready to see “her
baby daddy” soon!









Kara - down to earth mommy
I’m so glad that you are feeling better and that it isn’t costing you tons of money in treatments to see these results.
As for the other part, well, he’ll be back.

That is so great that getting off b.c. could make you feel so much better. My youngest daughter (20 years old) is on birth control and now I wonder if that is making her depressed? She struggles with it. Hmmmmm…..she’s not married though and I sure wouldn’t want to see her pregnant though. That would definitely be depressing!

I am glad you are feeling better.
When my honey used to travel, I would miss him so much. Then, he switched jobs and stopped traveling.
Now there are times when I look up and him and think “Aren’t you supposed to leave for a while now?”
I miss having the remote to myself, the covers to myself.
Most of all, I miss missing him.
I hope your reunion is soon, and snuggly.

I saw Braden’s daddy this past weekend! He was on fire on that stage ~ they all seem to really love the new set list. He of course couldn’t wait to comment on the Patriots when I saw him on Sunday ~ lol. I got a ton of pics of him in NY on Saturday – not so many on Sunday in CT. Check my myspace tmrw and they should be uploaded.

So glad to hear you’re feeling better!!!! And you found your libido, too. WOW!! I sympathize with you on missing your baby-daddy. My hubby was on the road for about 3 weeks out of every 4 for 20 years out of the 30 we’ve been married. I used to tell him that we may have been married for 10 years, but had only lived together for 3. I tried to talk him into phone sex, but he said he never learned how to do it with a phone.

Lotus, I am only now getting caught up in the descriptions of your difficulties. I, too, suffer from depression and wouldn’t wish it on ANYONE. I am glad that coming off the pill is helping. When I get some more money built up in my paypal I’ll give ya’ll a donation. I just donated to another friend’s site or I’d have a little now. If you ever need to vent, I’m here!

Birth control pills are eeeeeevil. We won’t get pregnant while we’re totally bloated and depressed, but it’s because we’re not interested in sex anymore! Hugs, not drugs.
