I received my first request to do a bachelorette party a few days ago. I emailed the girl back promptly and let her know what I do and the cost. She didn’t get back to me though so I sent another email last night. This morning she wrote and said a lot of the other women feel uncomfortable about it. That’s to be expected I guess. When one thinks of pole dancing they think of strippers and sex. But at the same time you would think common sense would outweigh all that. I guess not.

So, I’m patiently awaiting her response to the email I sent back. I told her that we only take off our socks and shoes and nothing more. I explained that pole dancing these days is more about fitness than being sexy. And thats true. But to a point. Many women still buy them to please their husbands. And I am hoping someone will buy a pole from me eventually, but right now I just need to book parties.

Its kind of premature for me to do knowing that school is coming up and I have no idea what my calendar for September will look like. But since I’m scheduling parties only on the weekends, I figure it shouldn’t matter. I may make an exception once in a while if someone needs a party during the week. Hopefully Lauralei is sleeping right by then.

Leilani and I went out shopping today. I bought my first post-nursing bra. An underwire. Its white and silky smooth. I love it and can’t wait to wear it tomorrow. It feels very liberating to finally have my boobs to myself, but at the same time I do miss nursing my baby girl. I did it for so long that sometimes I’ll sit down to rock Lauralei for a nap and I’ll catch myself lifting my shirt. It only takes a moment for me to realize it but strange that my brain hasn’t gotten the message by now.

The weight loss challenge I joined back in April is over now. My wonderful friend won. She worked very hard and looks fantastic. The second challenge started up and I decided to try again. I’m serious about my weight loss this time and have been exercising every day, but I don’t know if its enough. My weight has stalled for almost two months. I keep going up and down on the scale by a pound or two and it is driving me insane. Even if I’m an angel for two weeks straight and eat the right amount of WW points and exercise my ass off, I either lose only one pound or lose nothing at all. I want to throw my brand new scale out the window!

I tell myself I can’t stay at this weight forever. It has to come off sometime. I am working out and losing inches, so the weight will have to follow eventually. Right?

School starts next month. Yipee!!! It is going to be so nice having the house to myself again. Granted I have Lauralei, but she doesn’t drive me half as nuts as the older two. They are always fighting over something petty. And then Forrest stims all day and though its not his fault, sometimes his stimming really bothers me.

He can be too loud during Lauralei’s naps and not be aware of it. And when I ask him to stop he seems oblivious that I am even there. Sometimes I worry the toys he puts into his mouth may have lead in them and I don’t think there is any way to find out if they are recalled because they are so old. He won’t “play” with anything else except those damn Bionicles. I hate those stupid toys and wish he had never gotten those things for his birthday. And while I’m at it, I hate Autism. It takes him away sometimes when I want him here, with me. I want to know what he’s thinking and feeling, but he can never tell me sometimes. And out of everything, I hate that the most. Ugh.

Sorry…got off on a tangent. Most days I’m ok with his behaviors and then there are some days I want to cry, because its not fair.

   Hey- I hope you get that pole party. You’d think too with it being a bachelorette- I mean, you WANT to do something a little naughty and outrageous. You know?

   Yay for new bra’s! I know it’s sad to stop nursing, but like you said, it’s sort of liberating too.

   Another yay for school starting up soon! I know it has got to be a daily challenge with the autism, I hope that his new therapy is helping. I believe you blogged a few months ago about the diagnosis and some changes that were going to be made.
