Ugh. I've been having some minor technical issues with the site on this computer, and I just realized I accidentally double posted yesterday. Oops. Crud. Oh well. My life as a Mom has been...erm...interesting? Last night Q had an orchestra concert. First he wanted me to go pick up his bow...

So today and yesterday I've been doing a fun thing. I'm preparing for a Halloween themed party we're doing at the club on the 13th. I am bringing music...because holy fuck do I ever have a TON of Halloween music. All kinds. From my old school Cleopatra compilation goth tunes, to your...

Well, hey! I get the desire to help with situations that arise. I was warned when I joined my kink community (which is a poly community too, because I'd say at least half if not more of the people there are poly) that "there is drama." Well, duh. I see "drama" as nothing but a byproduct of...

In other news, I am about to change my signature here to reflect the fact that my younger son just turned 17 yesterday! Big life milestone, man! Just one year to go and he'll be an adult. I still expect he will continue to live with me a while until he's done with high school and ready to...

So this last weekend, in addition to a few other things going on kink-scene wise, I spoke on a "Panel" about consent that was sponsored or promoted (??) by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom and some other mental health and educational orgs. Turnout was not as good as I could have hoped...

Fucking hell. I just emailed the plan for getting Q through high school to his father, because it's part of my co-parenting obligation to keep him in the loop about such things, even though it's infuriatingly pointless. Every time I try to tell him what our options are for getting Q graduated...

Hm. I'm covering a discussion group for one of the friends who was involved (and hurt by) the recent triangulation episode and subsequent fallouts, and she just told me she may not ever make it back. I don't honestly know what to say to that. I want to be there for her, yet I feel that I made...

Man. I'm on a group text thing, where my little brother sends pictures of his kids and messages and such to family. I have my brother as a contact, and my Dad. I think my sister in law is on there, and my Stepmom, but their numbers are not saved in my contacts. Just now my little brother...

Thankfully my family and many friends of mine who live in the mid-eastern coastal regions of the US are doing ok. I know a ton of people in Virginia and a number of people also in the Carolinas, especially NC. So I was worried. RIP cosmos plant! :( With regard to my sons- Thanks! My...

Yes. As I said, how one responds to being called on their behavior, is a test of character. It's important. I think that optimally, if one fucks up, and one eventually is able, with more mature eyes, to look back and say, "Oh wow, shit...I really fucked that up..." then it would be optimal to...

Had the news on this morning. The big story is the Kavanaugh situation. From what I understand, when he was in high school, as was the woman at the time, and he was 17, he drunkenly pinned a girl down and groped her. And THIS might be the thing that keeps him out of the Supreme Court. Well...

Well, I had a brief conversation with the guy I had concerns about before. I hate to put it this way, but it's the truth...how a person responds to being sort of called out on their behavior, is a test of character. I really wanted to know that this person is someone I can feel...

My Virginia friend, today: This is your last day to prepare VA! Fill your bathtub with bull semen! Boil your toilet paper! Charge your ham! Pack an extra bag of cats! Freeze at least 40 gallons of lizard milk! Strip naked and stand in the window to assert your dominance over the...

A friend of mine who lives in Richmond, VA, has this important advice for riding out hurricanes: Fill your bathtub with cats! Wash all the batteries with gas! Fill up your eggs tank! Clean your garbage cans in the dishwasher! Put 2 liters of duct tape in the freezer! Charge all of your...

I went to a party at the club last night. I was on deck to go hang out with the friend who is still coping with the breakup, but when I asked if she wanted to, she said she didn't know what she needed. I just told her I was there if it helped, and if time with me was not what she needed, that...

Well. Guy broke up with his partner. Right now I'm trying not to think in terms of what I think of this person's behavior or that person's behavior. I'm just thinking about me. The whole thing feels icky. On the one hand I feel partially responsible for the end of a longterm committed...

Well, I did check in with the "situation" yesterday...I'm somewhat disappointed and yet somewhat relieved. Guy is still pursuing new-girl despite her asking him to leave her alone and her statements that she doesn't want anything to do with the very complicated (to her) situation and she even...

Things are more calm now. I am not getting a lot of splash from other people's stuff, and that is good. I know that eventually I'll have to talk to the guy, but I have other things that should be addressed, we'll see how that goes whenever we get there, I figure. The new-girl, well, she just...

*sigh* This whole thing got way out of hand. My friend was bombarded with texts last night by both the guy and his partner, and she's done with going to the club. Can't say I blame her, and this is EXACTLY what I was afraid of when the guy started chasing her. It's why I wanted everyone to...
