So in T minus less than two hours it won't be Friday anymore. I started a post earlier today and then our wonderfully old and beat-up laptop shut down and my post got lost. I'm not going to lie, I hate it when that happens. Hate is a strong word. And it's not nice. And it doesn't go together with all this peace and love and creating what you want in your life with positive thoughts stuff that I'm trying to put out there.
BUT - I really do hate. it. when. that. happens. Also (ok, here is a TMI alert... if you don't want to know intimate details of my life, which includes my body, stop reading now. This would probably include males that don't want to hear about "feminine stuff" and anyone else that is grossed out by details of female anatomy and functions) . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ok, well you've all been warned. I'm going to talk about... well you know, "Aunt Flo", "The Curse" or whatever other names have been given to a woman's time of the month. So if you're still with me, read on! (Why are they called "Periods" anyway? If you know, please leave a comment ;-) So, 2 years and 7 months after Gerry was born "Aunt Flo" finally came back into my life. While we were in Florida. The day we went to Busch Gardens. Luckily, I was prepared. I had a feeling it was coming (I've gotten pretty in tune with my body through the use of Natural Family Planning - don't knock it till you try it - it really works!) And now I'm in the midst of my second cycle. This is only my 4th period since getting pregnant with Marisol - yep, that's right. 6 1/2 years, 4 periods. Breastfeeding and co-sleeping have their perks, baby! Needless to say I didn't exactly miss Aunt Flo and I'm not exactly jumping up and down about her return. So today I feel tired and a bit out of sorts and I'm just not used to it. Tonight I'm wondering if I will really have the inspiration and fire to keep writing here. But for tonight, I'm keep it going. I'm keeping it real. I'm sharing (probably more than some of you wanted to know!) Thoughts I have for some posts coming up include ideas about Shining, Inspiration, Passion and Peace, Resistance, and maybe some more of this down-to-earth stuff ;-) Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

haha, funny Ema. Well, yeah there is a bit to NFP - not to be confused with the "rhythm method". Lots of temperature taking, charting, and other observations to be made. I was able to use it for a full year before trying to get pregnant first time around and I knew both times when my fertility came back (pre-period). It does take a bit to get used to though!

My one word for NFP is Lauren!! But I really didn't know what I was doing; I really should have researched the method better before I tried using it!! Oh well!
