I catch a funny joke he makes, I watch tv with him to see what he watches, listened to his favorite stations to hear what he hears. He’s a pretty well rounded kid, I’ve not shielded him from much as I think you do a disservice when you shelter your little people.

A guy named Kinky Friedman ran for Governor of Texas in 2006 and one of his standpoints on politics was to, “treat adults like children and children like adults”. Makes perfect sense to me.

I’ve always tried to take child rearing seriously, and to deal with questions and discipline with common sense, care, and most of all to encourage him to have big dreams but to be also grounded in reality. I try to build his confidence, make him understand when I’m proud of him (which is a lot) and tell him he should be proud of himself. I want him to have pride in himself because without that, you really have it rough in the world.

I’ve always tried to respect him as a person, and though he’s moody, like I was, he is respectful and courteous and all the other kids parents love him too. Coming from where I come from, I’ve tried to stay conscious of everything I do with him, tell him, etc. Our latest campaign is college.

I’ve wandered, I apologize. Anyways, he’s cracking jokes, he’s rockin’ a cell phone, with a pimp tone we made on Phonezoo from Mom’s awesome music collection. \

He has a girlfriend, named Maddie. He’s a cute little guy really. He’s got full lips like me and cute cheeks, blue eyes and blond hair and a great smile. He’s sweet and tries to be a good friend. Look out ladies…

He’s become a much more considerate child, and I can see a little maturity here and there, like he realizes he has a place in this family and that isn’t always only for the fun stuff. In less than a month he’ll turn 11, I’m not even 30 yet, so this makes me realize how young I am and how far we’ve come in such a short time.

This week we’ve been unpacking pictures and decorating and one of my favorite photos of him has always been a photo of him when he was about 3 and had a toy camera. He was wearing a gray shirt, tucked into his cute little jeans with a belt on and he had a fresh haircut, such a cutie and I was crouched to take a picture of him and he mimicked my pose with the camera with his own and that’s when I captured my favorite shot. Of him behind the camera (like I always am) but not so far behind the camera that you couldn’t see his smile.

I love that photo. It reminds me of simpler times when I could tackle him with hugs and kisses and he would just giggle and giggle and giggle and finally scream in his little cutie voice, “Mommy I can’t breathe!” giggling between words. Precious memories. Now we’re back to a fun phase where he’s fun and silly and has quite the sense of humor, and even well timed sarcasm. It’s great. I understand the sentimental things now, and the stupid hallmark commercials make me get all teary eyed.

Sometimes I’m such a sap. I have a video to share with you, holds a motto I’ve always tried to keep in mind so that I could enjoy all these growing up years…

When I was younger, a teenager, I thought that I would never like to smile, that I would never want to share a laugh with anyone. I was pretty sure my existence was terminal. I didn’t have goals, dreams or ideals of what I wanted to do in life, I thought just being would be enough. Never wanted kids, never wanted commitment, never desired a “normal” life with the significant other and the little ones.

I can’t help but look back at the old me and laugh at her. At her foolishness and not seeing her gifts, and her love. She didn’t know she was hiding so much love, hell back then she wasn’t even mouthy. Nope, she was quiet “little Sabrina” that did whatever she could to stay out of the way and keep everyone off my back. Didn’t do very good in school, but I didn’t flunk out so I considered that winning.

When I was 17 I met my son’s father, thanks to my sister. (read: sarcasm) My son is a gift I could never thank the maker enough for, but I shoulda hit splitsville way sooner than I did with that fool. Regardless, all that led me to where I am today, I had to have those experiences to be the MouthyGirl I am now, to share my opinions and views with all you MouthyPeople!

Aren’t you glad? Anyways, to get to the point…

I spent most of Saturday with my sisters and their children and husbands. Our little family is getting SO big! My little sister has two, a girl and a boy and my older sister has one, a boy, and of course I have one 10 year old MouthyBoy.

My cousin was there with her friend and we all had a really great time. From living together to rarely seeing each other, it’s remarkable that we still get along, lol. All of our lives have gone in ways I don’t think any of us expected, except my older sister. She’s still in the field she always wanted to be in, doing what she always wanted to do.

My little sister just had my nephew Levi so she’s not back to work yet. I have another sister, from my Dad’s side, she’ll be having a son in October, then she’ll have a girl and a boy as well.

My family is getting bigger and bigger, and I’m beginning to realize I have the big love inside of me because every time I see one these beautiful people that are my family, I get all emotional.

I’m such a dork I know, but it’s great to have a growing family, seeing kids grow up and all that good stuff.

How has your family changed over the years? Do you find yourself being emotional about the little ones growing up and reminiscing about when they were small?

I found a fun Sex Quiz to help you find out how you are in bed. I am not at all too proud to say that I make sure my DH isn’t looking for anything anywhere else, and you do that by filling needs.

That’s what a commitment is about, beyond all the promises and idealism, seriously, good sex is very important in a relationship. A MouthyGirl should fill the needs of her significant other, when you finally find that one that you can see into the future with…that relationship deserves your all. Everything you can give it, absolutely give it.

When you love completely, whether it works out forever or not, you can walk away and know you gave it everything you had and didn’t hold anything back. I think that provides closure when a relationship doesn’t work out. Be choosy who you’re picking, make sure they aren’t going to hurt you as soon as you become vulnerable - but don’t hold back once you know they’re committed too.

Sex for both people in a relationship is very important because in the beginning it’s hot and heavy and excellent for both parties. Then it wanes, but why? Don’t leave it to him to make all the moves I know it’s easy to expect that because he’s the man, but you know you like it too so get after it and take what’s yours. That’s what I believe anyways. A man likes to feel wanted just as much as a woman does.

Like the porn star name generator from yesterday, get naughty and make things interesting. If you’re especially brave you could even seek out a strippercise class to learn that technique of exercise. I’ve heard it has great results.

I’ll never forget my little sister asking my dh one day if he and I had a song, and he looked at her without even taking a second to think and named, “Closer to God” by Nine Inch Nails and my sister says, “Aaaw!”. I blushed at the time and they all laughed at me because I’m modest, if you could only see my face as I write this, lol. But it was and is still flattering to know he’s that passionate about us.

I am proud to say that we’re five years in and there have been no complaints. Go that extra mile, take that extra step and be sexy, maintain some mystery and keep things hott!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this..

Let’s face it, the first time we have sex sucks. The circumstances may be great and whatever but the first time sucks. If you’re lucky you get someone who knows what they’re doing or is attentive enough to know how to please you when you’re young, so that it’s enjoyable for you from the start.

Some of us aren’t so lucky and we get well into our twenties before we get anyone good. Such was my situation. If you go through life not knowing how good it can be, you can easily fool yourself into thinking what you’ve got is fine because you don’t know what you like.

I think a lot of people go their whole lives without having a really good sexual experience, or experience an orgasm for that matter. In retrospect I think of how much I was missing and am glad I’m not anymore.

But I wonder, how do you learn things like this, what you like and don’t without being promiscuous? By watching XXX rated films? Isn’t most of that about money shots and women servicing men? How does a female learn anything from that? I wonder too why it’s so unacceptable for women to talk about sex and participate in the experimentation that men enjoy without reprisal?

Just for fun I went and found a porn star name generator…

My porn star name is Sarah Moan.
What’s your sexalicious porn star name?

What if I went to a bar every other night and picked up a new guy and brought him home, had a great romp in the hay and pushed him out the door the next morning with his boots on, keeping his hat as a souvenir?

I think a man keeping a woman’s panties being deemed as sexy and conquerors, keeping a man’s hat can be the same for a woman. We always look good in men’s things, and make them look better even.

Back to the point, I would like to know how you learn what good sex is when you have bad examples. Romance novels? I’ve read a few and some of them are indeed juicy, is that where we’re to learn about the joys of our bodies at the hand of a lover? Where did you learn about great sex? Do you think you have great sex?

I made up this survey to see what you have experienced, please take it, it’s a way to comment while staying anonymous.

Great sex

I have a question before we get to the GirlFriday fun….is kissing a sport?

We all know it’s fun, unless you’re kissing family. But would you say you kiss just to be kissing, or you’re expecting a little sumthin sumthin at the end of all that?

I have a friend, and she knows who she is, that had a kissing contest once upon a time, competing against a cousin for who could kiss more people. What a quest that was! It was like a scavenger hunt to find men that would kiss her without expecting more in return, and also that weren’t worried that their girlfriends would find out. That was some crazy fun!

But what do you think, is kissing a sport that’s just for fun with a bonus if it goes farther, or is it a means to an end for you?

Thank you in advance for your comments…

There’s a hilarious post by JD at I Do Things that you shouldn’t miss, it’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.

I’m changing it up on ya this Friday, no videos, just funny photos. I’m not going to let GirlFriday get stale with YouTube videos…we’ll keep it spontaneous here….so enjoy!

Great shot eh? LOL Fridays are great days even for cats! Yes, I’m a cat lover…but here’s one for all you dog lovers…

I’ve been looking for Friday morning since Sunday night and I’m so glad it’s here! The DH and I are going to get outta the house tomorrow and drop the munchkin off to a family member who likes him enough to babysit and we’re off to play foosball at Main Event, maybe even some Skeeball…I’d like to rent Juno and watch it to…he won’t go see Baby Mama with me, DH thinks the blond chick looks horribly wrong somehow, lol.

So enjoy your Friday everyone, please comment on what you think about kissing…or how kissing has evolved for you even…that could be interesting…anxious to hear your thoughts!

On the radio this morning the topic was men in the delivery room as their children are being delivered?

Definately. They OWE us! Now if you hate the man or you tend to get violent when you’re in pain, yeah maybe the man shouldn’t be in there, but otherwise, they owe us that much! No copping out because you have a weak constitution, get over it and MAN UP! Like Mel (my favorite DJ) said.

Go watch some of the most disgusting movies ever if you have to to prepare, but for all the flatulence, tactless criticism, dirty socks on the floor, clothes everywhere, making us mother you and a whole host of other things we put up with that I won’t go into here, they owe us this support.

Then of course there’s the argument that if the man is there…he’ll have sexual issues later, not buying that either, the only fun thing in that whole ordeal is the making of the baby…

Don’t you think it scares the HELL out of us to have to go through that? Oh yeah, we handle it really well some of us do, and some of us not so much, but if you’re one of those women like me that internalizes everything, Dad may come away thinking that it was a cakewalk.

NOT SO!

My son’s birth, while the reward is one that just keeps on giving, the experience of child birth for me is not something I am at all anxious to do again. All of my sisters have had one day deliveries, not a cake walk, but easier than mine no doubt, and they all want more. Not me.

No, no, and HELL NO.

We’ll just say that it was the worst three days of my life until the end. On a Sunday morning in July of 1997 at 10:52 a.m. my son was born and it was glorious…and I was exhausted.

I think a man that is able to create a child should be there next to the poor soul who must bear it. Men cannot even fathom what occurs within the body during that nine months, forget about those hours of labor. There is incessant discomfort, changes in the body you never imagined, feelings that can’t be predicted, cravings that aren’t expected and that gross even you out. They owe us that support.

Yes man, you should be there when your child is born, you should be chomping at the bit to be the first person your child sees. What a bonding experience for Dad that is. This is the reason I think men have a hard time sometimes bonding with their children, they’re scared. They don’t know what to do, or if they’re doing it wrong when they are doing something. It’s confusing, the whole damn process is a bit freaky if you ask me. I’m still getting freaked out, and he’s 10 now!

This isn’t easy for the ladies either and we get scared too, but real men go through it as much as possible with the mothers of their children because if she can do it, he can do it. (How’s that for a flip? LOL)

What are your thoughts on this, any particular experiences or stories you’d like to share? Speak up people!

Problogger asked his Twitter followers if they were to write a last post ever, what would it be about. I was late to the whole thing, so I read it backwards from (this is paraphrasing by the way)…what’s keeping you from writing your “last post”, to, thank you all for your titles, they sound great and some of them really need to be written, to, if all of you were to write your “last post” what would the title be, what would it be about?

Reading things backwards seems to be a trend. So on the spot I decided my last post ever on MouthyGirl.com would be this, “Nobody’s Bitch”. Got a nice ring to it right? Say it to yourself, “I’m NOBODY’S Bitch!” Now say it with conviction! “I’m NOBODY’S Bitch!”

Now say it like you mean it. “I’M NOBODY’S BITCH!”

Didn’t that feel good? Great. Because you’re not. Anybody’s. Bitch.

Yeah it comes off vulgar, and I know many variations of this that are much worse, so trust me that’s nothing. Today we’re going to talk about being assertive and standing up for yourself.

First things first, stop saying yes to everything. Say No. Even if it’s a small No, say No. Next, stop being pushed into things you don’t want to do, don’t feel obligated. Be reasonable with this.

Understandably there will be times you have to do something you don’t really want to do, that’s just life, but ultimately, you’re nobody’s bitch, so don’t behave that way.

Next let’s talk about being assertive and sounding more like you mean business. I can thank a local newscast last night for this information.

Don’t speak in a manner than ends your sentence with a question, unless it’s a question. And sit or stand up straight when you speak so that your delivery isn’t hindered by your appearance. Look like you mean business and people will pay attention to you.

Finally, don’t end your sentences with a question. I myself am super guilty of this, I end almost every sentence with, “you know?” I’m confident that it annoys the crap out of people. But I’ve done that for a long time, it insures I’m being heard, but from today forward people…you either listen or you don’t. If you don’t, you might miss something.

No one I ever talk to in real life ever reads this, so this’ll be a shocker to them, you know? LOL. JK.

Go forth, be your own Bitch!
