Do it! Peeps, they started at I think 20 votes and now they are up to 124!

Here is the link to keep on giving! Walter Cohen School.

In other news, the girls are still liking their new school but have come to the realization that summer REALLY is over. So have I.  Now I wake up early, make lunches, walk them to and from school, lather, rinse and repeat. Truthfully, I find the new regime kinda weird. Weird in that no one wants to visit or talk about anything boring like the weather.  Such a far cry difference from where I was last year at this time. It was both a blessing and a curse. If I was feeling down or just plain shitty, I couldn't run away. Now, I don't have to worry about it. Now, I'm just another fat mother (fucker) on the playground who is waiting for the morning bell. Lately I've been wanting to scream at some of the other mothers, "Look at me! Come on now! Peace out, bitches!" Right now, this grind is totally uninspiring for me.

I went to the lady bits doc today. This was the first visit since my last doctor up and left me for beautiful mountains and calm waters. This dude is very nice but seriously, a novice.  I know I'm fat but hells bells, it doesn't take 15 minutes to get the speculum in. I'm no fatter than I have been for the past three year and my inverted backwards uterus hasn't changed positions lately.  My old doctor never had a problem. At one point I said, "just shove it up there, okay?" The diddling down reminded my high school. Actually, college. My high school boyfriend was better than this dude though, to be fair, he never used a speculum.

I really can't see me going through menopause with this whipper-snapper. Not to count he is a man who doesn't have a clue what a heavy period actually might be or what cramps feel like. Even the most sensitive man doesn't really "get" what a woman goes through. And frankly, I think men who act like they are sensitive aren't. It's all a ploy. Just to mess us up further.

Okay, I'm guessing I need to start back on my Prozac because I'm feeling awfully stabby these days. Who doesn't feel stabby after Gyno visits?

LOL. A whipper snapper needs to be dumped. I like older doctors whether male or female. .the problem is NOW I AM OLDER TOO. It makes me take these youngsters WAY LESS SERIOUSLY.

Like baby boy cops? I just want to LAUGH at their stern cop poses - I hope to God I don't get pulled over by one because I am likely to be arrested for disrespecting a police officer.

I do have an older wiser Indian doctor whom I and the world adore. (You know what I went through last month . .when I was in the hospital. .they talk about him like he is their private angel). He is not chatty but will answer any question I have etc.

Women . .I don't know .guess I am of the generation to get skeeved out a bit. Plus I always want to argue with the woman. My obygyn had a nurse practioner for awhile and for the longest time she grated on me.

My GP is an ancient Vietnamese doctor - who used to great me with "Mrs. Thompson you are getting FAT". Then I lost 20 pounds and now its "Mrs Thompson you need to lose more you are still too chubby."

My dermo is a woman who I love.

I think it really is just who you click with, who you have no shame with and who you trust to follow orders, lol

dude, i just clicked over to give to Walter Cohen, and the Target campaign is closed already, they gave out all their money :-(

My doctor (who is a man, and is actually fantastic) seemed really disappointed that I didn't want to talk about anything this year. I'm in that space between childbearing and menopause, so I don't think we have anything to talk about. Maybe next year I won't be so disappointing. Maybe he expected me to ask about my 2 pregnant sisters-in-law. I don't care.

Gyno visits are never a walk in the park, are they? And, I was nuts enough to schedule it on my birthday this yr. I was taking the day off for "me" time and decided why not? And, it was first thing in the morning. Never again.

[Jill]

Feeling awfully stabby. I think I may adopt this phrase and use it to its fullest potential. It IS Friday, after all. ;) I'd say to have a wonderfully fulfilling and great day that includes house cleaning, re-grouting the bathroom and a whole bunch of other productive-type crap, but I'm a realist, and I wouldn't wish that kinda day on anyone I like. So, I'll pay homage instead. "Look at me! Come on now! Peace out, bitches!" :P

[Andrea]

Ugh. That kind of doctor would make me stabby, too. I'm not sure anything could talk me into having a male gyno. I would always be thinking, "what the hell do YOU know? you're not even CAPABLE of going through any of this, you penis head..."

[Fluffycat]

I switched to a younger female gyn this year (from a male middle aged guy) and I'm happy as heck that I did that. I dunno if you have any options there with finding someone else, but I found it's a load off my mind being able to talk about horrid periods, etc, and have someone sympathetic listening.

[SarahR]

Oh yikes. Yeah, find a lady or an experienced male doc. I always hate that every time they are like, "relax your hips" and I think, I know that... I was just waiting because I didn't want to be all spread eagle like this is commonplace position for me.

[Gamanda]

You would think the young doc would be a little more up-to-date on playing around down there. If he's going to be there for a bit, he might as well make it pleasurable for you!
Also, conversing with other mothers isn't all that awesome, is it? Just tweet us :D

[Julie]

I used to go to a gyno who every year asked, "Still not pregnant?" Hmmm, nope I'm pretty sure you would be one of the first to know if I was. Blah!
I changed doctors and LOVE the one I go to now. It makes such a huge difference. He actually talks to me about my concerns and is the nicest man ever. I actually enjoy going. Plus, the office staff are seriously like angels here on earth. They are never in bad moods, always kind and friends and laughing. Makes that yearly visit much more enjoyable.
Maybe once your school has a PTA, PTO, PTL meeting (or whatever they call it at that school) you will meet some people and then be forced to visit every day. Or, the girls could invite a friend over and that could help with starting to meet parents. I'm not good at striking up conversations with strangers or introducing myself, but if you had something in common-your girls-maybe it would make it easier.
I'm glad the girls are still enjoying school. My step-sons just finished their 3rd day and all I have heard are how yucky the lunches are this year and how there isn't enough food. I've suggested taking a sandwich, but where would they keep it until lunch time? I don't know, your locker perhaps?
Have a great weekend!

[T.O.]

I hear ya! You need to find a new doc cause it is bad enough having to go for the yearly without having to deal with someone like that. As for me I had a hysterectomy this year (age 37) so no more yearlys for me!! Downside (kinda) is that I ABSOLUTELY love the GYN that did my surgery and now I won't be seeing him anymore....wish I could have him as my GP!

[flurrious]

I saw a new doctor a month or so ago and she gave me one of the roughest pelvic exams I've ever had. My bajingo hurt for a week afterward. And now I have a bladder infection (only the second one of my life and the first one was 25 years ago), which I'm pretty sure is a result of the way she was actively trying to kill me with the speculum. Another new doctor last week, who put me on antibiotics that so far have done nothing but make me sleepy, and I can't even get a decent nap because I have to wake up every fifteen minutes to pee. SO YES I AM FEELING STABBY.

[Tonya]

I agree you need to ditch the whippersnapper. I have always had a woman gyno until an cancer scare led me to a male gyno/oncologist. He was awesome (and older) and I would have stayed with him if he would have kept me. Fortunately, I didn't have cancer so I couldn't stay with him. Anyway, my general rule for doctors for our family (this even includes vets) is that they need some gray hair.

[Amy]

"To be fair, he never used a speculum." -- best back-handed compliment evar!

I'd give young whippersnapper a chance. Being up-front might (a) help him care for you better and (b) perhaps make him a better doctor. I'd take inexperienced over judgmental and ossified any day.

As for speculums, I've never understood why they don't just lube them up. The fertility clinic never hesitated to lube anything insertable.

After my former gyno passed away, I switched to a female and it is so much better. I know it's silly, but my rule of thumb is that a doctor must be able to relate: like how can you possibly be a good family/marriage guidance counselor if you're single and have no kids? Same thing for a gyno! Mine has had 5 children. She gets it! It also helps that it is the nicest doctors office I've ever been in. Dimmed lights, relaxing music, spa-like feel, really cool art on the walls.

Anyway, I love that you can walk to/from school. That is great - fresh air, exercise, no messing around with parking lots! It's still early and those other moms haven't realized how awesome you are. :) Hang in there, chica!

[Ashley]

Ok - so I don't know how you feel about OU Medical Center..... but my Gyno is there and she is awesome!! Email me if you want her name/number...

By the way this -> "Now, I'm just another fat mother (fucker)" literally made me laugh outloud!!
