are you still updating? can i have the id/pass?
from sduckie :
Hey Rose, so good to see your message. I am still here too, but diaryland sure is quiet these days! If you are posting I would love to read... and, want to hear about the kids & hubby, life, etc!!
from x-centricity :
Wow!!! So glad you are back!
from gr8legs :
Glad to see you back! It's been ages. Look forward to your updates :)

Found the meaning yet? =)

Dear Mama Rose, Good Day! I am a research student in New Zealand. I came across your diary and find it interesting, and I would like to use some of your blogs for my Master degree research. My research is regarding how men's and women's express themselves using diary blogs esp in intimacy. I could log in to your diary previously, but now it is locked and need a password. Would you mind I read it and use it for my research? Please reply to [email protected]
from sduckie :
I met a girl the other day that had a problem with bedbugs for awhile- and she told me they didn't go away until she went to a "spiritual healer" and got cleared... because the bedbugs were indicative of negative spirits around her. Not that I believe you would be surrounded by negative spirits, but that's what I thought of when you mentioned your husband's spiteful attitude. Hmmm. Maybe you should waft some sage around your house before you leave? And tell all negative spirits to go home... just in case? I hope the move goes easy, Rose, and you can be done with this problem once and for all!

Sending Happy Easter vibes your way. Will you be dyeing eggs and making a basket for your son? Wishing you much peace, love, HEALTH, and happiness. ~BoXx
from boxx9000 :
(((hugs))) so sorry about the disappointment with the apartment. so sorry. I hope you find something even better, you deserve to be happy. believe.
from bunnymama :
I did a little research of my own on bed bugs. Ick. Now I'm getting kind of worried. Paul and I are looking into getting a new sofa. We were gonna just go get one second-hand. *does the bee in the mouth face* I think we'll just cough up the dough and get one that's like, clearanced at Colder's or something. I don't want to go through what you had to go through. *HUG* Thanks for all the tips!!
from bunnymama :
I watch WAY too much HGTV. When you mentioned about looking for a new place, I pictured you guys on House Hunters or something. lol. The creepy but nice guy sounds...creepy. Most creepy guys are nice. Probably to cover for their creepiness. Waiting for their chance to creep you out. He'd make good friends with those bed bugs.
from boxx9000 :
MERRY CHRISTMAS. Peace, Love, Health & Happiness in 2009
from bunnymama :
*squints* There's nothing wrong with you. It was innocent, yes, but I would've FLIPPED out if someone diddled my (imaginary) son's privates. (I also don't like when people kiss my daughter on the mouth. I don't care if people do it to their own kids, but not mine.)
from boxx9000 :
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
from bunnymama :
Yeah, I did see that. Thanks!! I kept forgetting to thank you. By the way, I'm really sorry about the baby. *hug*
from bunnymama :
Isn't it funny how that 6th sense works??
from becomingmoms :
I linked to you in my "Journey" entry. I try to let people know when I do that. I'm recently addicted to you and don't know if I even said hello yet :) I'm not new to Dland, been around the block a half dozen times or so since I '03 or '04. But this is my latest diary which is quickly becoming my "full-time" blogspot. Thanks for having something interesting to read, it's gotten rare here in Diaryland. - Leticia
from bluebouquet :
*CONFETTI* Thank you soooooooooooo much for the layout!! I LOVE IT!!!
from bluebouquet :
I could SWEAR I emailed you back about it...I'll see if it saved as a draft and resend it.
from bluebouquet :
Wow. I never thought another guy [besides Paul]would turn down a blow job because he wasn't in the mood. That is mind-boggling to me. *hugs you* I get where you're coming from with the whole sex thing. Remember the movie "What Women Want" where he's boinking that girl and he reads her mind to please her? How come guys can't do that in real life??
from bluebouquet :
*jumps around squealing* I'd love that!!! What'd you have in mind???
from bluebouquet :
*tear rolls down face* That is sooooo sweet!! (The letter)
from bluebouquet :
Awwwwwwwwwwww, how cute!!!
from brightopal :
*Hugs* I know how you feel and wish I could promise you that it gets better. I don't know your husband, don't know what makes him tick - but I do know that what you're describing is a very real part of motherhood, the part nobody tells you about. Being a mother is HARD, and doing it without any real support system can be deadly. Please keep writing, keep talking. If you try talking to your husband and he continues to dismiss your needs, then perhaps "running away" isn't so much a vague concept as a reflection of what you are seeing on a day-to-day basis. Sounds to me like hubby has perfected the art of running away, without ever leaving home. He just checked responsibility and love at the door.
from bluebouquet :
Whenever I think about how much I just want to be done being pregnant and how people will no longer as me when I'm due, my thoughts always turn to what comes next. Gee, I can't wait to have other mothers criticizing how I raise my daughter. Sure, sometimes it will be innocent questions, but alot of the father's side of the family says exactly what they think. Oh well. Just part of being a mom, right??
from somaserious :
I love the new do. There's this part of me that secretly desires to chop off my long hair into something more hip....ouch on the cost, though! Teething was horrific for my son, too. Many, many sleepless nights and cuddling and giving him things to gnaw on. That's the worst of it. After they all come in it's smooth sailing! I'm glad to hear you and hub are doing better. It's true that the vision is one-sided. What we perceive seems so much worse than what actually happens. Talking really does work, doesn't it? cheers, soma
from sduckie :
Oooh I can't wait to see what it looks like... I'd like to try it myself but if I fail miserably I will definitely be asking you for help... please email me the code!! :) thank you! Love, Duck
from rose-phoenix :
thank you for your complement. it is always good to know i'm not just writing for my own enjoyment! speaking of which...when are yo going to update?
from sduckie :
thanks for the note... how does it work, to get a new template? i don't know anything about it!
from kantjil :
you really ahve a nice diary.. salam from holland..
from birdandegg :
yay rose!! you go girl! (regarding the good sex) :)
from birdandegg :
haha, oh rose. silly. one day I will be married and also doing it sofa style. xoxo.
from birdandegg :
it was miraculous, and very easy breezy! How are you and the little one? It's supposed to be lovely out this weekend- enjoy. xoxo
from sduckie :
Hi Rose, thanks for the note. It's amazing what human beings can survive, isn't it? :) I hope you have a great day with your little guy.
from birdandegg :
<3 the boots!!
from somaserious :
I guess I'm becoming your note pal. No, I'm not stalking you! Three years later and my husband and I are still having sex issues. It's mostly me - too tired, not having our bed to ourselves (he's still in our room with his own futon, but he does end up with us most of the time), me not being able to let go as much as I used to. From what I've read other mommies and daddies have the same problem. Don't sweat it too much, it will eventually change. Just keep communicating. Not doing that will just destroy your relationship. cheers, soms
from somaserious :
You know, that will pass with the babe. The more you take him the out the easier it gets. Socialization is so important, so do it as much as you can. Yay for you and alpha moms! It's a cool website. It sounds like you're on your way, good for you. I have two blogs, too. The other one, somaserious.blogspot.com, is all about my karate life. Check it out. The more you and your husband communicate the easier it will be. Sorry to spout advice, but that's been so helpful for me and my husband. Good luck to you on that one... cheers, soma
from somaserious :
Ah yes, the boy that doesn't sleep. I had one of those at that age (my son is now 3). He would wake up every two hours to breastfeed. Needless to say I lasted a year and a half with the milk and just had to get a good nights sleep. What I had to do was actually leave the house and sleep at my parents' a night or two and then that got him sleeping through the night. Of course my DH had to deal with him those two nights...but they both survived and now he sleeps well, mostly....hey, marriages are hard and they require constant vigilance. Ever thought about couples therapy? Cheers, soma
from chaosdaily :
there are also a couple cases in Milwaukee, one involving an adult. Now that's a scary thing for an adult to have!!
from birdandegg :
Thank you <3
from birdandegg :
Oh Rose I do!!!! Thank you so so so much, ( I'm sorry, my head is thouroughly lodged up the tush) although I can't get into archived entries and I can't go back and forth?? I just realized. Can you remedy this? <3
from sduckie :
Hey. Here for you.... keep writing. Love, Duck
from birdandegg :
I <3 Rose.
from birdandegg :
oh wow really? how odd!
from birdandegg :
Oh I would love that Rose! That makes me feel good. I really want to get rid of the blog thing, I'd rather have seperate entries. BTW, I read you every day at work, it's like lunch/rose break, and a co-worker passed and noticed "Breast-Fest", he thinks I have a breast fetish now, and whenever he passes he utters it under his breath. haha! xox
from sduckie :
Wow powerful entry today, Rose. Brought tears to my eyes... thanks for sharing. Love, Duck
from spicymocha :
Hi R, I read all of your blogs and even though I do not have any children at the moment, my boyfriend has a 21-month-old daughter who is stuck on the pacifer. If you can, get rid of it now as this is affecting her desire to speak and decreasing her expressive language skills. If you ever want to email, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I'm an SLP who lived in NYC for a few years, but moved to Toronto, ON in 2007. Take care. :)
from chaosdaily :
I'm with you on the goodbye binky issue. If he can get the whole thing in his mouth, it needs to go. It won't take him long to get used to not having it, and then you won't have the hassle. The earlier the better!

from chaosdaily :
I was there fairly close to the beginning, and don't remember ever seeing any name but Rose. You are right though, it wouldn't be worth your life now to post it.
from birdandegg :
I like the new layout! I would totally support your biz too btw if I had friends having babies, but as of yet I don't, but you are the first go-to baby gift person when I do need one.
from chaosdaily :
well he is waking up because he's hungry.. I think the doc is right on the cereal.. and WOW he actually read the book? Keep that doc, he's a good one!
from birdandegg :
I want to just plant my tired ass in the fisher price soothe -n -play right now... with a martini. What brilliant inventions they have for babes!!! (I think the husband is envious the BF gets to connect with you)
from chaosdaily :
I loved those little potato sacks! They were the best!!
from sduckie :
It will all be okay Rose... people usually turn to alcohol or drugs to avoid feeling their feelings. So as long as you teach your son that his feelings are important and you are there to give space for him to express them, he will not feel the need to escape. He'll learn that he's valued as a person and then he will value himself! This is something you can start to honor in your family and break the lineage of the "numbed out" family you may have come from... it doesn't have to continue because you are much more conscious and want to raise your son in a conscious way. So no worries! Love Duck
from chaosdaily :
you are going to make yourself crazy worrying about these things... just love your little boy and he will be fine!
from chaosdaily :
hard to say how things would have turned out. you likely would have been abused, too....
from birdandegg :
I'm writing again now... I can't hold it in any longer. xox
from chaosdaily :
oh he will like you when he's 4... it's when he gets to be 14 that you have to worry!
from birdandegg :
oh my god that entry 2/15 is so intense... my heart is bursting
from sduckie :
beautiful baby!
from chaosdaily :
swings are great!!! as to pacifiers, our rule was, once they can walk, they can only have a pacifier in bed. my son was hooked on a bottle, which HE threw away. he cried a bit when he didn't have it for bed time, but he got over it. my husband just took my daughter's pacifier away one afternoon. she cried for about 20 minutes before she fell asleep, and never wanted it after that. in both cases, it was GONE and they both understood that. they were both way over a year old, too.....
from chaosdaily :
what a sweet picture! i kept my kids in bed with me while they were breastfeeding.. definitely easier! .. eventually they learn to sleep all night long and it is so nice to get even 6 hours of sleep! but then you will wake up and check to make sure he is ok...
from x-centricity :
I'm not proud of my past either but I wouldn't change anything. My husband loves the woman I am today, and I wouldn't be her if it weren't for my past. *hugs*
from x-centricity :
You have no idea how worried I was when you stopped updating. So glad things are going well with the new baby. *hugs*

from birdandegg :
Rose, happy new year darling!! I'm so happy yr writing again and reporting your amazing new life as a mama. I'm not sure yet where you can reach me... I need to set up a new secondary email address. I just canceled that yahoo one around three days ago. Will update you. xoxox to you and Angelo
from rockabillie :
Rose, wonderful post. They do grow up too fast and, while every stage of growing up is great, you do miss those that have come before. Focus on the eyes, they don't change. Those little eyes that watch you while they eat will be the same eyes that you see graduate from high school. Everything else changes on their little bodies but the eyes. Blessings to you and yours.
from chaosdaily :
congratulations, rose! i followed you here from duck's diary, glad things are working out. how's angelo and adonis and you???
from sduckie :
Congratulations, Rose... it has been great to catch up with your diary and read of Angelos' birth! Hope all is well and looking forward to an update when time and energy permit. Love, Duck
from rockabillie :
That is wonderful news! Congratulations to you on a healthy birth.
from salazabr :
Congratulations!
from birdandegg :
R- i wrote you an email a few weeks, ago, I don't know if you recieved it I know you are a bit preoccupied. ( a tad ) Once it got bounced, I sent it again and it seemed to have gone through, just wasnt sure if it was my email.
from x-centricity :
I have a feeling that congratulations are in order. You�re probably exhausted right now, but if you have the chance, let us know how mommy-hood is treating you. Big *HUGGLES*
from birdandegg :

from birdandegg :
Hey... I'm thinking about you. I think you probably had your baby, but I can't track time. I hope you had your baby... xox
from x-centricity :
Now I'm worried about you being in the hands of this midwife....she sounds like a real loser. *hugs*
from x-centricity :
I'm praying for you and thinking about you on a daily basis. *hugs*
from smashley719 :
I had a baby boy at the end of may, and reading over what you want for him and want to sheild him from is beautiful. Just from those statements, you can tell that you are going to be a great mom. I was so scared of bringing a child into the world (he was unplanned, but not unwanted), but now that he's 3 months old...I feel more patient and understanding, caring, nurturing, and loving than I ever have in my entire life. It's an amazing experience, on the brink of overwhelming, but just enough that you feel comfortable with it. The first three weeks are the toughest...after that it's gravy. Good luck and congratulations!
from x-centricity :
I'm so excited for you!!! *hugs*
from x-centricity :
It's going to be miserable; this last trimester. I've been around enough pregnant women to know that this isn't going to be easy. Just remember that your going to be overly sensitive and cranky and pissed off and all of those wonderful things that cranky pregnant women experience. Butb you arleady know that. I'm sending lots of love your way. *hugs*
from rockabillie :
Flowers are a wonderful! What a thoughtful friend. You are in the home stretch with your baby, I will keep you in my thoughts.
from x-centricity :
That story sounds all too familiar.
from x-centricity :
The third trimester!!!! How exciting! Having your family around would make things so much easier for you once you have your baby. There are so many things to know and do. A move would be a really good idea. Or a really long visit. *grin*
from x-centricity :
My hubby gets like that too, sometimes. He's a perfectionist and I'm so NOT. When he gets in his moods I ignore him. Or call him a nagging woman. "Woman. Stop your nagging! I can't stand it. Make me some pie." That either really pisses him off or makes him laugh. When It pisses him off then I roll my eyes and flap my hand about like a puppet. He eventually gets it. Now that I think about it....my poor hubby.....
from x-centricity :
Oh, Sweetie...*hugs* I really envy you right now. Mike and I plan on getting preggers in a year but I feel my babies calling me NOW. Hopefully when that time comes you'll have tons of advice for me.
from rockabillie :
Chidren are a real blessing from above. But it really does not matter if you have one, five or fifteen kids, you are going to be busy from the time you wake up to the time you finally fall into bed exhuasted. Good luck with your little one! Give it lots of love.
from hanonly :
HEY! Things arn't much better here on the west coast, actually,,,,,,,, they probably are, I won't lie. I'm not rich but I've got space and room to move around. NY must really be a strange place, my favorite singer Mike Monroe (U heard of him?) along time ago wrote some s@#t about gettin the hell out and how things are dead, and then on one of his recent "Hanoi Rocks" albums he writes this "Took myself outta New York City But New York won't leave me alone I found everything I needed there In a Deli right down the street It's always in my blood The last place I felt at home Chewing up the great Big Apple You learn to love the smell of the streets THERE'S ROCK 'N' ROLL IN NEW YORK CITY AND LOTS OF THINGS TO GET ON DOWN LIFE CAN GET HARD IN NEW YORK CITY BUT I'LL BE BACK TO ROCK THAT TOWN JUST STICK AROUND Either I had nails for breakfast Or the day just wasn't right Face to face with sheer brutality Concrete cold reality Part of me just couldn't stay Part of me just can't break away Survivin' New York City Is an impressive fact indeed THERE'S ROCK 'N' ROLL IN NEW YORK CITY AND LOTS OF THINGS TO GET ON DOWN LIFE CAN GET HARD IN NEW YORK CITY BUT I'LL BE BACK TO ROCK THAT TOWN JUST STICK AROUND" I don't know, I guess I'de only like to visit and then get the hell out.
from birdandegg :

from skibigsky :
I just wanted to drop you a quick note. I added you to my favorites, as you remind me a lot of myself in a former life (not being all new-age on you - I call anything that I did before I made the last major change in my life as my past life). My open diary (the one this links to) doesn't really go into it - my locked one would make it a lot more clear (sorry for being so esoteric - I just don't like to advertise a lot about the last 15 years of my life), but ultimately, I wish you luck in your relationship, and in your life, and I hope you don't mind if I read you, to see how things go.
from ohclaudine :
no you dont sound like a bitch!

I'm here. :) Hang in there R., everything will work out.
from i-read-you :
wow -- two comments in a row! ============================== if your budget includes regular payments on your debts, there's no need to have the $$ talk until he brings up the subject, or until he proposes, IMHO. your mileage may vary. :)

nice phoenix! suggestion: lock your previous diary, just to protect yourself from unwanted visitors there. Hand out passwords to trusted readers. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = we're humans, thus imperfect . . . but "happy ever after" _has_ to include challenges; without challenge we're not happy, just bored. Best of luck in facing and solving/resolving your challenges! :)
from batalicious :
Just when I was about to add you as a fav I see you've started a new diary. So I've added that instead. Enjoy the new start :-)
from ohclaudine :
YAY for Rose and her new beginnings! xoxo
from pageme :
Rose, great new site! There's something wrong with your guest-book tho. The phoenix is my bird-beautiful choice!! I believe it was originally first seen in Egyptian mythology tho, if my info serves me correctly. The eclipse [sun overtaking darkness, or rebirth after death] was believed by them to be the phoenix returning. I have the symbol tattooed on my lower back. I love it...it IS a perfect choice for you. Take care, and I hope you decide to stay 'un-locked', xxx
from i-read-you :
thanks for inviting your readers to your new home! I'm honored to be the first to note you. :) May your happiness and joy abound.
