tonight i taught my cbe class. i am loving it more and more as i go on and getting more comfortable to boot. now this can be a good thing and a not so good thing. getting more comfortable makes the class more interesting and even more informational for the couples but then i teeter the line of casual liberties.
when i was getting "trained" in teaching i was told to hold an air of authority in my teaching which usually that may be a good thing but when trying to educate and instill confidence in mothers and couples to trust their bodies and the process of birth i say pppfffttt-shaw to holding an air of "authoritative knowledge". i think if you try to present that to your listeners than what is your message? i offer what i know and they can take it as they will. some will embrace it, some will be upset by what i say and some will just be plain offended and think i am full of shit. so be it. i offer no false pretenses and i am not trying to convince anyone of anything.
when one talks about sex, vaginal fluids, pooping, vomiting, moaning, diarrhea, circumcision, vaccinations, placentas, hemorrhage, gonorrhea, death, life, and birth for a living there a a point were you just need to let loose. it is what it is people- just get down and have a baby.

all right babe, you've just written the next opener for issue #6!
love it!
I love that phrase "it is what it is people - just get down and have a baby".
That might be because is appeals to my stop-worrying-about-silly-shit-and-lets-get-on-with-it-already sensibilities, and might be because it's got a little dance jig to it - Get Down, Shake Ya Booty, Have a Baby.
Either way (or both), it makes for a smile and a chuckle, so thanks for that.
