My Bladder and Me.

Seriously, what is up with my bladder? I don't know if it is the fact that I am getting older or the fact that I have given birth to two kids but this bladder is not what it use to be ( My bladder is probably saying look who's talking). I remember my bladder being a power house. I was able to enjoy myself at any place or anytime, able to hold it in for hours and hours. I didn't have to break that seal. I could drink as much water (or alcohol depending on the event) and I didn't have to break that seal. I was proud of my bladder would show it off at times but that has changed. I can't go on an hour without having to go. I can drink a glass of water and 30 min later I am an open faucet, a river maybe and 30 min after that.... I will go again. I mean I sometimes go so much that I often wonder where it's coming from when I only have had a glass of water (or wine). I can just look at water, or see a river or picture of an ocean and suddenly nature calls. And I am in a race to find a rest room. I tell my bladder "work with me". I have no time to stop every hour to Pee, I am nonstop all day that sometimes I avoid drinking water because I know I will be going nonstop. When I am at work in the field, there is no time for bathroom breaks and sometimes the places I go to are not that nice to even want to use the rest room. And when I am at home, between the kids, house work, cooking and so on, bathroom breaks are optional. That is where the problem has come in. I CANNOT HOLD IT IN ANY LONGER. I mean between us girls even a sneeze or an out of control laugh is set to make her release a bit. What's next, "DEPENDS" for this 35 year old. Hmmmm.....might be a good idea, solves the problem I think. My husband calls me "pipi loco", which in spanish mean "pee pee crazy" (he stole it from my dad who loves to tease the woman in my family about us always having to go) Obgyn visits, no problem. I can supply them with enough urine for the year. Sometimes, I think I may be pregnant because that is when I would go that often but no I am not pregnant. My bladder still thinks we are pregnant....it didn't get the memo that its business as usual. I have also noticed my friends having the same issue. In the past, the trips to the ladies room where all the girls would go to the bathroom together is no longer about supporting each other and hanging out more. Now, all the ladies actually have to use the restroom. It seems from having these babies my body along with my bladder have gone crazy. Let's not get started on the upper part of my body, my "friends" up North are not what they use to be either. They were never these "pamela anderson" beauties but they did have support. Although after having my first, they were perfect, just the right size and perfectly firm. My mother-in-law noticed my beauties after getting home from the hospital "wow, where did those come from" she said. Fabio.....lets just say he was pleased. But No, that is gone after breastfeeding two kids. It was such a tease, like "this is what you will never have". They had their 20 min of fame. Now, They are more like balloons that have lost their helium air. Sucked dry.......literally..... poor girls. What can I say it's either my age or the two boys I have had but in reality it's the new me and Fabio still seems to dig me. I don't think my bladder will ever be like it use t o be but neither will I.
