If I Don’t Care Where my Boyfriend’s D!@k is, You Shouldn’t Either

My daughter was born when I was 21-years old and I had all the energy in the world. The lack of sleep was bad, but didn’t throw me into the zombie-like trance I found myself in constantly when I had my son at 35. I had never felt my age until then. I was fortunate…
