Hi Guys!
Long time no blog....Just wanted to check in with you guys and update you on my so-called life thus far (ode to Claire Danes and the best show ever from the 90s)...
Anywho, it's that special or dreaded time of the month for me when everything smells, my face look like it's been cooked in Crisco, the only food items I want are greasy hamburgers, salty fries, large amounts of chocolate, and all the dark soda that my poor stomach can tolerate. Along with the many emotions that my hormones have raging through my body, it is truly a HELL of a week...
But with age I have learned to cope with the many symptoms the best way I know how. Giving in to every temptation! :-)
I was surprised to learn earlier in the week while at work that schools no longer provide Menstrual or 1st Period Packs to young girls who may begin their period or have an accident while at school. I found that to be terrible, having been one of those girl who experienced her first period while at school. It was that 'Period Pack' that got me through that first traumatic experience of getting the dreaded "First Period". It just seems that as the years go on many of those things that made out childhood and growing years so special and created moments are dwindling away.
Now I know some of you might say it's just a period. But really, think back to that moment you had your first period and what that was like. All the things that lead up to that moment, during, and after made it special.
As corny as this may sound I can't wait for the day that my daughter comes to me about experiencing her first period and asking me for advice. It's truly one of the things as a part of the mother-daughter relationship I plan to cherish and welcome her to the hell that the rest of us experience! Lol! Sorry guys I had to add some humor.
Share with me in the comments below your first period stories or any hilarious period moments that you've had in life. I'm sure we've all had some funny things to happen while on our period.
Whelp, I'm headed to Cookout to indulge in all things that are greasy and fried.
Have a great Sunday!
