Ugh. Ana has been sick for the last two days with the croup. And not the “let’s cuddle and watch a movie because I don’t feel well” sick, oh nooooo, it’s the “I’m going to bitch and bitch and bitch because we can’t go anywhere, and this fever & cough is bullshit” sick.
And if your little one has had the croup, then you know that the “I feel fine” daytime child will be up all night hacking like a sad little seal- and you’ll be right beside her. As a result, I’m exhausted. But somehow she’s running around, literally running and chasing the cat. How?
Notice the blurred action shot…
Because I’m beat, I’m not spewing the usual quality advice, tips, or life lessons that you’ve come to erroneously rely on me for, but rather, I’d like to take this time to tell you about something wonderful that happened to me. Oh, you’re going to love this!
Remember when Brian & I went to Turks and Caicos recently? Well guess who got their period halfway through the trip? (Hint: It wasn’t Brian)
Well, the day we returned home I found a huge box on my front porch, and the whole family gathered around as I carefully opened the lid. Holy smokes! I was nearly blinded by the beauty of its contents! (the rest of the family lost interest)
Steph from Tampax, had sent me the most awesome personal feminine assortment ever! She even enclosed a sweet note thanking me for my post about re-using Tampax boxes as gift and lunch boxes (psst, I don’t recommend packing fish sandwiches).
I couldn’t believe the timing…and Steph’s kindness! I wonder if she knows she’s my new BFF? Or if our periods have synced yet?
Thanks Steph!
If you haven’t done it already, and you’re still menstruating (or incontinent), I suggest you follow Tampax on twitter, @Tampax
Alrighty guys, I’m going to see if Ana will stop jumping on me so I can nap now. Have a great day!
Ever deal with the croup? Get your period on vacation? BLAH, am I right?
