Merry Kissmyass!

by Leslie

I received an early Christmas present.

My mother invited Julia to go to lunch with her - just the two of them. Julia wanted to go, of course, and Dave and I agreed that she could. Then, we made plans to do it while they were gone. We were pretty excited about it, too.

Just as Julia and her grandma were getting ready to go, I discovered a joyous gift. My big fat ugly period.

Damn uterus.

I should have known it was coming. The fact that Julia calling me a “stinkerball” reduced me to tears the night before should have been a clue.

Dave was really great about it. “We can still cuddle, honey.”

Suddenly, I understood every teenage boy I ever shot down in high school when I found myself saying, “Well it’s not really any fun if it isn’t going to lead anywhere, is it?”

Dave rubbed my back for a moment. Then he said, “Wanna go eat something chocolate and watch America’s Next Top Model on the DVR?”

I’m so glad I married him.

That really sucks!! I am so sorry. But Chocolate and Top Model sounds good too. What an awesome hubby.

Doesn’t that suck? I hate my period. Simply because they are too damn heavy. I’m happy to hear your husband understood and offered CHOCOLATE!! Doug would never do that. Probably because he know’s to stay away from me when I’m menstruating.

Oh, parents are still allowed to do it after they have kids?

There is evidence that the end of all these visits is no great picnic either.
