I need a hug...

Sorry to have been so absent this last two weeks. Between my birthday and my brothers coming into town, and then Don's vacation I haven't had time to think much less check my email etc... so here I am. But I need a hug ladies!

Heres the scoop. Don and I paid off a bunch of bills and had a bit left over from our tax return. So we put up for a weekend getaway. You all know how hard that is with two kids... I have three seperate people watching my sweetlings as me and the hubby go off and spend the weekend at the beach in the San Juans, and have spent a week planning it all out (we don't have a lot so we had to get a place with a kitchen and plan meals and all... couldn't afford to eat out... was planning on spending lots of time in our room anyway ). I was SO excited... and then, this afternoon... who would come knocking??? AF... yep... 6 F-ING DAYS EARLY! We leave tomorrow at noon. Right in the middle of my biggest flo day.

I am a classic 2 or 3 days late girl... my cycle always lasts about 33 days instead of 28 but here I am, day 26 and here it is. UGH...

Hug me... please.

Really, that bites. But it should be relaxing anyway.

I'm sorry! Mine did the same thing, about 10 days early, on Valentine's Day. So the fun little gift/undies/etc I had planned still haven't happened. Stupid antibiotics screwed me up (I'm on the pill for big ugly hormonal issues). Maybe this will just give you guys lots of reason to be snuggly and romantic and adventurous. Think outside the box! LOL

Boy that sucks, Sorry mama!

If you would consider the pill, it might stop it a few days. I use it to delay a period sometimes lol (ann, birthday, trip)...I start taking them a few days before....the day I stop taking them she visits.

Here we can get a pap and pills at the health dept, so you might be able to get them in the morning. Price based on income levels.

LOL or just throw down a towel, buy red sheets, or play in the shower/tub

Thanks everyone. Af has been really light so far... just a bit of spotting... I am hoping it can be that way until we get there. Then I can rest and read etc....

Dh's reaction didn't help... "So I should bring my 360?" He said he was joking... I'm NOT in the mood buddy. lol... Poor guy.

Mary... I thought about that... but I am not sure it would help with the BC homonal issues I have had in the past. I would just be pissed off instead of bloated. lol... But thank you!

Yeah...it reminds me of our honeymoon. We went to Kalaloch (sp?) and rented a little cabin with a Franklin woodstove on the beach. It was AWESOME. Huge, rippin' February rainstorms and all. It was beautiful in a very stark and amazing way. In fact it was *right* at this time - we married on Valentine's Day eight years ago and flew back I think the day or one day after - spent five or six days on the Peninsula. I only wish it had been longer!

Oh and I was preggers - 12 weeks - still a little sick - LOL. Still it was fun fun fun.

Just to have some time away from your children should be nice. Think- no "mommy come help me!" "mommy, tell my brother/sister to stop", and on and on.

You'll get to be Val and Don!

Have a fun time.
