Yup, this about sums up my morning!

A few months ago, my period decided to take a little hiatus, extending my cycle by about a week.  Normally I wouldn’t care, however, we have a little vacation planned.  Now let me set the scene here for all of you non-parents.  A vacation with a 6 and 3-year-old is not a vacation.  It’s out of our element, away from our routine chaos! It is not fun to have your period (let alone my period) while walking around theme parks in 90 degree weather, or swimming in a river without a bathroom in sight for miles. I know this because it happened last summer.  I did my best to grin and bear it, always wondering if I was leaking, always scanning the horizon for restrooms, loading up on ibuprofen to slow my flow, and hopefully dull the pain of my exploding cyst. It sucked, but my kids had an awesome time.

So despite my horror movie of a morning, I am pleased that my body is broken. (at least for today)

Umm……Thanks PCOS?
