Dear body,

We need to chat.

We have planned this whole road trip thing for a few months and for a few months I went without a period. Which was great besides the pregnancy scare.

Body, your timing stinks. It wasn't very fun to be granted my period while in a petrified forest in Arizona. It also wasn't very fun to sit in a car for a few hours with wadded up fast food napkins in my underwear before finding the nearest store. Which, by the way, ONLY sold pads-- pads which leaked.

Body, the dog was creeping me out when she licked her lips at me because apparently I smelled like a raw steak.

Body, I washed my shorts at a dirty gas station and they are now hanging out of the car window like an angry kite.

I undertand that things happen when they're supposed to, but it would be awesome if this travelers constipation thing would just give in. There's only so much I can blame on the dog.

Love me

S Club Mama said...

oh my gosh, there is nothing worse than having to use napkins or the thinnest toilet paper ever when you have your period. :( so sorry

Justine said...

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! Your period while nowhere near a store, plus constipation and the stinky farts that come with it? FUN FUN FUN!

Justine :o )

Oh God, that's horribly funny. I hear ya on the traveller's constipation thing. It's like your bowels are saying, "Ahhhhh!!! This is not our toilet!". I get that every time I travel...and I don't have a dog! ;) Thanks for sharing your misery. I'm laughing with you, not at you. Haha.

So, frequent all the fast food places and gather up as many napkins as you can find. Tie them together in a roll with dental floss. Viola! A tampon! :)

Sorry Aunt Flo is visiting while you're on vacation. You can seriously learn lots about your body while out in the middle of nowhere. Just watch out for male bears that may be looking for a new babe!

Karen said...

Michele Renee said...

I was all awaiting mine when we were on vacation and it bever came. Thank you for that, and thank you for arriving after 45 days. Welcome to perimenopause..... I can't believe I am my age and still having the pregnancy scare conversation with my husband.

I don't know how you gals do it... I guess the only way guys could really relate to it in a sense is" imagine if we shit our pants every day for one week during the month? That seems fair, right? hahahah!
