Could Be Worse, Maybe?

Pink eye in both eyes, fever, aching, cold symptoms and a period. Sounds like a Christmas ditty, doesn't it? Nope, that's my life recently. Oh yeah, and the third kid is starting to get it now too.

Just re-read this, and the third kid is not getting HIS period, just THE OTHER SYMPTOMS!

I know things could be WAY worse, but why can't I even get two minutes to change my tampon in peace? I'm in the bathroom, and I locked the door. There's a banging and a turning of the knob.

"PRIVACY!" I yell.

Not happening. I hide the tampon (not in the place where I should HAVE hidden it--heh-heh), and open the door. It's Tukey and he has to "GO NOW!" So, do I finish my business? No, I get up, pull up my pants and let him go. I head upstairs to finish what I set out to do (probably six hours ago!), get into the bathroom, lock the door, and before I can get the business done, there's another turning of the knob. Tukey again. Cripes, does he have "Tampon Radar" or something?

Anyway, I don't know if it's good or bad that summer vacation is in full swing right now. If the kids were still in school, at least I would be able to lie on the couch by myself for part of tomorrow. [Big Sigh]
