Today is the Day

Okay, so today is the day I should be getting my period. Used mymonthlycycle.com to track for the last several months and it says 29 days. Good news is that I took some Midol and am feeling much less bitchy than I was yesterday!!! Midol is a miracle drug. Unfortunately all these symptoms mean that I am probably getting my period. Used the "just in case" method of using a tampon before getting my period because, well, when you teach you can't just run to the bathroom any old time. My body makes me so mad though because several times I went to the bathroom sure that I needed to change and I knew (you know...) that my period had not actually started. Why does the body do this? It's like dangling this carrot out in front of me....you might be pregnant...you might be pregnant. So not nice! Unfortunately I'm a realistic dreamer, meaning that I am very good at getting my hopes up emotionally while my brain knows the real story and won't let me forget it....yay well. I love the waiting game with your period...even if you aren't waiting to be pregnant!
