Life, Menstrual and Relationship Cycles

My grandfather requires a quintuple bypass. It will be done Monday. The family drama has already begun. Drug addicted aunt vs. personality disorder inflicted aunt vs. my mother. It will be an interesting holiday season.

I started. Thank the Lord. The PMS was way bigger than I this month.

Ken and I are back on the upswing. Maybe because he's afraid of the PMS. I'm not sure why.

Avery got in the car today after school. She was about to burst. Literally. She jumped in and the words were flying faster than she could form thoughts. Her smile was so large that it distorted the words she was trying to say. Turns out that "they" think she might be gifted and she "needs" me to sign the letter to allow the testing. I've never seen her so excited. I hate this moment. She is very smart. But what if she doesn't "pass" the test. What will the devastation be?
