 I'm working all next week, too.  Sigh.

The new kid was very quiet. I don't know if he was just feeling out the vibe of the bus, or if he'll always be like that. If he's always like that, no sweat.

In other news, CRAMPS! HOLY CRAP!

:(

I alternate from feeling fine to OMG I'm not so great get me off this bus now.  

Friday it's supposed to snow and it might be bad, so I can hope that they'll cancel school in advance.  I hope I hope I hope.

Good vibes please?

I need to get my son off the xbox and try to convince him dinner is a good idea. LOL

Does taking ibuprofen or anything like that help? When I was off the Pill, I got bad bad BAD BAD OMFG BAD cramps. Like fetal position, crying, for 3 days cramps. And ibu actually helped so they were still sucky, but at least I could function. You can take up to 800 mg at a time, too.

There's also a style of those stick on heat pad things they make for sore backs and stiff necks that's for menstrual cramps. They're super thin so they don't show under clothes and they're pretty comfortable. Maybe those would help? Also capsaicin patches. IDK how sensitive your skin is, and they do kind of burn for a little bit (not horribly; you notice it, but it gets less over time) but they're really good too. I get the patches and not the cream, though. My skin is too sensitive for the cream and it burns like burning, but the patches are a bit less potent and I don't have any problems with them.

No, it doesn't seem to help to take pills. I take pepto to help the stomach cramps.

I'll look into those different patches (heat patches sound nice anyway, lol) My skin is kind of sensitive so I may not go for the capsaicin patches.

Thanks for the ideas!
