Isn't it Ironic?

Definition of "missed opportunity": When a woman puts the kids to bed, cleans the bedroom, dons silk lingerie, lights candles, and comes downstairs at 9:00 pm only to find husband has fallen asleep on the couch. Woman tries to wake husband up, but to no avail.

Next day, woman gets her period. Not just a little 'ah what the hell we can just put a towel down' period - NO - more like 'recently stopped breastfeeding and now hormones are making up for approximately 17 period-free months by trying to cram the sum of all periods into one 5 day span'. No towel will do the job here, not even a ShamWOW. Husband spends week kicking himself and cursing womankind.

Your blog is hilarious! I've been reading all your archives and I'm hooked. Ironic that I'm also in the midst of the first red tide since having my son and I'm STILL nursing. I'm crying foul- it's not fair.

I gave you a bloggy award over at my blog. I know my readers are going to love your humor!
