Yep, it turns out the bulk package of tampons I bought last month will NOT go to waste.

But! I feel pretty confident that I have a 31 day cycle now, as the last two were, and the two before that average to 31 days. Now I’m considering charting, just to see. Can you chart and skip weekends? Because waking up early on weekends is SO not my style.

[interlude] Okay, I’m watching Oprah right now? And it’s a mom-swap or whatever, and this supa-riche mom left notes for the working-class mom, that included “I like to get at least an hour in with my kids each day. I need me-time.” This woman doesn’t even WORK; she and her husband go out to eat every night, but the kids get fed by the nanny. So, the working class mom read that, and started to cry, and said “This woman is SO SELFISH.” And when I say waking early on weekends is not my style, I mean in my NON-PARENT life, and I can’t help but think that I should sleep in as much as I can now, because I will never be able to again when I DO have kids. I can’t wait to see how Supa-Riches deals with being near children AND chopping wood. And I hope Working Class shows those kids that mommies can be near their kids for more than an hour a day. I’m not knocking mothers who work, or whatever, but it seems really, really fucked up to be wealthy enough to not work, and to not even EAT DINNER with your children, and to think that an hour a day — without other responsibilities — is acceptable, or whatever.

So, definitely not pregnant. But now I can go plug in my ol’ 31 day cycle to the ovulation 8-balls and see what comes up!!
