Weighed down with a laundry basket, I had no choice but to flail around and accept the reality that I was about to turn my ankle and eat some laminate flooring.

I had a Mommy Meltdown of epic proportions which included yelling, The Mad Mom Face, arm flailing, more than a few wagging fingers and a hefty dose of guilt thrown in for good measure. “Do you know what could have happened to me? I could have broken my leg!”

    Congrats on being featured Ms. Thing! It was a great post and spot on. On one hand, I’m glad to be down to 4-5 periods a year. However, having them replaced by incontinence is a big ol’ bucket of suck!!
