Well, holy crap.   In July, I started experiencing severe pelvic pain, and following months of testing, was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, PCOS, and endometriosis. I got married in September, which TOTALLY SUCKED I was...

My 2nd grader has a "homework packet" for the week... it is around 6 pages of math worksheets. It is up to her when it gets completed. You can do a page or so a day, none one day, etc. She always chooses...
