Well, it's happened. I'd heard nasty rumors that kiddo
had develped hair in her pits, which meant we were on a
six month clock for... this.
Kiddo dutifully reported, with a measure of pride, that
she'd had some spotting yesterday. And just like that,
Operation Shark Week went into effect. She went to school
today with a few extra items in her backpack.
I'm not having an easy time with the news. For as much
of a hypochondriac as she has been, I fear she'll become
a "regular" in the school nurse's office again (she described
the new nurse this year as an 'A-hole,' by the way).
I can't imagine the amount of Zoloft the middle school
nurse must be taking.
UPDATE:
I saw this post from two years ago in This Week in halfgk History and couldn't resist an update.
As it turned out, it hadn't begun. Actually, it *still* hasn't begun.
She's had a little spotting from time to time, but Aunt Flow has yet to visit.
She's 13 now, and halfway through her 7th grade year. It's gotta be coming soon, right?
I wonder if medications she's taking are affecting this?
