Random post for the month
So, Craig and I have always had a system for determining how rotten we feel at the moment, and here are the metrics:
- cold
- wet
- tired
- hungry
If you are tired and hungry, but warm and dry, you are at 2 alarms. You get some sympathy, but things aren't too bad. When it gets to three alarms, there is an effort to make you feel better and more sympathy. Four alarms, and you get taken care of really well and generally spoiled until the symptoms abate. (You absolutely get sole control of the remote for the duration.)
One alarm? Quit whining. :)
P.S. When I was pregnant, I got an automatic +1 for being pregnant. This helped.
