אילת מקבלת

My friends taught me a new phrase-"Ayelet Mekabelet", it's from a song about a girl named Ayelet who gets her period. So the term, "mekabelet" refers to getting your period.
Which hurts a lot. (the period, not the phrase) When it gets really intense, you have to wonder, are kids worth this much pain even though the pain passes? It's not someting you can ask a mother. What is she supposed to answer to that? "No, you aren't worth the pain I went through to be able to have you." Who wants to hear that or make someone say it? I believe we're only given challenges we can handle but when the pain is so great, you end up wondering how much more you can take, how much longer before suicidal thoughts cross your mind, or just giving up in general. Then what? Sure there's Aleve and all those painkillers, but when the pain is intense and you've been too stupid to feel the pain coming along and take the painkiller before the pain gets unbearable, the painkiller takes too long to kick in and the pain might as well have passed by the time the painkiller sets in.
It was cool, though, last time I had It I made it through the whole thing without one painkiller, even on day one.
