coffee or any caffineated drink two days before the start of my menstrual cycle. Guess what‚ it worked. The cramps were not as bad as they were when I was drinking coffee. To see if it was the coffee or just not so bad a month‚ I drank one cup of coffee during my cycle and the pain was horrible. So for me the pain drops a good 50% if I just stay away from the caffiene (THIS INCLUDES CHOCOLATE).

Yet‚ I will also never get to see her triumph over cancer‚ never get to celebrate five cancer-free years and finally start to hope that she is finally better.

homework assignment of the worst nature my nine-year-old brain could envision: an essay. My entire class erupted with sighs and groans as my teacher explained the assignment: interview someone you know and write a biography. I was stumped; I didn’t think anyone in my family was interesting. I didn’t have an uncle that was a firefighter or cousin that was an astronaut. I had absolutely no idea who to write about.
