Pity party, table of two.

We are NEVER giving blood together AGAIN.  DH did a double red cell donation and I wasn't going to donate but once we got there I felt bad and there were plenty of openings so I did a regular donation. 

Sarah was pleasant as can be until right when we were both on the cots donating and she cried til I was done unless I was singing "You Are My Sunshine" to her and letting her play with our sunglasses.  And now we are both just WIPED out!  I want to go to bed but there's a load of whites in the dryer that I have to wait for (*weeps*).

On the plus side, this was the first time I didn't feel I was going to/actually faint after donating.  I actually felt pretty good.  Motherhood has apparently toughened me up. Wink

    That's so great that you donated blood!  I have tried so many times but they can never get a vein and I end up nearly punching someone cuz they are hurting me.
