I had a cutesy little post planned for today, but I never actually got around to writing it. I was stricken with a really (and I mean REALLY) bad mood. My eyes drift warily to the calendar. I know it's PMS.
I am willing to bet that PMS is one of the least understood common ailments. Most months, I feel fine right up to the day 'IT' starts, but I assume nature decided not to cut me a break this time. It feels like I am trying to function through a foggy screen in my head -- a mean fog that wants to whack everyone in the face with a baseball bat! I can't concentrate. The simplest questions or requests send me into hysterics. Trying to remember anything is like... what was I talking about....? I'm usually a little psychotic on a normal day anyway, but today I am my normal self crossed with little Linda Blair.
I am curious as to how other women deal with it when they feel this way. What do you do when the toxic level of hormones coursing through your veins causes you to make your kids cry, burn breakfast, and scare your husband into hiding in the garage (I accomplished all that before noon today)?
Do you take Midol and continue on? Do you notify the local authorities so they know in advance in case you do something in anger that you'll regret later? Or do you just cancel everything, cook everyone ramen noodles for supper, and go to bed as early as possible?
My advice to myself: forget the Midol altogether and just take Valium...

When I was in school the secretary in the office was like that so a bunch of us girls got together each of us bought one large box of midol put put them all neatly in a box, gift wrapped it beautifully put it in another box and then mailed it to her at the school...anonymously ....she got the point and was a whole hell of a lot friendlier.
