This 'n' That
PMS does a real number on me. Not just physically, but mentally, too. Yes, yes, guys, I know you're all icked by this topic. Deal with it. If you have women in your life, you'll eventually have to come to terms with it.This is what's happened to me this week:
- I've been having this weird allergy thing going on with my face. First it was the welts on my throat, now it's my weirdly puffed eyes. It's not a product allergy since I've used nothing new. And I take allergy medicine every day, so I'm baffled by the whole thing. I've switched to a different allergy pill and slapped on soothing creams and ointments to de-puff.
- I had my PMS breakout. Add that in with the puffiness and I look sexy!
- I lost 3 pounds, but I'm bloated. My loose jeans-- at least they were loose this weekend-- were suddenly snug. But no weight gain. I'm really confused.
- I accidentally scheduled the dentist appointment for the day my daughter goes to her very pregnant teacher's baby shower. This is also the last day the teacher will be there. (I scrambled to change the appointment today. I am not that cruel.)
- I'm constantly ravenously hungry; but as soon as I take a few bites, I'm full... Until a minute later. Then I'm ravenously hungry again.
- February really messed me up with its 28 days. I kept thinking my period was late until I counted back. Stupid February.
- The flakiness? Only getting worse.. I keep wandering through the house, trying to remember what I was going to do. I still don't remember.
- My father tried to take my entire bowl of lollipops from me and I shot death rays at him from my eyes. I then snatched my bowl right back. Never take my lollipops away.
- I keep thinking it's Wednesday. Since yesterday. I really love Wednesdays. Is it Wednesday yet?
- That thing I should be doing? Is probably studying. Yeah, need to start cracking open those books. Not looking forward to it with the headache, blurry eyes and cramps I've got going on right now. Determined to read at least a chapter some time today.

You sure it's the PMS and not all the drugs?
Stoner.
hehe.
I'll have you know that I was flakier than a croissant before the drugs!
If I walk into the garage, bedroom, or kitchen again without a clue why I went there just one more time... hmm, I had a point here.
Due to breastfeeding my son for a year, I have only just started to get my periods back a month ago. I'm now having my second bout of PMS since then. Because I had forgotten what it was like to get PMS, I am hating it now with a passion! More so than I ever did before having the babies! I'm tempted to keep on having children just so I never have to go through this hell again.
Just to freak you out about this even more ... I'm perimenopausal & for the last couple of months I've been getting my period every 2 weeks, which means I'm in a perpetual state of PMS. Believe me, it ain't pretty. I have a GYN appointment next week and I'm praying he can do something, anything, to help me. There is a bright side, however. Now I can blame everything on PMS every day of the month. ;)
fej- It's scary how often I do this. Particularly since I was once known for my amazing memory.
Frally- I love my kids. Adore them. But I am not eager to have any more! Mostly because I had "problem" pregnancies and partly because they already outnumber me and that has me worried. They sense fear.
Anne- Well, there's a whole new nightmare.. Yikes!
