I have got PMS something fierce.
Words have been yelled. Tears have been shed. Hair bows have been thrown against bathroom walls and intentionally broken. Threats of head-shaving have been uttered.
I don't know what the deal is, either. I used to NEVER get PMS. No mood swings, no cravings, no cramping. The past few months, though, have been getting steadily more ridiculous. It started with late-night chip and sweet-eating escapades, and it seems a new symptom is getting added each time it comes around.
Today it all started with me trying to get ready and Livers turning on EVERY (and I mean EVERY) electronic device in my bedroom, and I just lost it. I need to do some fierce apologizing. I then tried to tame the rat's nest that is my hair today, and that's when it ALL came out. I usually don't wash my hair at night, but I did yesterday and my nerves are paying for it. I couldn't get it to look half-way decent to save my life. I threw away numerous elastics and seriously took a hair clip and repeatedly threw it against the wall. It did make me feel better, but then I started to cry. I am NOT someone who curses, either, and I let three too many f-bombs fly. Good thing I was locked in the privacy of my way-too-tiny bathroom so little angel ears couldn't hear it.
I'm glad for J not being here, either, because with my hormones being what they are someone would've been ripped a new one. (Probably me, because no one wants to be railed into during their lunch break.) I have to go to the grocery store soon, but unfortunately I don't think they sell a bona fide Chill Pill. I've calmed down for now, but I'm sitting here waiting for something else to set me off. Let's hope that no living thing is within shouting distance when it happens.
P.S. I need to invest in some cute hats a la Dirty Socks and Pizza pronto. I think that could've prevented this morning's mini-meltdown.

WOW - I know just how you feel. I have been THE same way lately. I think the hormones got really worse with me after having kids - and pile on top of that the stress of a toddler....
Oh no Lindsay, it does sound like you are having a bad day. I hope after your grocery trip you feel less stressed. We all feel like this from time to time. Just lately I have felt less irritable but more tearful. Weird isn't it what our hormones do to us?

let me just say, if you're in THAT kind of mood, a hat might not be enough. do not worry, though... there are plenty of us that go through the same thing (and drag our dear loved ones, kicking and screaming, with us).
i have been able to predict my moodiness fairly well and can steer clear of the rest of the fam. that's hard to do with a toddler, i know.
hang in there, and eat chocolate til you puke.
ME TOO!!! Oh my GOD!!!! I should have a warning sign around my neck to avoid any possible man-slaughter charges.
Also ... I noticed my PMS symptoms start to escalate around my 30th birthday. Just thought that might help explain your recent PMS changes.
Me too! Although I have been spared so far since the baby has been born, no Aunt Flo just yet. Of course, I'm not sleeping through the night and I have three kids to chase around, I mean love, and that sometimes is enough to drive me over the edge : ). Hugs, Lisa
PS- You notice what time I am posting this? Yeah, my sweet little baby has been awake since 3am and can't seem to fall back to sleep. WTH?
you know what - I never had PMS until after my third child - NOW - I fell like I am crazy - OUT OF NOWHERE - watch out!
