Ok, this post really has nothing to do with parenting...I just wanted to gripe for a minute. Some days (i.e. today) I really hate being a girl. I will be the first person to announce to everyone in my vicinity that it's time for my period. I figure everyone should get fair warning...that way if anyone wants to head for the hills for a few days they can. It's the mood swings that I can't stand. Today is one of those days. I have literally gone from crying to laughing in a matter of seconds today and it wasn't until 30 minutes later that I looked back and thought "That was completely insane."
I know it's coming, yet I don't realize when it's happening. I'm well aware (and make other people aware) that for about 3 or 4 days I'm just going to be a big ball of crazy, mixed up hormones. But when I'm in the moment, I don't see that I'm doing it. I cry atleast once during every tv show I watch...even the comedies. I pick fights with Aaron that turn into an arguement and when it's over I have no idea what we were even fighting about to begin with. One minute I'm screaming at Avery to pick up his toys and the next I have him cuddled in my arms crying because he's five now and where did the time go anyway? And for the record, the cuddling lasts all of 30 seconds before Avery gives me that "Have you lost your mind?" look and squirms out of my arms.
It's like compulsive liars, they have no idea they are lying. I have no idea that I'm being crazy until after the fact. I feel sorry for Aaron and Avery because they have to live with it. Am I the only person that does this once a month? I don't think I am, but I usually feel that way. And how in the hell do I get control over all this before I lose my mind?

I don't get that way with my period but I just get that way in general now. I think a lot of it for me is having the stress of two kids. All girls understand though. I guess it's a problem for you being around boys all the time.
