The Monthly Card
Okay - this post is not for the faint of heart or hormones.....
I rarely.... RARELY...... play the "time of the month" card. I think the last time I did was when I had Rowan (which oddly enough was five years ago TODAY - plus 36 hours).
Today I am pulling it......
Nat on the other hand is having pms issues of her own. She is going thru growing pains. She is home with me skipping out on our group tonight. (Our context group is having a Book Discussion of CS Lewis Third book in the Narnia Series at a Borders tonight.) I feel guilty but she is so miserable right now... you look at her and she starts crying. You say something to her and she goes off. You suggest something and she has a seizure. One minute it is tears and the next minute it is sezing. I can so sympathize..... being a girl is rough. (esp tonight). She is curled up with me reading - happy she can share her hormonal moments with her mom.....
I guess I can take some comfort in that bonding moment!!! Now the real question - will I scrap this? Do I get dad to take this oh so unwonderful picture of Nat and I in our robes, hair a mess, looking incredibly hormonal.... I am thinking yes.......
Ok gotta go make more herbal tea......
Oh - and ona side note - being how punky I am feeling now.... Praise God for Ms. Betty's double pancakes last night.... she must have known......

Today I am pulling it......
- Maybe it was the stress of the interview (like the anticipation of.... as if it would have changed anything before, during and after? and believe me the interview yesterday was STRESSSSSSSSSSFUL! I am still recovering....... OBVIOUSLY)
- Maybe it was the new diet/new workout? BALANCE
- Maybe it's just that I have STILL 10 projects all in the works at once?
- Maybe it's the fact that my eight year old and I are horomonally crossed right now?
- Maybe it's because I had been up since 0600 on 1/31 when I finally hit my bed at 1400 today?

LOL! I was just getting ready to put an entry in my blog about how miserable and emotional I've bee the past few days because of my "special" time of the month. I too felt a little guilty about doing this, thanks for the extra inspiration!
