I remember having a conversation with JR several months ago and I told him that I didn't experience PMS. He said something along the lines of "that's a nice joke". So, I guess while my mood fluctuations were very apparent to him, I was in the dark. This month is different however. Starting yesterday, I could tell that my emotional reactions (especially the negative ones) are about 10x amplified from their normal level.
A frustrating meeting with co-workers caused me a headache and prompted me to tell JR that I wanted to kick someone in the head. A bump in upcoming party plans almost caused me to weep on my keyboard.
I guess that over the years, I've shied away from using PMS as a scapegoat for my mood swings. How will a woman ever be elected president if men and woman continue to believe that for one week each month a woman is not in charge of her emotions? But, I must say that this month the evidence, for me, is irrefutable.
Please excuse me while I curl up in my pajamas with a pint of Chubby Hubby ice cream.
