Also: GIVE ME SOME CHOCOLATE OR YOU DIE.

Monday.

Woke up to Braden screaming at 7am and said to John, “Can you let me sleep in just a little today?  I’m so tired and feel like I’m getting sick.”

Response?  “I guess so.”

And immediately?  I wanted to fly at him like a Banshee and rake my fingernails across his face.  I wanted to wrap my hands around his neck, while the Medusa Snakes sprung one by one from my scalp, and shake him until his head fell off, while screaming, “YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY BUT.OF.COURSE.DEAR, WITH A SMILE, YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!”

 

*ahem*

 

I closed my eyes again and John left to take care of Braden. 

Less than 5 minutes later he deposited Braden (screaming and crying) in the bedroom.  That’s how you let someone sleep in, didn’t you know that?

He had to rinse out a Poop Diaper, so, yeah.  I got up to take care of Braden. 

And you know what?  I decided that Mondays are great days for refusing to wear clothes.  That’s right.  Down to the kitchen for breakfast in my bra and underwear.  Because putting on clothes would be the decent thing to do, but why should I be expected to do the decent thing?  I am clearly not meant to be held to such lofty standards such as “expected” and “decent.”  Nope.  Didn’t feel like it. 

Braden got Panty Theatre while he ate his cereal.

(Funny aside: He pulls the top of my shirts down lately and sticks his hand inside, saying, “Beeeooobeee!” Hilarious.)

Sat on the couch, in my underwear, and watched Sesame Street.

Almost had a Bonafied Mental Breakdown (complete with screeching and panic-attack-like chest tightness!) when Braden peed a huge puddle in the kitchen, then got down on all fours and splashed it alllll around, completely dousing his hair.

Mmmm, Pee-Hair!

Seethed in John’s general direction when he left the house to take some gear to a gear-repairing-type person.  HOW DARE HE FLEE THE DOMICILE?

Finally put some shorts on.  Told Braden to, “stop whining because that is annoying.”  HAHAHA, POT SAYS TO KETTLE!

Basically? I acted like a SHIT for most of the morning.  Then I started working on posts and whatnot, and I kept thinking, “What the hell is up with me?” and “What am I going to write about today?  I usually know by now…” and then I realized it.

I’m in a funk.  Because my body is a whiny pansy-baby hormonal suckface.

Last night, while John bathed Braden, I sat on the couch and ate pretzels with peanut butter and started crying at something on King of the Hill.  Why, hello there, PMS!  How lovely to see you! 

 

Dear PMS: I hate you.  I hate your emotional rollercoaster, and I hate what you herald.  I hate what’s coming next week and I hate everything else right now, too.  Thanks for that. 

Basically, PMS?  I hate you, and I hate your ass.face.

I turn crazy, dude. And cry at anything and get furious at everyone. Actually, I do that most days, but at least I have an excuse once a month…
    Have a pile of chocolate :)

    One day last year my daughter and grand-daughter were PMSing together. S-I-L and grandson looked at each other, then took themselves to the movies, out of harms way. To be fair they did then bring back Pizza and chocolate ice cream for dinner and dessert.

  • I say we all protest PMS… we can form a club and have a secret handshake and everything… the handshake will involve putting our hands around the throats of those who annoy us and shaking. Not enough to hurt them badly, mind you… just enough to put some sense (and the fear of PMSing women) into them. We can call our club WAPMS…” whap-ems”… and of course chocolate will be served… chocolate covered Midol…

  • Yowza…

    And what would the darling husbands do if their ‘sleep in’ was five minutes followed by a baby in their midst?

    I swear…

    PMS is evolution’s result of hundreds of years of living with men.

    Otherwise we would be perfectly content to lay in bed in our granny panties eating Betty Crocker frosting out of the tub with our fingers and crying at the pampers commercial with the foreign babies who need vaccines and can only be saved by your purchase..

    Did any of that make sense?

    Oh wait… I don’t really care.

  • I suspect, even though I can no longer have periods cause my ovaries prematurely retired (and I’m still pissed about that), that I am getting pms-like symptoms each month. I can’t tell you – there are no words – for how PISSED I will indeed be if I cannot have periods (hence, more babies) but still must deal with PMS.

    Someone. Will. Pay.

  • I have a new favorite bad word to share with you = ass pimple. I previously borrowed your “ass hat” (cuz it sounded oh so good to call the hubby an ass hat when he was acting like one) but last night he pissed me off even more than that and the first words out of my mouth were, “Just shut up you ass pimple.” My new favorite words.

    Oh, and yesterday morning the 3yo told me he liked my underoos cuz they had polka dots on them. Grreeeeaaat. It wasn’t bad enough that you wedged yourself into my bed and kept me freom sleeping like a normal person, so you’re going to wake up in time to see me in my nekkedness and make me worry that you’re going to grow up to be a perv.

    Isn’t pee good for your hair? Ancient Chinese secret?

  • Oh, yes, I remember those days. I remember one particular month when I was eying the Hershey’s Cocoa can because it was the only chocolate in the house. I learned that this desperate need for chocolate can be an indication that you are low on magnesium. I started taking a calcium/magnesium supplement and was never tempted by the unsweetened cocoa again. You might want to try it.

  • I commend you on your restraint in NOT violently murdering your husband. Men do not realize the very real danger they are in on those days. When not contemplating what I can throw that will do the least amount of damage to my house, I tend to wander around outside in my PJ’s and slippers because I simply.don’t.give.a.feck. Howdy neighbor!

  • Omigod. Ok. PMS sucks my anus, BUT it is ALWAYS annoying when they are ‘sposed to let you sleep in but they have some minor crisis like – holycrap – needing to do two things at once – and they wake our asses up to handle the kid. because doing two things at once while handling a kid? Apparently not possible when you have a penis.
