Hormones blow. Obviously I haven’t had any PMSing in several months, but back when I did? It always caught me off guard too. It never ceased to amaze me that I could not FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out what was wrong until my period started.

Ha! This usually hits me in the form of random, spontaneous weeping. Like at TV commercials. Eventually it will happen at something so random, so NOT sad, that I will be forced to realize what is happening.

Ugh, I know that feeling all too well. Good for you for recognizing it, and not letting it drag you down.

I have been having a period for over 30 years and I STILL get ambushed by hormones. Yeesh.

So, I was flipping channels yesterday and came across ‘Junior’. Not one of Emma’s most brilliant endeavors, but I couldn’t really pass it up either (I wasn’t feeling well, that’s my excuse!). There’s a great line in it about what we deal with: ‘…and that’s when everything’s normal!’ I thought of you. Love and hugs, soon to be hugs in the flesh!

I am always always relieved to realize I am PMSing when I am being ridiculously emotional and unreasonable.

Golly, thanks for this post and all the comments. I thought I was the only person who forgets about hormonal craziness every month until I’m in the midst. Worst thing about hormones? Having to apologize for being crazy to the boy when at the time whatever I did felt sane and completely justified. Feels like admitting to being the “weaker sex.” Blah.

Sometimes I think we really are the same person . . .

The same thing happened to me at my old job, the one where people actually talked to me. I worked with this annoying guy, but every four weeks I would go apeshit on him because HIS CHANGE JINGLED IN HIS POCKETS WHEN HE WALKED AND OMG! STFU WITH YOUR WALKING! AND STOP ASKING ME STUPID QUESTIONS!

And then like an hour later I was like “oh, shit! I shouldn’t have yelled at him like that.”

It happened every month like clockwork.

Now if I get that feeling, I try and sit back for a second and go “oh, right. That time. Calm down, dummy.”

I read your title and immediately thought of Andy Samburg (SNL guy) and his video, “Like a Boss.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NisCkxU544c

REALLY not the same topic, as it turns out, but maybe the video will make you laugh in the midst of hormonal hell.
