I had one of those days yesterday, those days driven by an irrational hormonal crazy woman, where everything makes you lose your shit and you murdered at least fifteen people with your mind. Like the idiot who pulled out in from of me without indicating (he ran up the arse of a truck); the rude old man in the lawn mower repair store (he was impaled on his lawn mower part); the woman who dawdled at the pace of a sloth in the shopping centre (she was rammed with a trolley, fell awkwardly and died); or the woman at the creche in the gym who I asked to call me if my little boy was not coping and did not (her head got wedged in the electric doors).

I have played with the idea that its everybody else's fault. If I have PMS and there is no other human being around, it's like it never was. But if a human being enters my presence, they might as well wave a red flag at a bull e.g. husband wakes up next to me, lies there sleeping peacefully, he will undoubtedly piss me off for a variety of reasons:
1. He is still asleep and I am not
2. He is breathing too loudly
3. He is encroaching on my personal space by doing something awful like holding my hand
He has no idea how close he comes to being smothered by a pillow!
I am not a violent person. Well actually I am - once a month, in my mind at least. Does anyone else get like this?
I'm reading the Hunger Games at the moment. If they unleashed me in the arena on a day like this, I'd win for sure.
I know what you mean. I only have a day or so of angry but a week of 'cry at the drop of a hat'. And tv does it to me. Just an advert about children, animals or love puts me into a trance & I tear up. My husband annoys me in bed too. When he breathes in my face in bed, if it wasn't there though, I would long for it.
ReplyDeleteBreathing in your face is annoying at any time of the month! But you are right, we would miss them if they were not there :-)
DeleteLately I've really been feeling the PMS haha. This post is great! I get really really hungry and really really angry. Hangry.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I ate about 6 Cruskits with Nutella on them. Standing up. In the kitchen. Without stopping to breathe.
I'm actually awake really early because my husband had the nerve to try to hug me at 5am and after that I couldn't relax because HE WAS BREATHING! I imaginarily kicked him in the nuts and left :P
Hangry - I know that one! And breathing, yes there is far too much of it. My husband read your comment and laughed :-)
DeleteYes, yes, YES!!! Last night my husband told me PMS wasn't an excuse for eating chocolate. Brave or stupid? If I had my way, I'd be wearing black right now!!! Great post x
ReplyDeleteSilly, silly man. My husband read this post then this morning I had 'the look' on my face. He asked me if was safe to continue breathing. He is growing wiser everyday!
DeleteSo this post is hilarious! I just shared it on G+ and off to pin it...
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Rachel. Obviously you can relate! Lol
DeleteYou wait until you get to my age Bree when periods are few and far between. Ask my kids. Its like living with Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Take your pick which day I'm going to be which! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
So I have something to look forward to then - not!
DeleteYIPPEE, I am not alone. And boy do I have to have chocolate..its the only time of the month where if there is a block of family sized chocolates I will eat the whole thing to myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd watch out for anyone that wakes me up on those days!
Glad that I only think about doing things...not actually following through on any of it.
It's like your inner Hunger Games PMS is my inner Hunger Games PMS. We clearly share the same mind, or you know, something slightly more realistic like similar PMS symptoms. I regularly wake up and wonder if I can get awak with kicking #1Hubby to wake him up/stop him snoring/make him move over without being caught.
ReplyDeleteYep, you are not alone. I get hypersensitive to noise at PMS time and everyone else in the house even breathes too loudly for me, not to mention chewing and swallowing noises!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it is being in the girls club!! Ha! x
I totally could have written this - I'm a different person come PMS time, it's scary for all those around me. I concur about loud husbands who take up too much space, I'm not as nice as you, I give my a push and say roll over you're snoring - in my don't f with me voice xx
