Don't Say I Didn't Warn You

I absolutely hate PMS. The little voices start telling me things that are untrue and they want me to have a pity party. They say things like...

You are so fat.

You are so ugly.

You should feel sorry for your husband because he has to have an ugly fat grouchy wife.

He deserves better than you.

You are lazy.

This house is a mess and it's because you are a terrible housekeeper.

You should just eat junk...you'll never lose weight.

You are worthless...what did you do today?...oh wow you did laundry...someone give you a trophy!

The only friends you have are on the internet.

Everyone secretly feels sorry for you.

Everyone knows this diet will last for a few weeks and then you will give up.

You are so needy.

I hate feeling like this. I am normally a very upbeat person. At least it only lasts a couple days.

On the bright side...this is one of the only times I speak my mind...and where am I going on Sunday...DR. HUBBY"S FAMILY REUNION! mwhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahha! Let the FUN begin!

Dangerous Mood Ahead

Last night I was headed to the computer...I was gonna type out my feelings...I was gonna post them for all to see...tears falling down my cheeks...I needed to get it all out...out of my head...then Dr. Hubby and Manga Dork came home...you all owe them...

One word....PMS!

Unfortunately this caused me to miss Scrap Chat Hour at AMR.

Bummer. I love chatting with the ladies every Tuesday...you scrappers out there would like it too! ScRaPbOoKfReNzY is the hostess every Tuesday at 8:30 pm CST. All board members are welcome.

I Have the Blues...

*I have the blues...I mean the huge big ol' pity party kind of blues. Honestly I feel like I don't have anyone here where I live. My family is all 4 hours away and I am stuck on this farm with inlaws that lie and talk about me behind my back. My MIL and FIL are traveling to their other home and will miss Cutie's bday, but will be back for my niece's. I feel so insignificant. I struggle with the Mrs. Dr. Hubby thing or "That's doc's wife." I used to have a name. The 2 little ones are so sweet but they are exhausting! Manga Dork is a total teen and I am not used to being "the enemy." I hate cleaning! I am so sick of it. I hate dieting...I have been sneaking snacks and can't seem to get back on track. I feel so fat and ugly. How unimportant do I feel when my hubby comes home and talks about all the great doctory things he did and then he looks at me and I say..."I made a card today" or "I mopped the kitchen." Who am I kidding...the floor still needs mopped...lol! I need a tissue...

*I reserve the right to delete all these thoughts if they turn out to be PMS induced.

Proceed With Extreme Caution...

Today has not been a very good day. My PMS started affecting me late last night and I woke up this morning in full PMS swing. I haven't been able to tolerate hearing someone else breathe! No exaggeration. It has been a miserable day. I was a couple minutes away from putting the kids up for sale on ebay when this came in the mail...

A gorgeous card from my bloggy bud Melonscraps. She is such a talented gal. The colors on this card are gorgeous! It couldn't have arrived at a better time either!

I also received a letter from the Apple Gold Group that owns Applebee's restaurant. They sent me a letter saying how concerned they were about the metal in my food incident and that they are trying to find what it came from. They thank me for my time twice, but never apologize. They included a $50 gift card. Very nice gesture. Not sure I can use it any time soon though. My eating out anxiety has now been extended to nightmares. The other night I dreamed I found a HUGE nail stuck down in the side of my cheek. When I pulled it out it was about 5" long and rusty. Yikes! Hopefully that will go away.

I hate feeling the way I feel right now. I am usually happy and laughing. Now I just feel grouchy, bloated, headachey, and fat. I think I'll go write some hate mail to Carmen Electra...


Happy Monday! Tomorrow we start school...

Moody Monday

Ok, this is torture...I am starting to wonder if my PMS is going to linger FOREVER...Aunt Flo...where are you? I have been having mood swings one after another. I am sure my family thinks I am just a ball of fun. Yikes!
This made me giggle today. One of the few things that broke through the hard shell of my PMS armor.

I am having Mommy Overload and I need a small break. I am trying to help Manga Dork lose a few pounds by watching her food intake . Foster son's therapist wants him to stop bed wetting. I have to make peeing the bed VERY inconvenient for him so it is easier NOT to pee the bed. Not fun. Wild Child is not cooperating with the potty training. Cutie Patootie has a bad case of diaherhea. Yuck!

Hope everyone is having alot more fun! Happy Monday!

When it rains....It Pours

We are still continuing all the fun with the cousins. We invited Manga Dork's 2 BFFs over and had a late night waterballoon fight. They were so funny. Wild Child and Cutie Patootie would only throw pink balloons.
On Friday, Mother In Law and I took my 4 kids, the 2 cousins, and the 2 BFFs to the local pool. It was my first time there. I have only swam in a public pool once and I ended up with pink eye. Not fun. They all had a great time. Cutie Patootie took up for Wild Child against a little boy trying to steal her rubber ducky. The sight of it touched my heart and I ended up in tears.
Friday night we had a rough thunderstorm. I was hoping it wouldn't blow our new trampoline off the hill! We have such rough winds we are going to anchor it down. Luckily, it was still there this morning.
I woke up this morning with terrible PMS. I have always had a rough time, but it seems to be getting worse. When I went to the gyno she showed me a chart and asked me to name the symptoms off that chart that I was having. Simple....ALL OF THEM! LOL! She offered medication, but I want to try some other things before taking medicine. My mood swings are the hardest to deal with because I know this affects my family (not just me). I try my best, but I know I am cranky and I CRY constantly. Do you know any tips on dealing with PMS?

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Don't forget tomorrow is Father's Day!

Thursday

PMS is about to get the best of me. Oh my goodness. I believe I have had a thousand mood swings today. The babies went to cheernastics this morning. They love it. I think I am really stressed out over making the decision of whether to adopt our foster son or not. I am going to watch the Nanny Diaries with our 12 year old. Hubby is sick. His grandmother is going to pass away in a few days. He will be left with only one grandfather now. I hope he feels better so we can travel to see her one more time. I think that will be good for him.

I can't believe David Hernandez was voted off American Idol. Oh well!
