I am miserable. And not my regular type of miserable. The kind of miserable that calls up her BFFs Bitchy and Bloaty and they are all having a Pissy Attitude party and wearing 'I *heart* My Bad-itude' party hats and there's a matching tablecloth and banner. Did I mention the Pissy Attitude party was in my uterus? And Misery, Bitchy, and Bloaty are apparently smashing glass in there and then stomping on it. While slam-dancing. And practicing their WWE moves. Come to think of it, it's kind of like a bunch of 12 year old boys are having a sleepover.
My stomach hurts, I'm tired, I'm hungry, I don't want to eat, I can't stop eating. I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 165 lbs. Granted, I have put on 7 or 10 lbs from quitting smoking. (8 weeks today, heck yeah!) Possibly, it may also be due to factors such as
I'm cranky, and moody. One second I'm smiling and laughing, the next moment I'm the Thing What Is Trying To Kiss
I want sex, no I don't want sex, I want sex but can you do all the work?
My face is breaking out in a giant Heater Patch with throbbing pimples everywhere. At last count, before I stopped counting, was five giant growths. On my face. One of them was like a collection of little pimples all mobbed together. I can't even exfoliate (and by that I mean "pick") because my skin is so sensitive what with all the effing PMS hormones racing around my bloodstream. I tried to pluck my eyebrows but noooooooo that hurt too much. So now I have giant Pizza face and grizzly bear eyebrows. What's that, grizzlies don't really have eyebrows because their faces are covered with hair? Yeah. Ex-ackally.
Can this stupid period just show up and put me out of my misery? The only thing worse than anticipating five days of gut-wrenching ass-dragging exhaustion is the actual gut-wrenching ass-dragging exhaustion. So can we do this already, uterus, and get it over with for another month?
I don't get any of that. I just get insane. Oh I'll realize I'm insane, but I'll rip your arm off, cram it down your throat and stand there whilst you tell me it's yummy before I'll fess up. And then dig my heels in. Growling and drooling may or may not have been known to happen. Then random crying. I'm fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why I love having a Mirena IUD. No PMS, no periods, nothing. Just the regular mood swings and bitchiness from living with 4 XY chromosomes. Yup, life is pretty great without that monthly curse.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way- 8 WEEKS OF NO SMOKING! HOLY COW! GREAT JOB, I AM SO STINKIN' PROUD OF YOU!
Damn, that sucks. You made me have sympathy PMS for ya, just reading all that. Poor you.
ReplyDeleteListen, I'm jsut gonna say I gained 28 pounds in ONE MONTH when I quit smoking so your 7-10 pounds are child's play. You'll lose it again as soon as you balance shit out. And if not, hopefully you gained a little in your boobs.
Well, at least the pimples aren't on your butt. (Does that help?)
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, I've just contracted a raging yeast infection.
ReplyDeleteBooyah to you and your PMS.
;-}
mmm... raging yeast infection...
ReplyDeleteI have been pregnant, and nursing so many times in the 4 years...I barely remember PMS. Thanks for reminding me....
ReplyDeleteI love my menopause. I really do.
ReplyDeleteyeah...me too. First day of it today, I know because I had the urge to kick my husband onto the floor, and that's the first sign. That, and the entire bag of vinegar and salt chips I ate yesterday. So maybe yesterday was the first day. When I finished having kids,I was SO ready to dispense with the whole lady bits thing Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAnyway- reading your profile..Pez dispenser! HAW! Good one, I'm borrowing it. I had 3 kids in 3 years (they're now 21,18,19).
Damn Moon Hut of the She Wolf Sister....that place should be burned to the ground.
