The Curse

I don't know if it is universal or not, but I really hate my "time of the month."

When I was growing up, many of my friends were allowed to stay home from school during the "visit from their Aunt Flo." MY mom, of course always told me "riding the cotton pony" was never an excuse for being bitchy or staying home or getting out of anything!!

Yesterday, I read in a fitness magazine that during "your period" you should continue to work out to help cramps...........ugh!

I have also read that vigorous sex while "Mother Nature" is around helps relieve pain and is great because hormones rage during the "cycle."

I spent three years tracking my "miss dot" thinking that it was my fault every time I fought with STBEH. And while every good statistician will tell you that correlation does not prove causation, I am happy to report there was not even ANY correlation. I discovered that he was just a jerk no matter what week it was!!

I have found, however, I do have a problem. I used to be "on the rag," 10 a.m . every 31 days. I have become a little less regular. The bigger problem is I can always count backwards 4 days from the start date to a complete meltdown. Now, I know meltdowns, I have a 3 year old and quite frankly I can put her to shame. I even shed more tears........

There are other symptoms, too. When I am "sitting at the red light" I have an enormous unbelievable migraine just a few hours before. Even more disgustingly alarming, during the "moon phase" I gain several pounds!!!

I just wish knew when I will be "wearing red shoes." Then I could say to myself this is not me really being angry or this person is not really a jerk, I am just "Hunting for Red October."

I am thinking of talking to my doctor about this. I would like it if I could pop a pill and miss the symptoms I am having from the "English test." But how would I know when to pop that pill??
I am thinking Mom might have been right and it all comes down to self-discipline, geeezzz that sucks............maybe I will just continue the tantrums..........hahaha
