Thankful for being a woman...not!

Well, today I planned to post my response to the Indie Ink Writing Challenge until I realized the challenge was due yesterday. I thought it was due today! I blew that one. So instead, I'm here to talk about being thankful for being a woman and PMSing (Ha!) which I meant to post yesterday for the Thankful Thursday link-up and forgot. (Sorry, Heather, for this not being a traditional 'Thankful' post! Hehe) What has been up with me these past couple days?! So this is a cue to the guys to stop reading, if they wish. It's not gross or anything, though...

Typically, my body reminds me that I need to take out my birth control (thus, starting my period) before my calendar does. I'm definitely thankful that I am 'in-tune' with my body, but how so? Well here's a list of completely stereotypical and unstereotypical things that fit me. The signs typically start 2-3 days before.
I know I've just posted a picture of this, but it's so good. I can eat an entire bar and have it be less sugar than a can of soda, and the bar is huge! (Think king size Hershey's bar?) 

I continuously gravitate toward the chocolate aisle at the store. I don't typically eat a lot of chocolate, yet I still end up there. That's when the light bulb goes on.

I cry over simple things, like the fact that it's not raining outside. If I'm going to be all crampy and tired, I would like the weather to be stormy outside, for some reason. Sometimes I'm so sad by the fact that it's sunny outside that I just cry.

I yell at my husband, but in the same sentence immediately say I'm sorry and that I don't know what's wrong with me. Again, that's when the lightbulb goes off.

I just want to cuddle. I'll call Vince at work almost in tears and say, 'I'm just having an off day. It's not bad or good, I just want to go home and cry while watching a movie with my head in your lap.'

I want to wear sweatpants everywhere. Everything else just seems tight and uncomfortable, and how can  say no to soft, sweet, inviting sweatpants?

I crave milk like crazy. I'd drink a gallon a day if organic milk weren't so darn expensive!

Do you ladies crave anything weird or do crazy things when it's 'that time'?

  2. The yelling at my husband and in the same breath apologizing is so familiar!!!!! Sometimes I don't know how Dave can stand me. I also drink milk like crazy. And my head always seems a little more muddled. I am less motivated to work when I'm PMSing.

    1. I ask myself the same question about Vince being able to stand me sometimes! Haha I'm also less motivated to work as well. I just feel like laying on the couch and reading all day!
