Well, on a very personal note, it's been a year and 10 months and finally, Aunt Flo has returned. This, of course, explains my bad attitude over the past several days and my impulse purchase and (sadly) my eating of Oreo cookies at 10 am yesterday.
I forgot how much getting your period sucks. I mean, it's almost been two years since I've had one. And I'll be perfectly frank, it was AWESOME. I got my period back when Liam was about 4 months so I didn't reap the benefits as much, but I think the fact that Marlo never really took a bottle (with the exception of a couple of times) and that I'm with her all day prolonged AF's return.
It's truly incredible what women endure. I feel like I am in constant battle with womanhood. Menstrual cycles, pregnancy, breastfeeding...either way, there's an attack of crazy raging hormones. Is there ever a time in a woman's life when she's not under attack?
Joe and his friends are trying to organize a men only football watching day and (most likely due to my current state) I was aghast at him even asking me if he could attend. Ugh, I just don't know if I'm ready for the emotional ride of being fertile and dealing with periods. I was finally getting to a place where I felt good at being a SAHM and then this hits and it all starts getting messy again.
I know it's all just nutty hormones making me feel like crap, but I'm just not use to this mood swing thing. What a buzz kill on life!
On a happier note, my nanny is coming today so I think I'll do something nice for myself. And we have plenty of delicious wine from our trip last weekend to indulge in once 5 o'clock hits. Oh, who am I kidding...once 4 o'clock hits!
4 is totally fine for wine.
