A helpful resource for my husband.

A few sure signs of PMS:
-I stop wearing makeup because I know I'll look just as ugly if I put it on.
-Whatever time of day you come home....I will probably be in my bathrobe. Maybe pjs. Definently not real clothes.
-Chase will also be in his pjs from last night.
-When I am being unreasonable and you say "Are you PMSing?" (bad bad idea men) I will lose it about how you don't care about my "feelings".
-I generally avoid leaving the house at all costs.
-I will lose it at Jillian Michaels and begin cursing her name when I step on the bathroom scale. (I always gain like 3 lbs during this special time of the month) I will tell her she's a liar and this is NOT the fastest way to get results. I will decide that I'm never exercising again because it's pointless.
-I will spend a record number of hours per day looking at celebrity gossip websites.
-There will most certainly be cookie dough in the fridge...and I will shoot daggers at you with my eyes if you try to sneak a spoonful.
-I will impulsively shop online.
-We will eat frozen pizza.
-I will tell you "I'm fat" fivethousandandfiftytwo times.
-I will try to convince you it's a great idea for a family outing to drive 20 minutes to the nearest McDonalds for a little snackie.
-I will tell you I'm claustraphobic every time you try to cuddle with me. I generally will avoid being touched.
-I will unleash my inner crazy person if you wake my up with your loud boot stomping in the morning.

A few sure signs Matt already KNOWS that I'm PMSing:
-He spends much more time at work than normal.
-Hallie will tell me, that Daddy told her, that I'm being "mean".
-He will humor me with long conversations about all of my "feelings" (I put the word feelings in quotations because us women all know after that fact that they were not real feelings...just hormone induced ones) where I cry with a roll of toilet paper in my hands and he tells me that I AM a good Mom and I AM a good wife and that I AM a good person. Throughout this whole conversation Matt will be fighting off a smile, but he' very careful not to let it break through cause he knows that would open up a whole other can of worms.
-He has all our favorite shows all ready downloaded and ready to watch...so as to avoid having to talk.
-He tip toes a little more quietly in the morning so as to avoid my inner crazy.

Now let me tell you....I have a good husband. I know I do. However, he has his little time of the month as well where I'm doing the tiptoeing. What? I don't want to look like the only beast in this house.
