PMS is Not My Friend

I've always struggled with PMS. When I was younger I was plagued with horrendous cramps. Over the years the cramps have almost disappeared, but the mood swings....whew...they are ugly. Just ask my kids. Yesterday and today I've been less than pleasant company. Last night I went to bed early (for me) and when my kids came in my room at 7:50 this morning, I bit their heads off. And that was just the beginning. I don't even like myself today. My kids weren't any worse today than any other day. It was me. I know it. I admit it, but I'm not really sure what to do about it. I'm currently making myself a supersized plate of tater tots. At 10:30 p.m. Because I wanted them. And then I'm going to bed, and hoping that tomorrow will be a better day.
