When you have PMS there are just certain things you should not be doing. check your cycle, mark your calendar, and be to NOT do any of the following during your bad week.
It’s just good time management.
1. DON’T hang out with extended family members.
Let’s face it. Yeah, we love them and everything, but there are just certain times when we need to know…it’s ain’t gonna be fun. Don’t feel bad. I’m sure they would rather NOT hang out with you when you have PMS, so just think about it as pure consideration for others. It’s inevitable that you will not enjoy their company, and you WILL be reminded of why you hate hanging out with them, so just wait until next week. Extended family is way more fun when you’re estrogen levels are high.
2. DON’T make big decisions.
Cable or Direct TV?… Refinance for a lower rate on the car?… We should have a garage sale…TODAY!…I think we need a new living room set….A dog! Yes, we need Dog!…
Stop woman! You’re not thinking straight!
Don’t make decisions this week. 1. Because everything that seemed like a good idea really wasn’t, and 2. you’ll have to talk to your husband a lot, and that is not a good idea either. Which leads me to #3.
3. DON’T talk to your husband.
He will just annoy you, and you will not agree on anything. When he starts to see your in a bad mood, he’ll try to help you, and that will annoy you even more because he won’t do stuff the right way, so just smile a lot and keep your mouth shut.
4. DON’T Grocery shop.
It’s like going to the store hungry. Instead of dinner you’ll spend $200 on cleaning supplies and chocolate. When you get home you’ll just be ticked off that you spent 3 hours at the store, spent $200, and still have no idea what you’re going to make for dinner. Plan to double shop the week before. It’s so much better.
5. DON’T do school.
OK, just kidding, but wouldn’t that be awesome?
You should eat cupcakes, though.

Extended breastfeeding does have its advantages – no periods! For me anyway

I wish it was appropriate to breastfeed for life. I’d be skinny and nice. Hello!
Don’t get out of bed, don’t talk to anyone and make sure no one bothers you!

Amen, girl! I wish!
I pretty much think I should just lock myself away for a few days and not talk to anyone.

Amen, girl! I wish it was that easy. That’s what they did in the old days. Women had to go sit in the corner or some jazz like that. I bet it was not so much for cleanliness, but they were probably total bitches! LOL

Agreed, agreed, AGREED!
Omigosh I am MEAN just before my period. Cranky, snarky, smart-ass to the extreme. And I am hungry, tired, and have straight up attitude. I’ll play nice but it doesn’t take much to set me off just before Aunt Flo comes around. Just give me chocolate, wine, and my favorite snacks. I’ll be fine.
Great post!

Ha! I know, I just went to the store last week (during that special time) and I bought cheetos, diet coke, and a bag of Hershey’s bliss. I ate that bag of “bliss” in two days. Two days! The cheetos were gone in a day.

I try to never, ever go to the grocery store while this is happening. I come home with all bread products and expensive flavored drinks. I wish I could also avoid committing to pick up or drop off my children anywhere, because apparently I forget about all of it during this time.
