Cheer Up Little Cowgirl

I've been feeling off the last couple of days, down, and blue and as though there's no hope for anything. Normally I would describe myself as fairly positive so it can be alarming when I have days like this. I can get like this when I'm PMSing, but I usually don't realize that this is what's going on until later and then it's like oh yeah, that's why I was such a crazy woman. So at least this time I have figured out what is probably behind the Eyeore attitude.

The boys started their new swimming/craft class today so I had a whole 2.5 hours to do grocery shopping with only one little person in tow (hooray!). Hoping to lift my spirits, I went to Sobeys to buy some of the Stilton cheese with mango and ginger that I've become addicted to. And darn them, they didn't have any! I almost started crying, seriously. And then I got mad! How dare they run out of my cheese. They had a stilton with dried cherries, which I quickly discarded with scorn. How could those stupid cherries measure up to my mango and ginger? And as all these emotions are coursing through me, the logical part of my brain is saying I really need to get a grip, but the PMSy part of my brain is screaming, DAMN THEM, all they had to do was order the cheese!!!!

The sane me is back tonight, for now. We'll see what tomorrow holds. Although I'm going out for lunch with my co-workers tomorrow at a fabulous east indian restaurant. Perhaps the hormone gods will be appeased by butter chicken and naan bread. For the sake of all those around me let's hope so.

Hormones are pretty much the worst thing in the world. Maybe worse than having no chocolate in the house. I'm sorry that you're feeling down and crazy. I will call you today! Love you!

Ha! It's like you're telling my story. Almost every time I do the whole "Ah yes, so that's why I was a psycho for a few days there". Good times.

And cheese makes it all better, truly. Stilton...mmmmm.
