Please lock me in a closet

The topic of PMS'ing is probably going to come up every month.

This morning my husband asked if I was PMS'ing. Since him asking me that didn't drive me completely ape shit, I'm going to guess, no I'm not. I checked my calendar and the world should still be safe for at least 4 more days.

Word of advice to men though, if you really, really think your wife is, just assume and don't ask. Asking is going to set you up for a session of screaming, yelling,  and name calling.

Ladies, do you have extreme cases? I feel like I do. Only over the passed few years. I'd love to hear some natural ways to tame the beast within if anyone has anything to share.

On a different topic, I set a new personal record at the gym. I ran 1 mile in 12 minutes and 32 seconds. Yes it was on the treadmill but I'm proud of my little legs and heart too. I'm really hoping to hit the pavement in the spring and aim to do some sort of 5k to start and aim for a 10k. Goals! I have them!!

The final hours of 2012....

It's 8pm and all is quiet in the house. Kaylee is at her father's for the night, Rob is doing some business work and Emmett is taking a very, very, late nap.  I guess he'll have the opportunity to watch the ball drop with us in 4 hours.

Reflecting on the year brings lots of warmth to my heart. 2012 was a year with lots of love and little disappointment. That's doesn't mean there's nothing to improve on in 2013. There's a lot and I'm sure we'll need to constantly reinvent who we are as times and the world change.

One of the things I want to try and put some positive focus on is a negative "subject". That subject being PMS. Over the last few years, my changing monthly hormones have taken on a whole new perspective. I don't like it and I know for sure my family would love to see a positive change.  I've been to the doctor only to be told to go on birth control. That is not something I want to consider. There has to be a more natural way to correct this. So any suggests are welcome with open arms.

Literally the week before, I become a raging bitch (excuse the language but it's fitting). This becomes a time were it is literally best that I don't bless the outside world with my presence. I lack a filter and become a selfish, mean woman. And let's mention the 10lbs of water weight that I gain and make me feel like a million bucks!

Maybe with good nutrition and some meditation I can become better than what PMS makes me. Are there any natural remedies? I really do need help!
