Every month I forget to drink my special PMS happy drugs and every month PMS time rolls around I am ready to kill some poor unsuspecting fool that crosses my path.
For example (and feel free to tell me if this would annoy you):
I am really battling with my connectivity and have been for the last few weeks, so I have been having to trek into town almost every day. I’m also in the process of getting my home office sorted out, so I am working from my Mom’s house a lot.
Today, as I arrive at my folks’ house, my Mom chucks a sealed envelope with their will in my face (which freaked me out considering the previous post), my dad is running late for a meeting and was shoving my stuff around and generally looking annoyed.
Then, my Mom asked whether I made a 20 minute telephone call from her landline. And I could feel the skin at the back of my neck crawl as this is exactly the kind of thing my sister would do (she lives with them) and now I get blamed?? So, I bit my lip and asked to see the number, which is my Dad’s computer guy’s number (I only know this as I recently bought a laptop from him). The call cost a whopping R3.00. I got really pissed off, as I am working on a deal at the moment that is worth millions and my Mom is stressing about R3.00. Arrgghhh. I didn’t leave in a huff, I tried to extract myself gently, but geez, I couldn’t stay there anymore today.
The scariest part? She didn’t mean it badly and it is exactly the kind of thing I often, unknowingly, do that irritates other people.
Some mothers’ children.

PMS happy drugs? Do you get such things?
I think I would’ve lost it with my mom if she’d done that, but she usually has a bar of chocolate in her cupboard which always makes things seem better 😉
I have my days as well – and add some normal stress to PMS and you’ve got one scary monster!
A choccie a day keeps PMS at bay – has always been my motto!
Good luck!
Ha Ha!! I know exactly how you feel, I sometimes have to bite my tongue as I am at my folks every day for work. There have been times when I wished I had a laptop or a flashdrive to take the work home and get out of it! 😀
I want to know of these PMS happy drugs of which you speak… where does one find these things?
My parents drive me nuts too, they would also fuss about a R3 phone call, but then go and buy a new flat screen TV without even thinking about it. Parents, huh?
PMS is horrible. I am going to Gynae next week for my annual check up and am going to ask her to do away with my PMS. I bought Femoline at Clicks last month for the PMS. It is a happy drug of sorts but I also forgot to take it. My friend recommended Evening Primrose Oil and says it works for her. I only bought it because DH insisted on it. He says that it is like going to bed with a goddess and waking up with a gorilla that has toothache or something. I had the PMS bad last week and literally wanted to choke my boss and everyone in sight.
Chocolate does help. But chocolate also makes itself at home on the hips.
Have a glass of wine 😉 Glad I’m not the only one that has DAYS!
Remember the happy pills,sooo much easier than dealing with the aftermath
