I am a girl.
A romantic, spoiled, sometimes whiny little girl.
I am also strong willed, independent, courageous and decisive.
What, I can't be both?
Here is the kicker...
When I hit my PMS, world has me down, I feel lonely in a house full of people, and ugly despite new hair, new clothes and new mani pedi....
It is time for you to step up, take the bull by the horns, bite the bullet. Be my man because you have a super power you many not be aware of....it's a power to HELP!!
Your actions can make or break my day!
Don't ask me what's wrong because I don't know.
Don't ask if I'm PMSing.
Don't laugh when I cry my eyes out at that American Express Commercial.
Just hold me.
Hug me.
Bring me chocolate or flowers for no reason.
Lovingly rub my back as you walk by.
Empty the dishwasher or vacuum the floor, without me nagging for help, I hate those jobs.
Offer to pick up dinner.
Tell me you love me, love our life, our kids, our world.
Tell me everything is going to be all right.
Send me a loving text or e-mail!
Tap into your "super power"...figure out what I need, because honest to God I don't and I'm one burnt casserole away from a complete meltdown!!
I just need you to look into my soul and become.....
Senor Mind Reader.
Sigh.
Thanks Hon.

Loved the post, think I'll print it out and hang it on the fridge for my hubby!

No doubt! The worst is when they just stare at you, lost, with no idea what to do for you. First of all, stop staring at me! Second of all, rub my back and tell me you love me. Third, get me some chocolate with a side of chocolate! If only they could read our minds...
Honestly? After so many years of marriage you'd think they'dget it!! I've even explained it - in plain English - still... he just doesn't get it!!! ARRRRGGGG!
But, your girlfriends always understand and are always there for you!!
Now if they would only listen. :D
Wait a minute, you don't try to pull his ears off, your hair out, or...wait, oh, me neither um...nevermind.
You could publish this as a how to guide!
This is so perfect. I learned a long time ago to just state the obvious to my family:"I have PMS. I will at any minute bite your head off. Give me space. Don't ask for anything"
I am surprised they have not all moved out yet.
Good luck with this!!
Could I get that embroidered on a pillow?!
Pearl
I hear ya on this one!
perfectly said, now I have to email this to my husband!!!! LOL
I hate when he asks "What's wrong." If I knew that I would probably not be in the funk if I was in. Great post!
I.Can.So.Relate.
***Ally
This will be under my husbands pillow in the am.

AMEN!!!!!!
Will you send this to my husband. He doesn't have a clue. (And I think if he did, it might scare the crap out of him.)
So right on! I'm with Menopausal New Mom. I will print this out and put it where hubby can see! :)
Thank You for speaking for wives everywhere! Husbands could benefit greatly just by reading this and doing some of the requests, cause we know they only do stuff half way most of the time!
Secretia
yeah, good luck with that! let me know how it works out for you.
LOL
cute :-)
I made hy husband come read this!
well put, Thanks x
I love the "don't ask me what's wrong because I don't know". I hear you!! Great post!!
And don't forget the glass of red wine.....:)
We need Mel Gibson in What Women Want. They really have no idea, do they? And it takes all the charm out of it if we have to tell them what to do, but if we don't, they don't do it. Men are from Mars......
I just love that "one burnt casserole away from a complete meltdown". Oh my. I know that feeling.
This post could not be more timely for me! I am totally going to print it out andleave it somewhere for hubby to see it! :)
Sending you some chocolate truffles over. Sorry, PMS Sux.
I think I just may have to let my hubby read this post. I loved it! i must say my hubby is good about saying.."Just don't do it today". but then I will just feel worse tomorrow!
A wise person once said,
"if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy".
And a wise man would be wise to follow this advice.
I'm no mind reader, BUT, I am a wise man. When in doubt, I do something. Anything. A touch, a chore, an I love you.
Cause if momma ain't happy, trust me, around here ain't nobody happy.
OMG! You and I could be twins at this "special time of month". And the only thing I would add is:
"and please don't ask me stupid questions. Or ANY questions for that matter because the odds of me thinking they're stupid and flying into a fit of rage is pretty high....."
Great Post!! Think I should re post on my blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog, I am now following you :)

I purchased my coat from Old Navy :) They have one in navy as well!
I've left PMS and now into menopause. So far, meno has been much easier.
I had my rants during PMS, only to get a blank stare from my husband. Just when you think you're going over the edge(during PMS week), your hormones will take you into another direction as you get older; hopefully a better direction.
I've learned the joy of being selfish. :)
Make him read Men Are From Mars, Women etc. That book has changed more men and women. It's like the encyclopedia for couples.
Seriously! That is it, that would make life so much better, heck, I want that all the time, not just "that time of the month!"
God isn't this the truth!! I have been without for a bit now because of nursing, but it will be back soon!! God help my hubby!!
Yeah, um....riiiiight. lol. Make a list it's easier to give them a list of potential happiness makers than the remember all that.
Plus...a list he can keep with him and then won't have to ask you every month 'what was that again'?
Better yet...get him one of those little mini notebooks and just paste pictures in it. Like a candy bar...flowers...a man doing laundry...
I gotta go. I think I'm gonna make mine a little notebook. lol(no, serious)
well said. Let me know the secret if you ever figure it out how to get him to read your mind :)
Can a guy like this post? I do.
this is one of the best posts EVER! Love it!
I just read that out loud for my husband. That was some true stuff!
lol..love this post!!I'd like to have that in vinyl on the wall!
exactly...
aaaaaah!... so eloquently and honestly written... i love it!
Ha ha! Love it! :)
Haaah ain't that the truth... thank god I have a mind reader or we'd be divorced LOL!
I would add "offer to run a hot bubble bath" and "offer to make a nice tea"... yum :)
This is great! I would pass this on to my husband, but he'll only believe it if it comes from another man. So would you please have your husband forward it to mine. Thanks. ;)
Hey! I added you today and became your 300 follower! Thank you for being my 50th! Love your blog so far and look forward to reading it more! I just moved from Downtown Toronto to the "burbs!" :)
Oh, if only!
I find it a bit annoying when I am asked, what's wrong? I'd rather settle for a hug or something. It would be best to have a partner who knows you inside and out. Words need not to be spoken and action can do a lot of wonders.
