This month has been insanity. Two of our friends are moving within days, my sisters birthday is the 16th my son's birthday is the 22 and my daughters birthday is the 28th In the middle of all this my parents are flying in for my sisters wedding on the 14th and her wedding is actually the 18th. I feel like a chicken with my head chopped off. Add to this that I have started having hot flashes that makes me feel like someone doused me in gasoline and set me on fire, not to mention that they hit at odd ball times, like when I am out walking in 95 degree weather and you can see that life is wonderful. I have to say that I am super excited about this new chapter in my life. Oh yes. When they said this feeling of going through puberty can last for up to 10 years I almost asked to be euthanized. Gentlemen please don't judge me as for saying that. If you were my husband you might make that happen. The over sensitive feeling of ants biting my skin does not promote anyone touching me I can assure you. As for the other hormones raging through me 100 miles an hour God help me. I am up and down all over the place. Not pleasant. Sarcasm seems to be my main mode of communication in case you might have wondered.
So over all everything is going well, except that I have decided God is definitely a male and is not very fond of his female creations. Why else would he have cursed us to go through child birth and menopause? Men have to work by the sweat of their browse. I'd willingly trade places.
So be patient with me this month as I struggle through it. I will be in and out writing and reading blog post. I have not been murdered, kidnapped, or died, just trying to survive July. Then I can focus on this nonsense going on with my body. Planning on having a very serious talk with myself and pull my head out of my ass as soon as I am done writing this. If you hear a giant pop that sounds like an explosion, wherever you are in the world, know I have succeeded. If not just pray that I get it out of there before I suffocate. I have heard that it is a painful process.
i am pre-menopausal myself and my highs and lows are starting to get more extreme - i just found myself yelling at the push mower. *sigh* :)
ReplyDeleteSomeday this, too, shall pass!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Fishducky. things do improve. Meanwhile I would refrain from eating a lot of eggs. Cucumbers and watermelon used to be my favorite food.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your July! And everything else. Sounds more than crazy, but then again - you are sort of crazy yourself, so without doubt you can do it all! :)
ReplyDeleteSee... And I am sure he is a man, because I am also having my own sort of fun over here... "multiple ruptured cysts". I head to the GYN to see if "this too shall pass" (painfully) or if I need to be vacuumed. *sigh* good times, my friend... good times...
ReplyDeleteWhile I can't comment on any menopausal discomforts (I sailed through mine barely noticing it), I do understand about life getting crazy busy at times. Keep telling yourself that it's for a limited and fairly short time, and focus at the light at the end of this tunnel.
ReplyDeletePick something that you really enjoy doing - be it a day at a spa, or a "girls day out", or an afternoon with a picnic with your husband - and plan that for the end of July. Something to treat yourself to, a reward for having survived the month.
And we all understand that life takes over at times and blogging needs to take a back seat. Good luck with everything!
Have a good week with this month with full of entertainment and joy!
ReplyDeleteYou have not been murdered, kidnapped, or died. Good. Now all you need to do is trade places with me and you'll know it's great to be a man. Um..... Maybe not. Hairy legs don't become you, believe me. ;)
ReplyDeleteLife is good but there can be lots of bumps along the way. Hang in there...:)
