It slips in unnoticed.
A bit of unexplained anxiety.
A bad mood for unknown reason.
Slowly it grabs a stronger hold.
Drivers on the road become personal enemies.
My middle finger wants to stand at attention.
Coworkers become unbearable.
The everyday house becomes too messy to bear.
Small talk is annoying.
Anger wraps it's way through the day.
A fight begs to begin.
Nobody does it right, whatever it is.
The couch becomes desired location #1.
The lights become too irritating.
The sounds become grating.
PMS - you can suck it.
Fortunately, these days this unwelcome visitor only hangs around a day or two. And fortunately, with nutrition adjustments, the majority of other symptoms have diminished greatly. But seriously, PMS, stay out of my life!
On another note, I found this blog post to be so honest, funny, endearing and touching. If you have small kids, once had small kids, or know small kids, you've probably kept a few secrets and you just might like it, too. Click HERE.

Thanks for posting the secrets. I laughed out loud about the chocolate chip cookies. Dave and I have a secret dessert every night after we put the kids to bed.
PMS an just suck it. And me who has run out of progesterone. Lord help my husband.
I don't think I've ever really had the moodiness, but I just feel miserable. In fact, in the last few months I feel so bad that I just take to bed for the most part for two days. Ugh! I'm gonna go read that post. Sounds entertaining!
AMEN!! Maybe that's been my problem this week. I might print your post and hand it out as a warning as people approach me. May even just tape signs to my back and chest that say "GENTLY TOSS WINE/VODKA and chocolate then RUN!"
I hear you! Glad you are finding way to cope better. I must go see what you found for me to giggle this morning.
The plague of which you speak is a distant memory for me. However, post menopause holds its own special list of horrors. I will keep that to myself, though, so as not to depress you. Loved the post from Mommy Man, too. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously, I feel you. But totally jealous that it's only 2 days for you. Lately, I seem to have Pre- During- and Post- MS.
Ugh!
