The other night at dinner John made a comment and I got super sensitive and defensive.
My comeback was, "Don't mess with me, I'm PMSing!"
To which he responded, "Wasn't that last week? That part should be over, right?"
Yes, I know it stands for Pre-Menstrual-Syndrome...but then why do I feel crappy before and during...heck sometimes after. As far as I'm concerned it should stand for Pre/Present/Post Menstrual Syndrome. Sure I may play the PMS card when I'm being feisty but John thinks that there is a seven day window to use that excuse and then is should shut off like a switch. He thinks my time is up and that I am fabricating the symptoms. You're right honey, I eat handfuls of cookie dough, bloat up like a whale, and cry during Oprah just because I feel like it. Okay, part of that might be true. If only guys could get a taste of what it feels like. Maybe I don't know the facts. When are our symptoms justified? Before, during, or after? Medical experts, enlighten me.

You are so funny! That hole that John built the other day was unbelievable. McKenna would just love it. I will have to make Ryan do that next time!
OOOOOOOOH the PMS card. USE IT! I've been using the blessed PREGNANCY card - every day for NINE MONTHS. Why didn't anyone tell me I could get away with so much if I just get pregnant?
I'm pretty sure guys have their pms days, just remind John the grass isn't greener with any other couple! :)
To answer your contractions question: I did have one night full of contractions about a month ago now - haven't had much of anything since. Dr. gave me drugs and luckily I haven't had to use them. I hear they make you really anxious. I just keep them in case although at this point I'd probably just be happy to have the baby if I started them again!
SO funny! Hey at least he gives you a week, Michael thinks it is something we make up so we can get away with being mean for a week, and eating what ever we want! I can't even picture you ever in a bad mood,so I think your PMS card is much more mild then the rest! BTW I think I cry at oprah and all those other dumb shows ever day!
Well since I am a doctor??? I am pretty sure Women can use the PMS card whenever they want!!
pretty funny....gotta love pms times!
Being able to claim PMS is the only good thing about it!!! It really annoys me when hubby ASKS if it's "that time of the month". I'll eat some chocolate for you... ;-)
I hear ya sista! After 18 mo. of no period, yep she came to visit, and I have been a wreck! I forgot how bad this sucks...maybe being pregnant isn't so bad after all!
hey denneys that sounds like alot of fun at the beach our trampoline was like 400 bucks at sams club here in provo net and all included and not to difficult to assemble either. good luck finding one they are alot of fun.
I'm still laughing! I love it! My problem though is that I need to find another reason to eat chocolate all day long the other 23 day of the month! Thanks for the laugh!
Ha ha! You keep it up with that PMS card. Seriously, though... you can't question a girl about whether or not she really has PMS, especially are girl who does.
So what if we use the PMS card. At least there is a medical excuse for it. What our husbands excuse! I'm totally kidding. If they could only understand. You eat all the chocolate you want!
Hee hee! I've been using the Preggo card for the last couple of months. It's great for explaining the dirty house, loads of laundry, and canned soup for dinner. :)
Amen to Cara's comment, until they have the kids, and the periods we are welcome to deal out an entire deck of PMS cards...
Christy, I feel like you are Carrie Bradshaw on Sex in the City!!!! And the answer is all of the above- I think you should use and abuse PMS for all its worth! Periods suck!-sl
Hi Christy!
I found your blog on Elisha's! Your family is cute. As for your ques. I totally think you should ALWAYS be allowed to play the PMS card! Guys have NO clue what we go through! Between Pms and Pregnancy we should get to do what ever we want! Check out my blog sometime--mattandbrianna.blogspot.com
Keep in touch,
Brianna (Blair) Allen
Haha! You're hilarious:) I love the PMS dinner....I'll have to try it! Actually,I'm sure I've had a concoction like it sometime or another w/ all my chocolate binges!
Ha, you're so funny! Luckily I am playing the pregnancy card hard also right now!
Christy!
That cartoon is GREAT! If I owned a diner like that I KNOW you would be in the DINER All the time for some good ol Chocolate! I swear I only know one other person that loves chocolate as much as you and thats Brynlee my Neice!
But I love playing the PMS card and Prego card!
All the more reason to inspire me to nurse my kiddos! Yep...the reward for me??? No periods for 2+ years (if you include being prego until I'm finished nursing.) :)
HA! So freaking funny, and so freaking true. Can you imagine boys being on a period? They would be the biggest whiners!! I say milk it for all it's worth.
oh how I miss you!!!
Christy I love your blog! I think my favorite part is the picture of grandma when she was little. She looks the exact same!!! Hope everything is going good for you guys!
your nice Celeste
