I hate hormones, I hate the way my husband hides from me (who could blame him), I hate the way the little 'sane' me is still in there, pleading with the 'crazy' me to calm down and cut it out. It's a miracle that women survive at all, with all the hormones that flux in and out of our lives.Liz Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085308886362660283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026144081530809886.post-17313156816384009342007-09-25T13:16:00.000-04:002007-09-25T13:16:00.000-04:00Kari, I get really bad PMS so even though I'm not ...Kari, I get really bad PMS so even though I'm not experiencing this 'yet', I'm sure I will in the future!! I get totally irrational, stroppy and teary and take it out on Tom mainly and my poor class sometimes get it in the neck too! So don't feel bad-we can't help it-but chocolate totally helps to alleviate the symptoms!
