Don’t Ask Me!

It’s that hormonal time of the month and it crept up on me unannounced this time.  I have decided that for about one week of every month I should NOT make decisions, organise anything or even open my mouth if I want something sensible to come out.

I have, on purpose, kept away from the blog because I haven’t been able to think straight.  Apologies to the lovely Misslionheart who tagged me at the weekend, I will follow it through as I’ve never done it before and to the very funny Anne who emailed me, I will respond!

I should have realised it wasn’t a good time coming when, I was standing in Homebase preparing to pay for some lightbulbs that I reached into my bag, pulled out my purse and attached to it was a lovely bright green sanitary towel!

I then tried to organise a meal out for my friends birthday next week.  Got everyone to agree on Wednesday when I realised that I couldn’t make it!  I hastily changed it to Tuesday and thankfully it is now booked.

I have also tried to plan a party for June time. Last year I unsuccessfully tried to get some friends together when my sister came over.  So this year I thought send out the invites really early.  It’s our 15th wedding anniversary this year and although that’s not the reason we’re holding it, it seemed like a good excuse.

So this week I notified all our friends of the date to put in their diary.  After chatting to one of my friends at school, she politely pointed out that the weekend I’d chosen was the weekend that my son might be on a school trip.  Oh for goodness sake!  I’ve now got to change that date too.

I get really, really tired and fall asleep at the drop of a hat in the evening and I become very sad and disillusioned with myself. I even told my husband that I wasn’t going to blog for at least three months.  However, he has gently encouraged me back to it with the promise of a new layout and some exciting changes, but not until I have it planned in my head (that last bit is my decision).  Oh he knows which buttons to press!

And then, the sun comes out, those days pass and I become sensible and rational again.  I need to help my husband with the business and I’ve agreed with him that once a month for about a week at a time I must not be asked any major decision making questions.

I also need to find a way of sorting this out, as a week every month is a long time to be ‘out of action’.

I decided to start this year on a positive and it was going well until this week.  It all backfired.   But as my mom often says, tighten your bra strap and start again.

So apologies for not having written this week, I will be back on form very soon.  Oh yes and a very big thank you to my friend, who sent me a very apt email about PMT.  If I can download it, I’ll post it on here to show you.
