Womanhood is a Big Meanie..

I haven't had much to say this past week.
I'm tired, calm, meh, craving salt, not talkative, not sleeping great, and feel like the 14(excluding commuting time) hours between when I leave work and when I return is not really enough time. Feels like only a few hours in between most days lately.

Then it occurred to me to ask myself, what's changed? At first I thought nothing.
Then realized I'm due for my womanhood to arrive soon.  I can not speak for other ladies, but unless you're on the pill or count your cycle, a lot of women are not aware  pay attention to the things happening to their bodies for that 10 days prior to the "gift" arriving.  How many women have you heard say, "I was a raging lunatic, I think I'm going crazy."etc.  Only to realize that a few days later, their womanhood arrived.

We laugh it off shaking our heads at our own temporary insanity, while our male counterparts knew the whole time when it was arriving, but could never in a million years ask us, "are you getting your period?" Cos that just opens a world of fighting words. When it comes to certain topics, I think men nailed it, keeping their mouths shut early on and become smarter than us for a few days. Just a few days.  

I came to the conclusion yesterday that I'm due soon, and of course ran to my calendar and counted my cycle. I'm not on birth control, so either I count it or run risk of embarrassment asking the waitress at a bar/restaurant if they have any female necessities available or be out in public and not be able to find a public restroom.  For the most part I've always got a few supplies with me in a pretty little silk pencil case that holds the goods perfectly and takes up no room in my purse. Plus I can also just take this little Japanese silk pencil case aka tampon,wipes, pad holder to the bathroom with me rather than my whole purse, and not many would be any the wiser.

The point is, I'm aware of myself this month. My mood, lack of patience, increase craving for salt and protein, and more tired.  Now that I know, I can put the kibosh on any onset mood swings that are unnecessary.

What are some of the crazy things you've done or said a week before you're due?
And at the same time think you're completely sane....
