Ok, ladies – here’s the deal: Since I had a hysterectomy a few years back [let us pause for a moment of silent hallelujah], I don’t know what my hormonal cycle is up to. When I’m having a rough day (or days on end, as the case may be), sometimes I wonder if it’s just work/the kids/school/grief/whatever or if it’s PMS, and I just don’t know it. I can’t point to the calendar and have an obvious answer for why I’m feeling bummed.

Over-sharing? Perhaps. I’m still thankful that I don’t have to explain feminine hygiene products to the boys when they go rummaging through my bathroom cabinet looking for a Band-aid. 😉
