Ok ladies, (I know there are no men reading blogs, and if they do, they won't admit it!) here is my "Oprah" moment, were I get a little revealing, something I had decided I wouldn't do on my blog, but who cares?!?!
So I have decided that I have split personalities, (no, not like that chick from that movie a long time ago that I forgot her name!) but truely different sides of me that come out...and I am talking about this hoping that someone will relate! (If not then I will know to go ahead and make my appointment for the psychiatrist, crazy does run in my family you know, (Hi MOM!)(she doesn't read this for those of you who think that was mean!)) So sometimes I feel like I am on clould nine, so in love with my wonderful, can't do anything wrong husband, so happy with all my decisions in life, so excited to get my house spotless, so ready to be a great friend to those in need, the perfect fun mom, everything so perfect, (yes, songs even running through my head and even skipping and bouncing around!)....then, all of a sudden, I lose it all!(you can tell by my last post that I had a great weekend!)but when I feel this way, I could care less if my house is clean, I could care less if I shower or shave , I have no appetite, and even tend to lose weight a bit, ( no worries because I put it back on when I feel good) I could care less about myself or anyone else in the world for that matter., I am depressed, for who knows why ..I am in that mood right now as I write this..completely narcissitic, and unproductive,..I was so tired yesterday,I drank two diet cokes in the afternoon to stay awake then came home and I slept from 3-8 and then woke up for a few hours and then went back to bed! (I made fun of Karen for doing that in college, big apology to Karen, I do it once a month, minus the snoring, I still get to make fun of Karen for the snoring!that was snoring of historic proportions!)
I know that we are supposed to get PMS or whatever, but I never seem to have a cycle that comes with this, it always comes a week or two later, but it does seem to happen in a pattern, any thoughts..?? (all thoughts are welcome, except "you are crazy!" or "you are turning into your mother!") I am actually laughing about this, so maybe just blogging about it does help!!

I think that we all have moments where we don't want to do anything and feel exactly the way you said. From reading other posts from your blog, you seem to be really busy with your family and seems to me that when you're on the move, you eventually need time to crash and to do nothing. It's great to be positive and have a good outlook on the world, but I know I can't be that way all the time, can anyone? I'm no authority on this...just my opinion!
You are SO NOT turning into you mother. And, if it is happening in a pattern we all know that it is probably hormones!! However, I think that you are entitled to your down times even if they are not hormonal, because you seem to be up and running all of the time. Maybe a little Tammy time on a consistent basis would help. Oh, hey, you are going to start getting that. And, maybe it is because you are going through a pretty big transition having all of your kids in school. I'll bet it feels like you are losing something... but it won't last long. (I'm still envious, though.) Call me if you want to talk...
Yes, I have those times too. I think it is like Michelle & Denise said, we get so busy as moms and wifes that we go, go, go and wear ourselves out and then we are emotionally and physically drained. That's what it is with me. I can always tell it's coming on and I make sure my Dr. Pepper supply is good.;)
you guys are awesome, and I definately feel better already...I showered (no shaving yet!!) and I was already up and running again today!! Believe it or not, even with my kids gone this week has been so crazy ! but I am feeling re energized already!
I am way late commenting on this... and if you are like me, your mood has probably already changed several times since you wrote this... but I still had to say,(for the next time it happens), that anyone who says they don't have days like this are either lying to us, or lying to themselves. Life is not always perfect, and neither do we have to be, thank heavens!!!! :)
And whatever you need to bust you out of it, whether it be a nap, a shop, a bowl of ice-cream, or a good cry watching a chic flick... just do it! It DOES make you feel better :)
I was going to write "You're just crazy Tammy", but I figure after all of the empathy that would go over like a lead balloon...(I'm just trying to get her back for the snoring comment)Seriously, I turn into a downright lunatic sometimes and other times feel like I can take on the whole world, so I totally get it. For me exercise and/or caffeine usually help a lot. Whenever I am exercising on a regular basis I don't seem to feel as stressed. Coffee helps too...
Tamp, you are Crazy! But we all are, so actually, you are perfectly normal! I used to think that I was the only one, but it seems now like everyone I know has the same struggles. I think it is worse if you have kids, but I think it is part of being female. And is it just me, or do a lot of men have PMS worse than we do? I agree with Petra (hi Petra! ;) about those who are lying.
And I miss Karen's snoring, Good times!
Love, Christena
