NO! it's not my time of the month, thank you!

Why is it that men are allowed to have bad days and we have PMS? For men it's always the excuse that they had a bad day at work, are stressed, so and so pissed them off, etc, etc... Why can't it just be that they are being an a-hole today? It's obvious they are. We all know they are! Yet it's just accepted that Mr. pissypants was set off by something or someone. It's never a mans fault that they're a cyclone of obscenities and attitude. It's societies/ forces that be that provokes the usual calm gentle creature into these outbursts! Well woman on the other hand can have the same moments of, well call it, discontent and we're labeled as having PMS. Certainly if it isn't our time of the month it will be soon! It couldn't be insane children running a muck, terrible traffic, mean bosses, or just the plain fact that we want to make our husbands miserable for a day because they insist we have hormone issues! I'll show you PMS buddy!
Case in point, I don't even have a damn uterus! Not a single ovary in my body, but my grumpy day has to involve my patch. You know the hormone patch that lovingly distributes a continuous even stream of beard prevent estrogen into my system. Ok, a moment of silence for this amazing feat in engineering........... So where was I? That's right! My fabulous ball of man meat, this understanding amazing man I married still pulls the freaking hormone card on me! Insert me stressed out, tired, making dinner while the kids are fighting over oxygen. Here comes the love of my life to affectionately grope me while, we'll say getting something hot as Hades out of the oven. I push said love of my life away and receive scowl of death followed by retort of, " Ohhh, someone needs to change there patch soon!" Really!!!!! Are you serious???? You people heard the part about the even dose of hormone as so on?!?!
So I have noticed that not only do we allow men to push us into this lame ass excuse for having, what are they called, oh emotions, we use it our selves. How many times have you cried over a friend/family member and said " I must be getting ready to get my period" ? Perhaps we need to just face the reality that it isn't your girl bits, it's your brain telling you that they are a crappy friend/relative and you need to stand up for yourself instead of crying on the couch watching Oprah! Just because we have boobs doesn't make us any less entitled to have a bad day just for the sake of having a bad day! So come on ladies, throw out the PMS excuse and embrace the fact that we have every right to feel! And I mean feel whatever you want good, bad and pornographic!( Just know that last word is the only one men will remember from this whole blog)
