Growing up, my father used to say that PMS was something that women “made up” or that it was all in our minds.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

PMS makes us behave in very strange ways. The moody roller coaster from Hades. The bizarre cravings. Crying every time a certain commercial comes on the TV. God help me, I can recall from memory several really bad experiences I’ve had thanks to PMS.

It makes us do really stupid things …

… like me waking my husband up at 3:30 in the morning so I can let him know that I’m still mad at him.

Ummm, yeah. Sorry ’bout that, Jim.
