HORMONES


Pregnancy can certainly be one big roller coaster ride! From amazing highs where I am overwhelmed with happiness to sudden and unexplained floods of tears, not to mention the extreme shits at nothing in particular.

Last week was Halloween and the goths were out in force, celebrating and getting into the spirit of things! Driving down Enmore Road I spotted 2 beautiful horses and a medieval carriage. I squealed with excitement to Brett, "OMG look at those stunning horses, hunny I wish I had a horse". I just love horses, they are so majestic and they remind me of being a carefree teenager. Seeing them amongst the craziness of Newtown on a Saturday afternoon really made my day.

Then suddenly I burst into uncontrollable tears. I blubbered for a minute while my clueless husband tried to ascertain what the hell was wrong with me. A moment after seeing the horses I realised the cart was carrying a coffin. "OMG someone died" I wailed. Then, "and I have hormones I can't control". I think at that point Brett was ready to drive the car onto the railway line or get in the coffin himself...

Brett tried to explain it was Halloween and that it was all part of the festival but the hormones had taken hold. And the worst thing was I could see how irrational these emotions were, but I was powerless to control it. Seriously, there is nothing worse than crying uncontrollably and laughing at your idiocy at exactly the same time. It just results in hiccups and almost weeing your pants.

Today has been totally different again, I have had the shits at everyone and everything all day. I snapped at my staff, a colleague, an account manager, the IT dude, my boss, my dog and finished off my day by snapping my husband. I also left a very curt note on the windscreen of a car that blocked our driveway. I have no reason to be angry, because I have everything I ever wanted and more! Fortunately the anger is rare, if only the tears were as rare.

Time for a relaxing hot shower and a cup of chamomile tea. But not before I have another rant and leave an additional note for the idiot who is still blocking our driveway!!! Grrrrr!
