Something Wicked This Way Comes

I am so ready for school to be out. Kindergarten is cramping my style. It's putting a serious dent in my social life. The weather is gorgeous, and despite my being completely mental, my friends keep calling and inviting me to join them in fun family outings. "Hmm," I say, "what time are you doing this fun family outing?" I already know that school will interfere. It always does. "Oh, sorry," I tell them, "N has school in the afternoon--we'd better not miss that." And the kids and I all serve our time while our friends, footloose and fancy-free, enjoy their fun family outing. Three more weeks, and then we kick kindergarten to the curb. Until fall, when we do it all over again, and try to add a 3-year-old preschool program to the mix. Can't hardly wait. I'm not sure if I'll feel unfettered, having just one kid to deal with for a while, or if I'll be so busy chauffering the big guys that I have no time for anything else.

I was starting to wonder why the heck I was breaking out, flipping out, and pigging out. Just now I felt a weird sensation, much like a menstrual cramp. Oh...right. My uterus is trying to fire itself up again. Lucky me. Even luckier are the people who have to live with me while I am completely mental. They've been getting complacent since I've only been half-assed mental lately...the return to completely mental can't be enjoyable for any of them.

Having suddenly realized why I've been such a shrew this week (fucking uterus), I have no qualms about feeding my salt and sugar cravings now. I just ate some leftover popcorn, and now I need to move on to ice cream. Music may soothe the savage beast, but the savage bitch needs some junk food. I may drink caramel sauce right out of the bottle. Hormones = Free Pass. Ho yeah, pass the spoon!
