And the light goes on!

I just figured out what my problem has been?

Duh! I'm pregnant.
The last few days have been emotionally draining and now I remember why: I'm pregnant. Meaning: massive amounts of hormones in my body affecting my brain.
Here's how I figured it out.

I went to our local Home and Garden Show. I never bring cash with me to these events because I just go to look and not to buy.
Anyway, I brought the $5.00 cash to get in and when I pulled up, there was an additional fee of $2.00 for parking. A lousy twoonie that I did not have on me. When I tried to pay with debit I was told in a matter-of-fact way, "Oh, we don't have debit."

And then something snapped.
I looked at this woman in her fifties and I nearly swore at her.
For no real reason.
I just nearly spoke some four lettered blue language to her.
That has never happened before.
I could never understand why people can swear at someone and then move on like nothing horrible has been said, but... I almost did it.
Then when she told me I could drive to the restaurant across the road and use their cash machine, my eyes filled up with tears and I nearly burst out crying.
A few minutes later, I did.

After I got my money, I was raging mad and raced a vehicle through the parking lot to get a spot back in line in front of them. Then nearly drove away without my $13.00 change. I parked the van and burst into tears.
SuperGirl looked at me,"Mom, why are you crying?"
"I don't know!!!!!"
Wahhhhhh!
And then suddenly, I did know.
The light went on. The moment of epiphany happened.
I remembered that I am pregnant and have way more hormones than normal.
The realization was enough to make me swear.

But I didn't.

Oh how I relate to you! I talked to a girlfriend in January about my moodiness...my frustration with EVERYTHING...my complete lack of patience with my kids, etc.

I just COULD NOT figure out what my problem was. Until I took that little test. Suddenly, everything became so much more clear. Aha! It's not that I'm a mean person! I'm just a pregnant person! :)

Here's to a hormone filled journey.
