Emotions and Junk

So yesterday was kind of an -I feel like crying- day. Probably no other woman ever has those days but ENB. But hey, I have them. Yesterday I was just sad. I felt like crying all day. Maybe part of it was that I knew school was starting today. I was afraid that this year would be as hard for me as last year has been. When I look back at our experiences, I realize it's been a great year! We've done so much, grown so much, seen so much. What a great year. I just never got over the feeling of being a visitor here and I thought I would feel like this was my home a lot sooner. That was a little tough. Then it was summer and problem solved for 3 months. Girls home, noise, food, travel. All good.

Another part of it was me being tired. Just tired. Brett had been gone for a few days and lots to do with school starting and I played a gig this weekend which was hard to do without my super great dad babysitter. ha AND someone was mean to me at church. Like mean, which seriously KILLS me when I think someone has a problem with me.

So I came home from church and just got on my bed flopped on my stomach with my head buried in my pillow. Brett came in and sat down ready to listen to me vent about ?? I  said to him, "I'm sorry, I'm just sad. I can't really explain why to you, so you don't have to feel like I need to talk something out." Then I said finally, "I don't know, maybe I'm going to start my period."

PAUSE

I'm sorry to include that piece of information, but I'm pretty sure it's needed for my story.

BACK TO STORY

Then Brett said, "Oh you're not going to." I said, "How do you know?" He said, "Because it warns me on my iphone when you're going to start."

PAUSE

Now first of all, anyone who knows me knows that I believe everything people tell me. Also, anyone who knows Brett knows that he is in LOVE with his iphone. He is in love with PROGRAMMING stuff, especially on his iphone. So it could be totally possible. But I was still skeptical. Heck, it's my body and I have no CLUE when I'm going to start, so how would he?

BACK TO STORY

So I said, "You do not!" He said, "Yes I do. It's called iperiod and it's for men." Then I just started laughing so hard. Only then did I know he was lying. We laughed about how needed that really is. If every guy had an iperiod app that had an alarm to warn them, they could avoid or at least understand all of the monthly misdirected anger and in my case, gear up for a weepy wife for a day. Anyway, he decided he was going to do that and it will be big (because everything with Brett ends up with him starting a company that will do it..).

CONCLUSION

I may or may not have cried. And today I started my period. And this morning when I pushed that little round button on the bottom of my iphone, up popped a screen that said, "Are you sad? Depressed? Angry?" and I was supposed to touch which emotion I felt. After I did, I learned that I was on Period Tracker! Yeah! Brett found it and left it there for me to find. ha ha Only it's for women, so it's not even funny. What's funny about tracking your period if you're a woman? Plus, if I actually tracked my period, I would be like other normal women who keep track of details like that about their health. I'm much more spontaneous and um above such trivial details. I, instead, like to feel completely messed up for a day and wonder what the heck is wrong with me or think of all of the things that are wrong with my husband which usually don't bother me so much and then realize the next day WHY. Then I like to profusely apologize.
