Okay, real quick, the dreaded interview: I think it went well overall. I have been in a little bit of a funk and today was exceptionally bad so I really tried to clear my mind so that I would be "on" for interview time. I can't say that I nailed it but I think I have a decent shot. There is one credential that they are looking for that I don't currently have (and can't just get without additional coursework). That aspect could put another candidate ahead of me for sure...although there may be MANY things that make someone else a better fit for the job but without knowing the competition, it's hard to guess. Interviews will be ongoing so I won't know anything for at least a week.
That was supposed to be brief?...oh well!
My REAL issue today- per the title of this post- is indeed PMS. It is so, so bad for me lately. Just ask my husband or my mom- the ones who are blessed to get the brunt of my bad mood, especially Mike. I don't even think I can adequately describe to you exactly HOW unreasonable I am when this mood sets in.
I know that I am driving Mike crazy--and thanks to my mood, he is driving me crazy. Every little thing annoys the crap out of me. Oddly, the kids aren't really getting to me and Michael was the very definition of defiance today- but for some reason, his antics didn't send me over the edge- thankfully.
I am actually driving myself crazy because part of me can just see how ridiculous I am but I can't step out of it far enough to change it. Does that make ANY sense?
I am not ready to consider medical intervention- like an anti-depressant- I'm just not there. But I can see the need to consider that possibility if I can't get a handle on this. It's not just a couple of days, it's become a good 1.5-2 weeks. So almost half the month- not not not good for anyone.
I know that one BIG help would be to get more sleep (yeah I know it's midnight my time) so obviously I need to make some changes there. I also see some depression and anxiety stuff going on for me- hope this isn't TMI- I have experienced that in the past and went to counseling for a while which was REALLY helpful and probably one of the best decisions of my life. That's something I could look into as well.
Anyone have success with more natural-type remedies? Yoga, vitamins, meditation? I don't know, I need something practical and something that I will actually DO and not just think about doing.

Wow, a week and a half?!? You definitely need to do something to help yourself out - that sounds awful! Have you ever been on the pill to know if that helps with the hormones? I have no idea, but I've had friends who have had similar issues and that has helped. But obviously, there's a lot of OTHER stuff that goes along with being on the pill, so I'm certianly not saying that you SHOULD. :)
With your background, you indicated that you know alot about childhood anxiety. Do you know if extreme toddler stranger anxiety ever becomes something I should be concerned about? If you want to email me, it's em630ruth at aol.com
ooooh. yikes. wow. Guess there IS an advantage to not living closer??? Just kidding. I have NO idea about the natural stuff, but I think there's a book on that kind of thing at the birthcenter- I'll try to swing by and pick it up tomorrow :)
