PMS with no period?!?!

I apologize in advance to any men that may have happened upon my blog. I recommend you stop reading this particular entry....NOW. (Haha)

Anyway...tonight I feel like I usually do right before I start my period. You ladies know... emotional, pissy, and even dare I say it? A little bitchy. But the strange thing is that I am not getting my period anytime soon! So I guess I just have a bad case of the Mondays...I mean...Thursdays...

It started when I got my hair cut. It is so short! Much shorter than I think I had requested. It will grow, as it always does. But that did not put me in a very good mood. After the haircut fiasco...

My guy and I had our first official "discussion" of our relationship tonight. I won't call it a fight, because that's not what it was. But we were both tired and cranky, and for some reason I fixated on not getting to see him tonight and it all just spiraled down from there. Side note - do you ever just feel the need for a hug? Or to be cuddled? I don't know why, but I was sooooo craving that tonight. Hence why I was probably upset when I found out I wasn't going to see him as I had hoped. I suppose Sadie will have to do for now...

I am happy to report that all is well in the relationship department. I get to plan a date for us to do tomorrow night, and he has promised that we will not end up at a bar at any point in the night. I am so excited! I have a couple ideas about what we might do...all are interactive and all help to create QUALITY time together! I've really needed that. I don't know why, but hanging out in a group at bars just doesn't qualify as quality time in my book anymore. But maybe that's just the 40-year-old lady that lives in my 25-year-old body talking! ;)

The funniest part of the night was after I got off the phone with him. Feeling like I was PMSing (when seriously...I'm NOT!), I decided that Skyline chili dip sounded like the best option for dinner. I filled the bottom of the glass bake ware with cream cheese (fat free! I promise!), and went to dump in the can of chili. Well what do you know? It was a can for a 3-way...noodles in the chili and all! Ewwww. Now I was faced with a dilemma - what to do next? Throw away the cream cheese and noodles/chili? Make it anyway and eat the dip with noodles? Well, I made it...noodles and all. I must say that it wasn't very good. But I was pissy and in need of a fattening meal, gosh darn it! So word to the wise...double check the cans of Skyline before buying!

On a happier note, there were some positives to my day (as there always are). My kids made me "notes," as has become the trend within the past two weeks for some reason. My favorite today was written by a little girl, and all it said was, "We are koalas. We never give up." (My class mascot is a koala, by the way...) My second favorite said, "You are the best teacher in the whole wide world." Now those can only bring a smile to my day! :)

Also, I realize I have the best girlfriends anyone could ever ask for. I am even lucky enough to work with two of them. It has occurred to me recently just how much I need "girl's nights" in my life. I am working on planning at least one a month. Let me know if you're in! Us girls gotta stick together, right?!?!

Sorry if this entry was kind of a downer. I always try so hard to be upbeat and positive! But it's not realistic to think life is always going to be like that. Sometimes you're in a bad mood, and sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to. And sometimes you're too tried to think of creative things to say and just have to talk about the "everyday happenings!" So thanks for bearing with me! ;)

I am grateful for...
1.) Being honest, even if it might ripple the waters.
2.) Skyline chili dip WITHOUT noodles in it! Who would've thought!!!
3.) FRIDAY!!!
