We move in less than a week. We move in less than a week?!
When that realization slaps you upside the head, it can cause you to go around all day with rumpled hair, an unwashed face and bugged out eyes. Just like that boy up there.
Just like this mama typing here.
Uh, and Mama? It can also push your personal "kindness only" mission to the limits (just ask your family).
And beyond (just ask your family).
Far, far beyond (just ask your family).
You'll feel like everyone in your family, including the dog (wait, we don't have a dog), is tromping on your very last nerve. Kindness is nowhere close to coming out of your mouth. In fact, you'll be so far beyond your personal "kindness only" standard, that you wouldn't even be able to recognize kindness if it slapped you upside the head. (Would kindness slap you upside the head?) Quite frankly, you'll find yourself acting more like an "itch" with a capital "B" than you care to admit. Good gracious.
Time to rescue everyone from you.
Time to get in the car and drive under the influence of turbulent emotions, however hazardous that may be, time to pull your squealing van into the farthest parking space in the health-food store parking lot (so you won't be embarrassed by your squealing van). (Oh, when will those mechanic guys get it right? Don't they realize that you're moving in less than a week?) Time to tromp your heavy feet, rumpled hair and bugged-out eyes down the vitamin aisle until you see a bottle with big, block letters that say it all: PMS.
Should you buy two bottles and take double the recommended dosage? It's a viable option at this point.
You finally settle on one bottle of vitamins and a box of tea that's supposed to help prevent water retention. You've never had water retention issues before, so it's a wonder as to why, exactly, you're buying the box of tea. I have no idea why. You don't either. Let's just keep in mind that you are operating under the influence of turbulent emotions and that the box of tea reads: PMS.
Now, Mama, Honey? After you've taken your vitamins and drunk your tea, go wash your face, and do something with that hair.
You won't be able to do much for the bugged-out eyes, though.
Because you're moving in less than a week.
