Warning: Hormones Are Everywhere

Whether I like it or not.

Ever since I was a little girl, if I started "acting up", my Grandfather would say that I was just learning how to be a woman. It was another one of his famous anecdotes.

I like to think that I'm very normal (I'm sure most women do), and I maintain a very laid-back attitude. Tim would chime in at this point and disagree just to make me argue with him, but really I'm not even close to high-maintenance. We wouldn't be together if I was because Tim wouldn't have the patience for all that.

I've maintained my go-with-the-flow extremely well since getting pregnant. I've heard the scary stories about hormones and I refuse to let them take over my brain. Up until now Tim would try to tease me with them and I would say, "we don't talk about hormones in this house". He thought it was hysterical and became an ongoing joke; hormones had become the word that we weren't allowed to say and when one of us said it, we both froze.

Well Saturday night when we decided that we were going to go out to dinner the evil hormones we don't talk about fell into my lap and would. not. leave.
I hate them. They are the devil.

I had told Tim to decide where he wanted to go to dinner because he had let me pick what we did earlier in the weekend. Plus, since I can't drink and he can, he should definitely get to pick where he wants to get a drink.  Well Tim was trying to be sweet and let his pregnant wife decide. We must have gone back and forth with suggestions 100 times, but neither of us would make a decision. All this indecisiveness I can handle...the tears that came because of it, I can't. What the heck is wrong with me? I will not get crazy. I will not get crazy. I will not get crazy.
(We ended up at Chilli's of all places, after driving around for probably 25 minutes. We even had to stop along our trek for a bathroom break. It was that bad people.)

These terrible hormones make you over-think & over-emotionalize E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!  I will continue to try and fight them out of my life because I seriously can't handle them, but should you catch me starting to lose it, just know that I am ninja-fighting them within like you have no idea!
