So. It's THAT time of the month. I should have known it was coming. Not only was I a total beeyotch three days ago, two days ago, then again yesterday- but I'd also been craving (and fulfilling these cravings with) huge amounts of crap while at the same time my lower abdomen continued to bloat. My pants were tight. My upper half was sore. And just about when I started to wonder- "why am I so up and down right now?", the cramps started. Oh right. Aunt Flo. Dot. Period. Whatever. It was here. And this time, instead of being heartbroken, I was ticked off.
I think this was truly the first time in what seems like hundreds of months that the beginning of my period didn't throw me in some sort of downward spiral (at the same time, I should say that this spiral has progressively become much less intense the past couple of months). To realize that was awesome. Must mean I'm making gains, yes? But what do you think this means- now instead of feeling sad, I want to do something. I would like to write a petition to The Big Guy. The one who made you and I. Although this is a rough draft, I'm sure you'll get the idea:
This is me, Courtney. One of the gals down here who is trying her best to make the right choices. To remember forgiveness. To be compassionate. To be loving. To bring attention to You. I really am trying my best. I could do better, but I hope to make gains every day.
Quick question... I know I have no idea how humans were formed- how You came up with this lovely map of veins, organs, tissue, skin. It boggles my mind. Know that I am constantly humbled. That being said (and my being human), I would like to throw an idea at You. Is it possible that, since I probably won't ever actually carry and grow a child within me, this whole period thing could be a lot less physically painful? And less outwardly hormonal? I'm not asking for it to all just disappear- I just don't know why it still has to be so obvious to me. I mean, come on... cramps? Bloating? Mood swings?
If I can get 50 signatures, would you agree to this? I would much appreciate it.
Your loving daughter,
Courtney

Love it. I'll sign.
BTW, Love your blog background. Very cool...I know it's been like this for awhile, but I don't know that I've told you that yet. :)
Sign me up!!! You really hit a nerve with me, I had a very similar situation last week, it wasn't obvious to me or my husband why I had all of a sudden become a horrible person and then two days later... aha!
Courtney,
HOW FUNNYYY!!!

Numero 8 here. I'm with you - had the cramps start this morning... ugh. I guess that explains why I've gone through a box of chocolate covered strawberries, a box of chocolate turtles, a mini chocolate cake and a chocolate reese's heart in the past week. Oh - and french fries at the fish fry on Friday. (Oh my... did I really need to tell everyone all of that. It sounds so gross when it's all listed out like that.) ANYWAY - my point is that I am signing! ;)
