I feel like this week has dragged on and on. With it has been this overriding feeling of grumpiness. As I explained to Twiggy the other day: "I just feel like stabbing someone in the eyeball". His reply: "That's nice dear". I am even shitty at being shitty as there is no clear reason for any of it. Things are ticking along nicely, kids are happy, work is going well, even our subdivision plans, that have been sucked into the vortex of bureaucracy for the past four years, look like finally being approved. I've started pilates, gone shopping, had some much needed time out, yet still I feel like ripping someone's arms out of their sockets. Sounds harsh? I suppose a little, but I'm grateful it's only an urge, not something I'd actually follow through with! I think the angry vibe is a result of having just finished breastfeeding, waiting for the curse to rear it's ugly head and post-pregnancy hormones possessing my body. Hopefully I return to my normal sarcastic, only slightly grumpy, self soon.
This is part of the lovely Maxabella Loves blog hop.
ooooo yup, sounds like hormones - have you tried screaming expletives and throwing shoes? Always works for me :-)
ReplyDeletehave a super perky weekend filled with rainbows and dancing unicorns (where's that damn sarcasm font when you need it??)

I always thinks a little bit of spleen and invective is healthy. Just choose a worthy target and let rip!
ReplyDeleteI've been a bit stabby lately too :$
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love hormones? My remedy is a good movie that will make me cry and chocolate. Hope you are feeling morel like yourself soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteWell, you may be developing psychopathic tendencies and are preparing to wipe out a town(then Mr 'that's nice dear' will feel a bit foolish!). But I pick hormones. Hope you feel better soon and don't underestimate the power of a good boxing session!! x
ReplyDeleteJust like children are always growing & changing, we are too (we just don't get taller or go up a grade to prove it). I fed my babies to 18-24 months so it was a huge part of my life but at the same time, such an easy part i didn't think about much at the time, i can't remember weaning effecting me?? Pilates fixes everything, don't you know?? I have 4 children who are taken up by school hours 30-33 hours a week & still feel like when i'm at the gym i'm untouchable & clear headed, no phone calls, no cleaning, just me. Off to Body Balance - want me to shed some fork-into-eyeball tension for you. I do wonder if i'm ever like this, only i spend so much time alone, no one is there to remark of point out that i'm a little off centre/ psychotic. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteHope next week is lovelier than ever.
ReplyDeleteahhh hormones!!!
Hope you have a better time of it next week! I've just been absolutely exhausted all week and then at night insomnia.
ReplyDeleteI'm chalking it up to the shitty weather for myself. I'm over the cold and some days I either want to curl up into a ball and stay in bed all day (which could never happen) or punch someone in the throat (which could probably not happen, but ya never know). :)
ReplyDelete*straps on armour* totally understand your feelings, hoping they pass for you very quickly and that you are ok soon. Hug?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's something in the air. I can't blame post breastfeeding hormones unfortunately so perhaps that means I am just a cranky old cow. I did however get some herbs from my naturopath last week and I gotta say a shift is happening.
ReplyDeleteif you did stab someone it would have made GREAT blogging fodder!
ReplyDeleteah I know the feeling.... I've not even weaned but I am pretty sure the attack of the crankys is due to my cycle returning.... the thought of which is making me even more cranky.... Hope it passes for us both!
ReplyDeleteI totally empathise. Being shitty about being shitty is the worst!!
ReplyDeleteHa. Handy. Love it and we all go through periods of time where we could pin someone down and typewriter them to death if given the chance. I'm grateful for beer this week. xxx Hope next week is better lovely x
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and your compliments on it's name, it's named after my grandmothers!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling happier today, I've had a weekend of feeling very grumpy myself!

Love your blog too!!! Will have a good read later, trying to make roman blinds for the bathroom at the moment and having a good swear tehe!! You take care and again thanks for popping by.!xx
ReplyDeleteYou weren't living parallel life perchance and being one of the petulant children I have had to deal with at work this week?
ReplyDeleteNo?
Just wondering...

I know the feeling and it ain't pretty. Let it out (without killing someone). It will do you good.
