Hey! Long time no chat, right?! Well...it's been a month! Literally AND figuratively. This one just about did me in, but spring break began not a moment too soon yesterday afternoon. After a great time last night with my friends working a concert (which I dearly LOVE to do!) and a restful morning, I'm feeling more like talking today.
I try not to whine about it, but I've shared before that Mother Nature is doing a number on me as I enter this perimenopausal season of life. For the past month, she's been on a vendetta, I believe. It feels like she's trying to take me down with every hormonal nightmare she has at her disposal. I had every hope that my own experience with this time would go quickly and easily as my mother's did, but genetics has betrayed me and it honestly feels like I walk through a very personal hell many days. Again, literally and figuratively! These hot flashes are nothing to play with, people! And the emotional mood swings could rival those of early adolescence any day. In fact, we just finished teaching the health unit on puberty at school this week, and I can assure you that my 5th graders have NOTHING on me! This is not for faint of heart!
