How can you tell? I feel like Jeff Foxworthy...you know you are a redneck when!
You know that you are PMSing when you can recognize ANY of the following 13 tell-tale signs:
1. Immediately after you take a shower you proceed to clean the tub, the sink and the toilet...before you even finish getting dressed.
2. You cut out all newest coupons and immediately sort them and purge the expired ones.
3. You prepare a hearty lunch and serve it to your DH.
4. After lunch you immediately clean up the entire kitchen...you put all the food away, hand wash the pots and pans, wipe down the stove and counters, and finally, you load the dishwasher and turn it on.
5. You head out to the grocery store just to pick up a few things.
6. You run up and down every isle in the grocery store, checking for sales and using all your soon-to-expire coupons ;)
7. You arrive home (hours later) with several bags of groceries and you throw the receipt at DH when he asks you how much you've spent.
8. You put all the groceries away AND empty the now clean dishes out of the dishwasher.
9. You attempt to write a blog post but find yourself distracted by your nail polish...cause it's chipping...and soon find yourself knawing it off.
10. You find yourself putting together your new piece of exercise equipment AND watching the entire instructional DVD while you wait for DH to fix your internet connection...so that you can get back to writing your blog post.
11. DH decides to fix himself a snack for dinner since it took so long to fix the internet connection and he knows better than to ask "whats for dinner?"
12. DH reads all the SIGNS and stays in his corner of the Love Shack for most of the evening.
13. DH brings you a glass of wine without you having to ask.
Even though he knows that you are on a diet and that he runs the risk of getting his head bitten off...DH figures that it is worth the risk...cause he'd like to get to bed sometime tonight ;)
So...now I feel like Bill Engvall asking...what are your signs?
Yes, I wish I were that productive when I had PMS...I eat, sleep, and bitch with occasional tears instead.

Your signs are much different than mine... you seem to 'nest' for many of your signs! Mine are pretty much the usual - IRRITABLE (Hubby doesn't need to ask - he knows! LOL), DEPRESSED because I'm so BLOATED, CRAVINGS of sweet and salty treats and LOOK OUT don't get in my way! MOOOOOOODY - hubbub usually gets whiplash trying to keep up! Oh our poor hubbubs!

Roberta you crack me up!!!!!!!!!!! But really, in all its humour it's so sad because...that's me! My new saying: Picture a day when you are snarling, fuming, nails out and ready to strangle DH and ..and then say: That's right I'm pms'ing and I have only 1 good day a month...so don't wreck it because THIS IS IT!!!
Oh dear...I need a tranquilizer...LOL!! (or cry..)
Hugs,
Lucy

That was so funny but I guess not for you and hubby. I am a silence person when I'm upset/blue whatever...lol....Don is a "whatever" person and when he uses that word I go silent. Actually I think he likes it.....????.....

You crack me up :) I doubt I am as productive as you when PMSing, but I want to eat, eat, eat. Then I may get caught in the vicious sweet-salty-sweet-salty see-saw snack binge. I also find it hard to bite my tongue when I hit the why-are-people-so-stupid stage. Yeah, I get mean when PMSing! *SIGH*

hee hee.....this is so funny and so typical!!!!
Oh boy, I can relate to the one about DH not daring to ask whats for dinner! He knows it is the worst sentence in my books! ha ha!! The signs for me are...lot's of sighing and moaning that my back is sore(before I cook) which actually is REAL as I do suffer from back issues...good post, enjoyed it!
