KG's Hideaway

I swear to GOD...

I'm going to put my daughter into pharmaceutical induced early menopause. I swear, there can NOT be a more infuriating person on the planet when she's like this. Then, to make matters monumentally worse, she piles it on by filling those massive big blue eyes up with tears. It might not be SO hard to take if she'd just let the tears go, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... she just lets them pool up and and just sit there so that you're forced to look at her eyes and nowhere else. If you didn't feel so shitty for getting mad, you'd get mad at her just for that. (Yes, I know... it's a vicious cycle. Imagine LIVING WITH IT!!!!!)

I'm sure the issue with her grade a couple of weeks ago causing her ineligibility for the last two weeks in basketball (ending a week from tonight, thank GOD!) has only amplified the normal PMS but I think she's got some industrial strength PMS. There are like, I don't know... 4 or 5 days around this time every month (NOTE TO SELF: SET REMINDERS IN OUTLOOK!!!!) when she gets like this and it catches me off guard every single time. It's not until after I react in my usual not-sp-gracious way (I know that's surprising) that Craig chuckles and asks me why it surprises me. Well, I honestly don't know why it surprises me except that she's just normally such a sweet girl that no matter what the reason is, it will always surprise me.

So when I write this again next month, don't be surprised. Of course, I will be.
