Perimenopause. There. I said it.

[Betty]

You were warned by the title. That's all I'm sayin'.

So here I am, 41. I am 41 right? (see I had to actually check because I sometimes lose my mind... a little.) Anyway, my periods are regular then irregular and right now, I'm on the late and irregular side. And so emotional. How many times have I cried today? 6? 7? and why? Let's see... just a few minutes ago it was because I'm watching "Say Yes to the Dress" and crying over the Mom talking about her daughter getting married. My daughter is a senior in high school and not getting married but now seemed like a good time to cry about it.

Seriously. It's been like that all damn day. Can we stop please? I feel like it's neverending intermittent PMS until I actually start.

And I was too hot at night and couldn't sleep so I moved the bedroom around and put the bed under the window. That was too cold thought because of a draft going right under the covers. I eventually gave up and moved it around again. And now I'm back to being too hot.

Throw in bouts of insomnia from time to time.

I can deal with it all, I know. But I'm really growing tired of crying over random, stupid stuff.

I can't be the only one. What are your experiences with this?
