Yes ladies, you don’t have to tell me twice. PMS sucks. Our boobs get tender, we get bloated, and some of us cramp like we’re being hit with a mallet. Did I mention the back pain and nausea?
However, we are women. We do not wallow in self-pity, even when times get tough. We’re the ones who decided that when you pick up lemons by mistake, you can make lemonade. Well, at least I think we thought of that. If we didn’t, we’re smart enough to take credit for it anyway.
Again, we know that PMS is a raw deal for us, but do you know that you can use it for your advantage?
You most certainly can. Take that PMS and turn it into something good.
The Incredible Benefits of PMS
Sex Rain Check.
Just because hubby is always in the mood, that doesn’t mean that you are too. Mentioning cramps, gas, vomiting, bloating, and tampons in the same sentence cools my husband’s ardor faster than a Tom Cruise movie tanks at the box office these days.
Bitch Pass.
I must admit that I use this one even when I’m not experiencing PMS, but it works even better when you are, since you’re not lying. All the things you wanted to say all month long and kept a lid on, let them out – use the heck out of that bitch pass. Talk about his mother the way you’re sure she talks about you. Complain about his socks on the floor and his unkempt toenails. Get it out all. He’ll say it’s all hormonal, but that’s exactly what you want him to think.
Engagement/Chore Breaker.
You ever have an engagement you do not want to attend. Are you sick and tired of sitting at little Johnny’s soccer practice? Tell your husband that PMS has given you a migraine, and you just can’t do it. Not in the mood for another exciting, tuna casserole at your sister’s house? The PMS engagement breaker will work every time. Don’t feel like cooking dinner? Two words for you – PMS and vomiting. It’ll work… unless your family likes that chunky gravy on their meatloaf.
Who ever thought PMS could be a good thing? Now you know.
