Birthday Blues

Ok, so after being a real grump alllll day yesterday (sorry to my kids who were in the way of my grumpiness) and not being able to figure out why, I figured it out. Nope, it's not necessarily that my new meds (anti-depressants) are not working. Nope, it's not because I have awful children (they're good kids-even though they sometimes don't know what day it is). It's not because I perpetually fail at my diet... None of the other reasons I could come up with made sense either. But boy was I cranky!

That was me all day! Well, at the end of the day I finally figured it out! (As I was ranting around mad at everyone) It's because yesterday was the day before today-my birthday! For whatever reason, ever since my 18th birthday I get very moody leading up to it. It's not because I'm getting "older", I really don't care about that-at least not at this point. But every year I just feel so moody about the whole thing. So, hopefully today it's over...since it's the day, the lead-up is done.
