For some reason that title just cracked me up... and yes, it's highly inappropriate but... I don't care.
First of all, Jaci presented a theory yesterday that I had thought about too... you know how women who work or live together emit some hormone that makes them all get their period at the same time? She proposes that the same thing can happen in the cyber world, and I'm going to have to agree with her. It seems like all of us are hitting PMS at pretty much the same moment.
It's the sisterhood baby. The Sisterhood.
And speaking of it... Essie is about to join it I do believe. She's about as hormonal as can be right now and this morning when she was getting dressed (so glad she doesn't read this because she would beat me silly) I noticed... hair.... there.....
Um... how is this possible? She's my baby... she's just a little girl.... and now we're on the cusp of... not being a little girl anymore.
I gently said something this morning to her about thinking her period would come soon. That was met with tears and gnashing of teeth and wailing at the torture of being a girl and not wanting to BE one anymore.
So... as we enter this whole new world of emotions and zits and tampons, I would just like to take a moment to shout out a big DANG IT WOMAN WHAT WERE YOU THINKING to Eve... it's all her fault you know.

TOTALLY on board with you about it all...my oldest daughter and I have our monthly visit at the exact. same. time.
Wonderful.
Oh.My.Gosh yes. Last month, when I posted my period post, sooooo many girls were "suffering" as well!
Poor Essie. This is when being a girl sucks and too young to understand that one day it will pay off (since we get to have babes).
Thank goodness for Estrogen!!
Amen!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
- Jennifer
LOL! Yeah - I think the cycle sisterhood is a viable theory. I wonder if you lined up all of our posts - you could almost tell by the 'tone' in our postings. Interesing science experiment.
I can't believe ya'll are about to cross that GIRL threshold...OH MY GOSH!!
As for the title - you know I'm a whore ;P
Oh lordy, my almost-twelve-year-old has been PMS-ing for the last two years and nothing yet. I am afraid. Really afraid.
I really really wanted to have a little girl but NOW after reading what you wrote....I will get down on the floor and thank the powers that be for my Two little boys! I do not think I could DEAL with little girls after all! Yes good thing she does not read your blog! She would not be happy about this post!
OMG! I didn't think about that. I have a daugther and some day she will do this too. Thank you for making me want to crawl and my bed and hide. Thank goodnes, I have a few years but you know they do sneek up on you.
Lil is nearly there, too. I just hope she holds out 'til summertime. I already stocked her up with shavers and taught her how to shave under her arms. Crazy, isn't it? Weren't we just chatting about delivery dates, pregnancy issues and baby names? Oh, wait ... that was 10 years ago?!?!
Yeah, good times. Actually it was a lot less creepy for us here. Get this - my daughter is the one who had a talk with me, letting me know what would be happening to her. What?? Made it easy, gotta admit.
Katie is so hormonal. She had a nervous breakdown the other night. But...in our house we will be having a huge party when the period comes. Because then we will have an end date for that back brace. I am thinking that a back brace and a period will not be friends.
Amen sister!! Can someone please point me to a GYN who will actually rip out the plumbing I'm done using?!?!? This whole "elective" aspect of what I want is really not "elective" at all -- it is because I love my family so much that I can't stand the thought that I just might snap one of these months. It would totally be the "whore-moans" I'm sure but since I'm an American I'll probably end up blaming my GYN and then sue her for all she's worth! Ok...I'll go have some chocolate now and all will be fine with the world. ;-)
Amen. Except I am regulated by the miraculous little red pill, so I actually don't even hae to go there!
Sisters UNITE!
Oh this post cracked me up! I love the title! Good luck to you, I bet you can't wait until there are more whore-moans living in your house! Aaaaahhhh!
Luckily I only live with my husband plus our 4 animals are all males too. No girly problems there!
Too funny! I bloggged about my monthly dragon last week. Hope he didn't meander over to your side of town!
So glad I only have boys when I hear those stories. Although my couin has triplets and one other daughter and all 5 women (mom included) PMS'd at the same time. Poor Dad!
I have no idea what you are talking about. Huh? Wha??
How is my denial???
I can totally feel it's coming for my tween too.
Been there (3 times - 4 if you count myself) and yes we are all the same page. The 4 men in the house not to happy.
I'm right there with you girl, cranky as can be.
Dont' get me started on that whore Eve:-) I curse her every month. Hee, hee, hee.
Geeze....I'm "older", so I'm going through the danged "mental pause", and have been for about three years. No period for 6 months then almost bleed to death for a week. No period for a year (yay!) and then almost bleed to death for a week. Hot flashes, night sweats-I go to bed in jammies cause it's cold-strip totally naked in the middle of the night, turn on the fan and open the window. I wake up with the worst case of bed head due to sweating (looking like I did MORE than sleep) But it's almost OVER--it's got to be ALMOST OVER.
Phew, we women are tough cookies, I tell ya!
As far as Essie, doesn't the time go so, so fast? My baby will be 34 this Christmas-she has babies of her own...(the worst part is knowing how those babies got here.. :0 )
Man, I hated those early years of change. I would never want to relive that again.
just 'cuz the biotch wanted a bite of apple - truly tempted by the fruit of another.
Oh how fun for you to be in a house with raging hormones. Nothing better!
Oh I dread the whole puberty thing and starting periods. My oldest will be 10 in Jan. and I have noticed changes in her disposition. One minute she is funny and sweet and then she is shooting me looks that should cut me down!! I was 11 when I started so I'm not holding out for much hope that I'll get too much longer on my daughter.
A-MEN!!!
Keep Oreos and chocolate on hand so you all can celebrate ~ Lordy, we do seem to be kinda cyber-cycling, I'd noticed that in several biotchy/funny PMS posts last month...
I blame Eve for everything.
Oh my, at least you know what's going on. I didn't tell my mom I started my period for 3 months. I was soooo embarrassed. I hope my girls feel comfortable about telling me.
I so thought that when I read like the 3rd post about PMS yesterday!
Awww... sweet little Essie becoming a young lady!
I wish this was my only thought... but I have never been the type to welcome periods and zits and hormones as the onset of womanhood, and an occasion to celebrate.
Because honestly, THEY SUCK!
Hang in there Essie, and you too Lizzy... it's a *delightful* rollercoaster ride you're about to embark on :)
There was a time that Gina was not regulated by the little red pill. Neither were her four sisters or her mother. Oh how her father suffered.
Not me...I don't care what you say...it's all Adams fault!!!
I have such a story about hormones...I should blog about that!!
Any way...email me your address you won my pay-it-forward...you don't have to play but I do want to send you something!!! :)
I'm just finishing my cycle, and starting to feel slightly human again. Although I will say, with 2 kids under 4 and all of our issues, I still do a happy dance when it shows up. RELIEF!
I for one am definitely PMS-ing, so maybe you're right about the Sisterhood of the Internet. There is chocolate in my system as we speak, keeping me from biting everyone's head off.
I always blame Eve too.
Eve got quite the tongue lashing while I was in labor .. all for an apple. Newsflash: they cost less than a dollar at the grocery store, ma'am .. go buy one!
Your title made me laugh so hard. Because last night my husband decided we needed the ceiling fan on .. and it started squeeking away. And I was laying there thinking, "My ceiling fan should not sound like a whore's hotel bed." Thankfully he fixed it .. because I was gonna beat the chick silly after about five more minutes ;o)
Poor Essie! Poor you! On the days I'm really, really ready for these toddler days to be over, I think about what my pre-teen days were like .. and I kiss my babies a few extra times. Hang in there mama!!
Wow. I would die if my mother wrote that on a blog. I can't even begin to imagine my lil girl at that stage in life. She probably would cry, snash her teeth and wail at the woes of being female. Even still I like being a woman. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Keep up the faith. God is great and his blessings are endless. Fasting and praying to know the error of my ways, thanks for the idea. It's something I'll definatly be doing.
Okay .. so I was telling my hubs about this post .. and it wasn't until I told him the name of the post, that I actually made the connection:
Whore-Moans = Hormones
Your blog is constantly opening my eyes .. and my comments on your blog are consistently making it public how ditzy I really am.
I love the whore-moans ideas!! It is such a tough place for kids - they want to grow up (or think they already have) but are still just babies! Have a great weekend!
Oh poor Essie
can't we just stop the clock for a couple of years???
*sigh*
It's the blog sisterhood messing with our hormones! Either that, or there are only 4 weeks in the month and we have a 1 in 4 chance of riding the crimson wave at the same time. Odds....or powerful blog waves? :)
I am not looking forward to this, either. I've told Shane that either me and the girls will all be on the same cycle (and what a week that would be!!!)... OR we'll all three be on different weeks. So three weeks out of the month he will be in hormonal hell.
Poor bastard.
Yeah - I have 2 daughters and it is really great when all three are on the same schedule. WOW!! PMS Central.
Just discussed this at lunch after tennis the other day, with all of the girls! FUNNY!
To lighten up the period talk a bit, you could always do what my husband did with his oldest daughter (although I wanted to kick him)....his words were: DO NOT SWIM IN THE OCEAN WHILE ON YOUR PERIOD, SHARKS ARE ATTRACTED TO BLOOD!
Yup...I think he gets Father of the Year, right? NOT! LOL
Oh I feel for you, it sucks being in a family with three people on their periods at the same time!
I still remember Cheyenne the weeks before her first period. My husband was at wits end with her as was I. Then she got "IT" and we knew what the heck was up. She has horrible PMS. I would love to ship her off during those days.
LOL, You had me at the title Lizzy!!
As the Mom in an all-female household (except for Hubby, even the critters are Hers), I concur with the cycle theory. But I'm not so much feeling it in the Blogosphere. That's why I'm still hosting my Silly Sunday Sweepstakes. We've got another Sweet Snap for ya...and it's always fun to Share the Caption Love!
Your title cracks me up too! Reminds me of joke once told - Do you know the difference between a vitamin and hormone? You can hear the hormone (whore moan) . . . :)
I have a hormone joke, too.....do you know how to make a hormone? Hide her money.
haaaaaa haaaaaaa
Hormones are totally out of control around this place. My middle kid already started, a year ago actually, and OMG, the drama. I'm a raging bitch anyway, so it's GOOD TIMES around here.
No no no no...say it isn't so...Isn't she 9???? Oh my word, LRRH is 8...I am so not ready for that!
My 13 year old Chick JUST started, a month ago... we are expecting the next one to hit at anytime... Yeah, we are a happy family.... She has been shall we say "Developing" since she was 10. Don't panic yet, just keep in mind the pre-PMS stage can last a couple of years... It is just as bad. Okay, panic is good.
