Hi Michele,
I am enjoying myself enormously going back through your posts...How have I not known about you before?!
This one struck a particular chord with me...I do things like that all the time and I am (hopefully!) a few years away from the dreaded 'M' word. So I don't know whats worse...blaming it on the menopause or like me, coming to terms wih the thought that you're a bit well...dippy! Not much of a choice is it! I guess if it is the former, at least it's a temporary episode and will pass, whereas I'm stuck with it!
Your post about renovating your home (lovely btw) resonated strongly with me too...been there, done that, wouldn't want to again. You're so right about blogging making you aware of other peoples way of doing things...I'm always looking at those cool, white interiors and thinking should I? But I like what I like. At the end of the day, you have to live in it and be happy and I love to look around my home and see all the old things I have taken years to accrue....they are comforting to me..perfection is overrated and probably not achievable! I'm going on a bit now so will leave you in peace.

Please know that the hormones will ecventually get themselves straightened out and life will get back on course again.

I am 55 and enjoying it! And yes, I don't have to shave my legs anymore ..lol!

I hope you don't mind me admitting but that did make me laugh. I have also been having some psychotic hormonal moments of late that almost sent Simon demented and left me thinking I was pregnant! But a test and a long chat to the doctor later conclude that I have been totally over doing it of late. The answer, get a job nearer to home to lose the two hour commute - and I have! And stop stressing about having my own business at the same time as working full time - which I'm going to do. Anyway, you'll get through this time. Love that final comment about the hair - hysterical. Unfortunately, at 36 I already worry about both the leg hairs and the moustache!

Take care Michele - hope you feel like your 'old' (young) self again soon.

don't worry about it! I have been like that all my life, I get PMT for 3 weeks a month, and have had senior moments my entire life!
at least through the tears etc, you can laugh about it

Thanks for your comment - I am thinking of taking a break as well. I will still read but wont post - I hardly get any comments these days - I think my blog is full of disasters and moans but that is my life at the moment. I have some old and tatty childrens books from a jumble and I wondered it they might be something you could use - there are some lovely illustrations. I can't throw them out! I will send them if you wish - email me and I will sort it. If I dont hear then never mind

OY! I can so relate! The menopause is upon me as well and your days sound much akin to mine. This too shall pass??

I enjoyed this post so much. Very funny read. Have a great day!

2008-07-06T00:17:00.000+02:00

Sorry Michele, but I laughed too-but hopefully you will feel better in knowing that a)You have made us all smile (with you, not at you!) and b)I too regularly leave my mobile and keys in very odd places -last time it was my dressing gown pocket..I rang my mobile from the house phone and was running around the house, desperately trying to find where the ringing was coming from before it went through to answerphone-4 times in total. Hmmm.I also start conversations and then forget what I was going to say ten seconds in. Not good.I say make the most of it,take advantage of having some eccentricities!Life would be dull without them.Plus I am all for not having to arse about shaving legs-a bonus, surely!!x

heheheheheteeeheeteeehheee..snicker....snicker.......

heheheheheteeeheeteeehheee..snicker....snicker....giggle..LAUGHING hyesterically....ahhhh...gawsh.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle, first off let me tell you you are not alone. We had an estate sale before my trip and I had put all of the money in a ziploc baggie and hid it. I hid it so well (and twice) that both times I went into a RAGE when I could not find it. I was convinced that a spy had found it or some 3 foot tall midget snuck in when I was not looking. This is only ONE instance, too. Countless others, such as yours, especially with the small objects. I finally got bi-focals so I would not be taking my glasses off and on and having to replace them at 400.00 each.

Just hang in there and keep a fan close by, like I do, for when you get the incredible and torential hot flashes that seem to only leave you with a wet bra and damp hair. Oh, and then there is the occasional dribble of sweat that seems to trail from the middle of the back to the small...ew!

love you!!

2008-07-05T12:49:00.000+02:00

Well - another thing we have in common - not just memories of Startrite shoes! My daughter bought me the Wrinkles book for my 50th birthday. I have my 52nd next week and Alan has his 62nd on Monday so you are amongst OLD friends. I know you arent as old as me but I am living the same life at the moment. I keep thinking what should I be doing with my life but at the moment I need the full time salary to get the house done. So I am feeling a bit adrift. On the memory front - I was sat in tears at the PC last weekend for almost 3 hours because I could not for the life of me remember any Yahoo or Freecycle details nor where I had put them for one when I forgot them GRRRRRRRR. The only person to be mad at was me. This morning I couldnt finish two sentences 'cos I forgot the word ! it turned out to be wall light! Hang in there and keep blogging - I love your blog

2008-07-05T02:34:00.000+02:00

I know I shouldn't have, but I did find a few of your moments a bit commical. Perhaps because I have had moments like those and am not near menopause. Hormones do do a number on women though. The upside is you probably made a few people laugh (like Dennis and your son's tutor). I just hope you find the comedy in the situation rather than beating yourself down. We're women, and we are entitled to our special moments.

Treat yourself to a delicious drink and sip is slowly while you sit in your lovely flower garden. That should help ease the angst. :)

Much love and hugs!

2008-07-04T21:21:00.000+02:00

Having just turned 48 I'm awaiting the dreaded 'M' word any day now!! I'm also getting very emotional and can cry at the drop of a hat. As for leaving the keys in the front door - I've been doing that particular trick for the past 10 years. Love the last quote - as I've already had to have my moustache zapped by electrolysis in order to look vaguely feminine again. I can highly recommend it, it works a treat, although is a tad painful.!

2008-07-04T19:59:00.000+02:00

Hi Michele, welcome to my world! Lately my most commonly said phrase has been 'Is it just me or is it hot in here?'. And all my (much younger) friends reassure me that it just my age, oh joy indeed!
Hope all is well (other than the ditzy moments), chat soon, Liz

Oh Michele,the last quote has made me laugh so much the tears are running down my face,I like to think of all these occurances as just eccentrisities, sounds a bit better than the M. word.Best Wishes from Annie x

2008-07-03T22:55:00.000+02:00

I have the makings of a moustache, but luckily a blonde one! I vow not to become paranoid about the fact like my Mum was. Most times I visited I would catch her sitting in the window with her magnifying mirror and tweezers. If it wasn't her moustache it was her chin! I can honestly say Michele I have been out of sorts lately, so don't worry, we all have these scatty moments, you are not alone! x

Lol ing!!! sorry Michele can't help it...the hair thing really made me giggle!
I am trying ever so well I might add to stay calm under mounting pressure...Mr N and I argue mostly about where we have put things! we must always tell eachother he says just in case one of us remembers!!!

2008-07-03T20:42:00.000+02:00

The menopause is not something I wouldn't have written about but a few weeks ago when I wrote about it to be honest I couldn't have cared what anyone thought. I think I had had a humour by pass at the time.
Anyway thanks for cheering me up with your funny blog. Also thanks for giving me something to look forward to- no more hairy legs.

2008-07-03T18:19:00.000+02:00

You are so funny! I also heard that you lose any hair where you had it and gain it where you don't want it! I've been having a few funnies recently such as leaving a plate and cutlery outside by the bin, putting things in the fridge that don't belong in the fridge and being generally forgetful. Now what was I supposed to be doing.......!!!
