Remember when you were a kid and you and your friends would decide that it
was “Opposite Day”? Then you would pester other people who weren’t clued into your little secret. If they would answer a question with yes, you would say, “you mean no…IT’S OPPOSITE DAY”, and so on. As a kid, it was fun and mind stimulating to try to be clever with all of your opposites. As an adult, it’s just nagging and annoying.
Being a pregnant woman with twins means that opposite day is everyday. I feel the opposite of what I normally would in most situations, and therefore sense that at times I am that kid, nagging and annoying everyone around me. It takes quite a bit of mental discipline to act rational when my emotions are irrational. I feel sorry for crazy people, no joke. What a crappy life to live in delusion and have little or no hope of a glimpse back into reality. At least from time to time I enter back into reality and it reminds me of my irrational moments. Otherwise, I would be tempted to consider my moods swings as the new reality. They are SO STRONG!
You know how they make those kitchy T-shirts that pregnant women can wear that say, “Baby On Board”, “Oh BOY I’m Pregnant” and so on? Typically I’m not a fan of stuff like that. However, if they would make a shirt that said “I’m Sorry…I’m Hormonal” or “ Caution…Mood Swings May Occur at Any Time”, I’d buy one if every color for each day of the week.
