Being female...

...can be a pain in the belly.

Make me happy today and I might burst into tears. Make me angry today and I might burst into tears; then I'll hit you around the head with whatever comes to hand first.

There are days when I need to stay at home and shut the world out. I won't deny it, going to work is more of a necessity than a pleasure for me. If I didn't have to put food on the table or moisturiser on my face (yes, that's a necessity) I'd be at home writing full time, or watching Fern and Phillip - or whoever they have on nowadays - on This Morning, yeah that might be closer to the truth but anyway you get the point. Home is where my heart is.

Ask my boyfriend and he'll tell you this is part of my normal monthly routine. There are the days when I loathe having to leave the house to go to work, or even leaving the house altogether. Then there are days when I can't stand sitting in front of the telly for more than two minutes:

me: Why can't we do something instead of sitting in front of the TV like zombies?
him: You said you wanted to watch this yesterday.
me: We need to do something with our lives. We stay in far too much. Let's go out.
him: (staying silent, it's the sensible option).
me: I'm going to write my novel.

If you're male and you think women are a foreign entity, you should try being female. It's an experience to say the least. When you're a woman, you just never know what mood you're going to be in when you wake up each morning.
