What P.M.S really stands for
254 days without yelling, 111 days of loving more to go! Dear T.M.I., Did I just cross the line with this post? What can I say. It’s that time of month. I have P.M.S. big time and it takes over my ability to think rationally. Not sincerely (because I don’t feel sincere or nice when […]
