When I use to notice that I was unusually grumpy, I would sit myself down and have a talk with myself and ususally I could figure out what was wrong... Ususally it was PMS and I could then get a handle on it. If I couldn't, I would shut myself in the house until it passed.

Before, during and after Katrina, I was so stressed that I knew I was a Bi*** to be around so I spent a lot of time in my room alone.
