Yeah, I know that really freaked you out and it got your attention, so let me explain. 

Once a month a woman has a menstruation.  While there are some amazing insights regarding a woman's body and her menstrual cycle, such as when she is born she has somewhere shy of half a million eggs stored in her ovaries...  this little article is not about those fascinating facts.  But there is one that I think has always made me think.  That is when a woman has her menstruation once a month she  becomes hormonal and while that is great for guys... again... this article is not about that either.  I bet I really got your attention going at this point don't I?  <smiling to myself with satisfaction> Well don't get too excited.  I just have this theory...

Once a month a woman has a period; menstruation.  For you insightful men, during or around this time many women become harder workers and they don't seem to tire. It could happen just before, during or just after their menstruation. They just go and go and go.  Not all women, but plenty I've come to know over the years.  And don't go reading between the lines so hard here.  I could be more wrong than right on this one.. it's JUST A THEORY.

Now if you are willing to accept what I'm surmising here or if you are just willing to suspend disbelief for the duration of this article we have established that once a month a woman has an energy spike.  Now for my theory.

If a woman has two or three days a month where something hormonal comes over her and we know why... she is menstruating...  why then do I once a month get really active for a couple days.  I mean, you could ask me to paint the house and I could.  I clean the carpets... build things... want to get things organized that I could have given a shit about all month etc... I'll wake up early, go to bed late and not be tired the next morning.  It's like this for two or three days every month... OK not every month, but then again maybe every month!  I'll have to record this hypothesis going forward.  Maybe I'll let you know. 

Now I'm betting.. I'm absolutely sure there are women reading this now taking pen to paper in protest.  "I don't feel active whem I'm menstruating! I feel tired!"  Maybe so.  And for you ladies that do experience pain and suffering during this time I feel sorry for you.  But if that is true, then if nothing else... it does just go to show that the hormones in play here, sure do affect you more than you care to have be true. You could just have your active time just before or just after your menstruation.  In any event I'd hate to think that I would have NO control over my mood because of hormones but I suppose it is what it is.

So... in closing... Men may have a once a month hormonal spike that makes us more active and less tired than the remaining days in the month.  If this is true... imagine the world this opens up for you ladies!  "Lars..." -- "Yes dear..." -- "Before you go out today... Paint the house!"  LOL
