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... ...   more »

Now this is a goofy word I have to admit.  Yet don't you just yearn for those moments?   We've all had them I think.  Do you recall that lighthearted feeling?  Sometimes it is a moment filled with anticipation... she's getting off the plane, you will see her any moment.  You feel ...giddy.

Considering my own life, I've found I get to experience it a good bit lately.  I get to repeat it when we have movie night at our house.  Last night was movie night.  My one son at one side curled up under my arm while my other son at the other snug under the other.   You catch yourself...  this won't last forever.  How long will it last?  I mean... they are both growing up so fast and there comes a point where it's just not cool to have dad with his arms around you. :)

Knowing that day will come, I appreciate these moments.  But the good thing right now is that for a while I can still have movie night and the boys will still want to turn all the lights off, sit on the couch with me, toss a blanket over us and say, "Dad, I love you."  They say other things too that really make my heart light but this article is not about hurting people to repeat them would go against the point of this article.  Just take my word that these children come up with some of the most ardent expressions that give enough peace to realize there is not much more in life that can make you that happy.   So I sat there and stepped outside myself a brief moment as I do often these days and felt giddy for what I had.

I know love for a woman or man can make ...   more »
