Yucky start to the day - hormones?

This morning just sucked. I was supposed to go to the lake for my open water dive. I felt yucky and so did my fiance, I've got all four kiddos over who were giving me puppy eyes wanting me to spend the day with them instead, and it's FREEZING outside! I mentioned these things to my fiance and he acted all grumpy about calling it off so I got stubborn and felt teary and said to myself, fine then we'll go. But then I got ahold of myself and told myself to think reasonably. So I asked him again if he was sure he wanted to go because another day when it was less cold, the kids weren't here, and we were both feeling better would probably be a better idea. I feel like he snapped at me for it although he insists that he didn't. So I sat there tearing up for awhile feeling miserable. Finally I just took hold of the situation, called my dive instructor, and rescheduled although I still feel bad about calling it off at the last minute like this.
It is "that time of the month". Problem is I've been blessed my whole life with no symptoms of PMS, not even getting crampy! I'm only 36 but I do think my hormones are starting to go a little wonky on me. I'm starting to feel a little achey, run down, light cramps, and overemotional once a month now. I almost wish I'd had a little more of it all along so I might deal with it a little better now.
What do you do when you're feeling overemotional? What do you do when your mood and your significant other's are clashing like this? Have you been through this?

I go through it every month, so it's not really anything new to my boyfriend. I hate feeling overemotional, but it's a woman's curse when it's 'that time of the month'. :(
He's been great though, will usually make me a cup of tea and ask what I want to do. Most of the time I just want to sit down and watch a movie or read, so that's usually what happens. You can't help but to feel like a spoiled rotten brat when they have to cater to you like that, but you can't very well help it yourself either. It's probably just best to explain to him that you can't help but to feel like that, and hope he understands. I'm sure he will though, he was probably going through life figuring he'd have to deal with it at some point and was really happy you seemed to be the exception to the rule. Most men can accept it though. It's part of life.
Sometimes, being a woman sucks.

Heya girl :) Eric is usually an absolute sent from above doll to me and actually spoils me like that most of the time already! LOL It was just one of those times that our moods were a bad mixture. He was very sweet for the rest of the day and apologized last night admitting that he was a being a grumpy butt.
