28 weeks, 1 day CS=4

I think I need to institute a rating scale of crankiness for every day so everyone will know to come hither or run away v. v. fast.
The scale will be like this:
1 = I LOVE THE WORLD AND BEING PREGNANT HAS BROUGHT ME NEW INSIGHT AND JOY I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD EXPERIENCE (FYI - this is unlikely to ever occur)
2= I actually feel pretty good today. I'm really excited to have a baby, and I can consider the idea of having another child at some future date without clawing my eyes out.
3= I am a large, bloated beast, but I have not thrown up or wet my pants, and I managed to put on shoes today.
4= I am tired, cranky, itchy, nauseated, hungry, whiny, yada yada yada. Probably best to postpone any non-urgent communication until I bump up to a 3.
5= If you value your life at all, please back away slowly without speaking, looking directly at me, breathing loudly, or making any noise whatsoever. I have a large kitchen knife and am looking for any excuse to use it.

What do you think? Should I tape a sticky to my head each morning so the world will know? I will at least include it in my daily blog title if you have an important matter to discuss with me and would like to know whether this is a good time. Today, not so much. You'll notice for today my Cranky Scale is a 4.
