First and foremost, all girls are always and forever Princesses, at all times, even on beast mode day.
The picture above cracked me up! It summed up ALL of the ways I was feeling.
Did you ever feel like all of those faces and personalities mixed into one poor over stimulated body???
Did you ever feel like you just need to quit at life for the day?
Like you lost all ability to keep calm and carry on?!
Like you lost all ability to keep calm and carry on?!
You know what I'm talking about, that moment when that hair you can't find keeps touching your arm, and it's like if you feel it ONE more time you're going into beast mode, and ripping out your hair!
OR your skin is so itchy, and oily, and dry, and your makeup looks like a bad paint by number job, and you swear, if you itch or look at your self one more time you're going to scratch your face off?
Ohhh yea, you're violent.
Everything is driving you nuts, mostly yourself, but oh Lord, if you dare deal with another human being, may the force be with you.
What do you do when this happens?!
I was at this point yesterday, the day just seemed to unravel if I liked it or not. I have been working on cutting down on some gained weight from steroid injections....no luck per the scale, and I had missed 2 medication times, I had to take 2 days off working out, my hair was my worst enemy, I can't even talk about my face, my lips were uncontrollably dry, and Lord help anything that spoke or got near me, volumes were too loud, smells were too strong, the light was too bright or too dark, everything was spilled or dropped, and the grump just kept growing all day!
I often wonder if it's only women that suffer these moments or not. I'd vote no because in my 10 years with my husband I've never witnessed anything more than a temporary moment of stress, but it always quickly passes.
I think that part of being a woman is our great ability to hold in any inappropriate social behaviors, including losing our cool, for the sake of those around us. Then with the power of one little tickling ghost hair BOOM sanity is lost.
You know what?!
For all of that appropriate social behavior and forever fluctuating hormone business we deal with, this is our damn day!
Let it go!
Have no tolerance!
Throw that hair up in a pony tail or bun and bobby pin it til the cows come home!
We're like volcanoes. Stuffed full of boiling hormones and unending patience and eaten words. This day my lady friends is our self cleaning day.
Go, eat anything, say anything, be comfortable, and forgive yourself today.
And here's a shirt you can wear to warn those around you....you're welcome.
....I just pulled a hair tightening my ponytail....let us pray.
