But I'll still be the same person when all is said and done."<BR/><BR/>I completely disagree. You may still be in all your prescribed roles, but if you do something even as small as get yourself a new haircut, a new package of panties, tinted lip gloss, or one new skirt from the clearance rack at Old Navy, YOU WILL FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOURSELF. I think you're great, and you should too.<BR/><BR/>We just went through a horrible bankruptcy and I do a little under-the-table work from home, but all my money is going to pay back the IRS. For all intents and purposes, I am a WAHM who does not draw any kind of a salary. I figure that for all the work I do, we can "afford" to pay me $10 a week, and those little things I mentioned above are the little things I've gotten myself every week for the past month. I feel better about myself when my smile is brighter and not chapped, when I look in my panty drawer and see bright colors and no elastic wormies, when I put on my new $6 skirt from Old Navy, and with the $10 I earned this week and the money left over from the skirt, underwear, and the chapstick weeks, I got myself a nice bob haircut AND left the hairdresser a decent tip. I left today feeling great.<BR/><BR/>I lucked out and found a free yoga class and one side benefit of working out is that my posture has improved a thousandfold. I feel so good when I realize I am sitting up straight subconsciously and not slouching like I normally do. <BR/><BR/>So GO FOR IT, woman! Do one special little thing for yourself under $10 every week. Imagine if you paid someone to do what you do every week...$10 is a bargain, but you can really make yourself feel good, and that affects your life and the lives of your families.<BR/><BR/>Gettin' offa me soapbox, <BR/><BR/>Kristina R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-1136695125434301552006-01-07T20:38:00.000-08:002006-01-07T20:38:00.000-08:00Dellaina, I have a wicked smile on my face picturi...Dellaina, <BR/><BR/>I have a wicked smile on my face picturing you walking through the gym parking lot in....yoga pants!!<BR/><BR/>Moo ha ha ha, <BR/><BR/>Kristina R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-1136401469678877222006-01-04T11:04:00.000-08:002006-01-04T11:04:00.000-08:00Good luck at the gym Dellaina.
