I was going to title this post,"For All The Moms Who've Jeopardized Their Mother's Day Celebrations by Losing It With Their Kids This Week," but many of our Company Girls don't have children yet or have grown children so it wouldn't have applied to them. So I decided to expand the circle to include everyone, because we're all Company GIRLS!
I feel a little bit bad for all of our newcomers, and we've had about 20 new girls this week. (Welcome, girls!) You're going to think we never do any real work around here. It's just all fun and games. Shirking our responsibilities, yukking it up, being silly. And you thought you were coming here to get organized.
Well, you're HALF right. I can help get you organized to some degree, but Home Sanctuary is not really an "organizational" site, per se. I wouldn't really know how to classify what goes on here, except to say that we like to have fun and we love to make home a great place to be. And that's so all-encompassing, there's never any end to the things we can do together!
That being said, let's get to our Small Thing for today, because today is all about fun!
Today's Small Thing is to celebrate being a girl! OK, you can celebrate being a WOHMAN if that makes you feel better, but today I'm thinkin "GIRLY!" We girls shoulder a lot of responsibility: life is full of work and care taking and serving. Those are good things, important things, serious things.
But underneath it all, we oughta be wearing a pretty bra and fancy panties! I'm speaking metaphorically because we all know you can't smile all day in a push-up bra, but I'm saying we oughta remember that our femininity is what makes us who we are. We bring intelligence and practicality to the table, but we also bring warmth and beauty and softness to it, too.
Dang it, we should smell good, look fine and feel pretty!
So your assignment today is to do whatcha gotta do (take care of the kids, work, run errands) but take a moment to slather on some yummy lotion, spritz on some perfume, get out of those god-awful sweatpants, put some lipstick on, or part your hair on the other side...you choose what you'd like to do! I know it doesn't make sense to wear clanky bracelets when you're cleaning toilets....but then again, since when does being a girl have to make any sense? Wear the bracelets if it makes you feel good.
Celebrate being feminine! It's good to be a girl.
POINTS: 40 for digging deep and finding the girly-girl inside!
Let us know: what are you doing today?
P.S. I'm laughing because my day includes cleaning out the barn, jump-starting an old vehicle and pulling weeds. Not very feminine work, but hey, I'll be wearing lipstick!
