I'm a woman, I think it's pretty normal so I'm not afraid to say it. Today was an "ugly day." I didn't get a chance to do my hair before it air dried and was hopeless. I just wanted to be comfortable so I wore "boy shorts" with the big pockets on the side. Kind of like carpenter pants but they are actually made for girls. They really added to my ugly look today. Finally at the end of the day I looked in the mirror with my mousy hair and my pajama shirt accidentally tucked in my hiked up pajama pants and thought "How does James ever find me attractive? Yikes!" I even told him I thought this but but he lovingly told me he's attracted to me no matter what. And that if my pants weren't hiked up so high it wouldn't be so bad.
I guess that's why I get my hair cut so often. When I get complacent about styling it I have to cut it to motivate me to do it in the morning. Hopefully I don't let myself have any more ugly days this week. I just don't think my self-esteem can take it. I hope this isn't too much to ask but can you guys send me some uplifting words? I guess I'm not just feeling down because of my looks today. "Thank you hormones. I hate your stinking guts." Thanks y'all.

LOL I'm laughing about your pants being hiked up! However, you are a beautiful girl/mom. We all have ugly days. I think we need ugly days to appreciate the good days
Lydia, you're so amazing. I'm sure you weren't ugly yesterday- but I do know the feeling. You have the stamina to keep going all day long every day with two kids (who are wonderful, but I'm sure wear you out occasionally). You're an amazing mother and wife. I'm glad that I can always count on you to listen to me and cheer me up and spend some quality girl time with. I don't know what I'd do without you!
You totally make me laugh! Yesterday was one of those "I didn't shower" days for me. Yeah--my hair was stringy, no makeup, and I wore my grungies. I don't prefer those days...but what can you do? You can't necessarily leave the kids alone for an hour while you primp, right? Your time yesterday happened to go to things more important than hair and clothes. (What? There are things more important than hair and clothes?) In the end, it was one day out of many when you're on top of your game. We're all allowed to have a down day. But, not a few of them in a row. So, today will be better. :) Just know that you're not alone--and appearances can quite often be deceiving. I, for one, am glad to know that I'm not the only one who has days like that!
And--now for my comment on your other post. What a fun Park City adventure! I'm glad you were able to get away. It makes a HUGE difference when you can remember what it's like to be your husband's woman, instead of just mommy and house-care-taker. BTW--just my opinion, but you should have kept the Silvers. There's nothing like an expensive pair of jeans to attract Murphy's Law. ;)
So true. Ugly days are no fun. I think though that most of the time we are the only ones that think we look ugly. I say most of the time because I have been positive on occasion that I was scareing my children. Here's hop'in that the ugly days are few and far between.
I just have to say we ALLLL Have those days. In fact I think 6 out of 7 days per week I feel like that! I'm glad to hear we have these days. Us women have to stick together. You are amazing! :)
