Wearing My Big Girl Panties…ON MY HEAD!
Ok…so I last blogged that it was time to put on my big girl panties and deal with stuff, and I’ve been busy trying to do just that. But I’ve run into a little snag. I’m going to paint a mental picture for you; it could get ugly so read on at your own discretion. You know how you get out of the shower, dry off and step into those clean skivvies? And you know how sometimes you are rushing just a bit…get that first foot through the leg hole and do a little hop as you thrust in the other foot…but uh oh…you didn’t make it…that second foot hit fabric, not the opening. So you hop around a little more, trying desperately to get your toes untangled and that dang second foot through, maybe even getting a little spin action in on it. You may start to hear music as you do the panty twist. Finally, that second foot goes through…you have success…WHEW! Then it hits you…WHAT am I doing. Just stop this nonsense. Maybe even laughing at the thought of yourself and what that little dance must have looked like. Thank goodness the mirror was still steamed up!
A buddy, who is dear to my heart, suggested that I don’t need to stress over getting those big girl panties on…and as a matter of fact, I don’t have to wear any at all, hee hee. FREEDOM! I just need to do the best I can do, not worry about what I feel I should measure up to, or how quickly I need to do so. So if I want to go without them, it’s ok. If I try them on from time to time and only get one leg in doing the panty twist, it’s ok. But right now…for this moment…I’m gonna wear them on my head and look for the fun and laughter that I’ve been missing out on. If it takes wearing panties (clean panties) on my head to find the joy, then that’s what I’m going to do. So here’s to you Chrisie!

Great mental image… I’m about falling out of my chair laughing… and next time I’m doing the panty dance… I’m just going to go commando… or join you with the panty hat.
You sound like you’re feeling a little better, glad for that! Keep looking for the silver lining, even if it’s just a quick sparkle you catch out of the corner of your eye!
LOL~ you are too much, girl! Thanks for making me crack up this morning.
What would we do here on BuddySlim without you???
Happy weekend to you!!
Such a cute story…has me laughing out loud here!!! Sad thing is I think I’ve had the same panty dance!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!
Hey wear them on your head…on your arm…wherever they will make you smile! Life is too short to worry about all the small things. I’ve learned to pick and choose my battles in life…Wear those panties with pride!!! Love ya!!!
Lol..thanks I needed a laugh and a reminder to find happiness in my day and not to sweat the small stuff…PMS today..need I say more?
THat is such an AWESOME blog! Love the image! Reminded me of myself at first but then towards the end it made me think of my son. He is just now wearing undies instead of diapers - there are many days he goes commando, wears the girl underwear that he picked out at the store along with the boy underwear, wears a diaper, does that dance trying to put them on - just does it all. It is all part of the process and it is all sooooooo okay!
Made me laugh once again. The visual is too! much! lol! Thank you for that. Where the panties on your head to the grocery store if that will keep you smiling and happy, lol! Hey! just think about how many others you will get laughing. Luv Ya! sista! Soooo happy to see this side of you again.
Ya know…. we might just start a fad..lol What if we all started our day with a laugh, like maybe brush brush our teeth with our pantie hats on? (as long as no one else sees us) I just might try it tomorrow. Thanks for the funny blog.
Laughin and cryin at the time again! You do that to me…just like My Father does:)
What a mental image you paint…you sure can tell a story in a way that people can hear what you are saying:)
I love you so much…my sweet sister, and it is a blessing to hear that you are doing so great…learning to enjoy the life He died to give you! Can’t wait to hear about the camping trip…I know God will meet you there…in a special intimate way…as only He can!
Blessings!!!!
I have a similar problem with my favorite black strappy heels. I love them but trying to buckle the strap isn’t always easy to do. I bend my leg in funny ways to reach the strap and then struggle to get that stupid little metal prong in the hole…only to find out when I stand up that I got it too tight (or too loose.) On to round 2.
Rotlmao!! OMG the mental pic! I can so relate!! Good idea, to wear them on my head! Love you!
Yay! Sounds like I have some hat panty dancin partners…woohoo!
Your blog brought back memories. I had a good friend for a while whose mother used to take off her panties at night and put them over her curlers so her hair wouldn’t get messed up at night (uuuuggggggg). He and I had more fun at her expense but she did have the most beautiful hair I’d ever seen!
Anyway, thanks for the smiles. I needed them today.
That was too funny girl. You do whatever works for you. I like how you don’t have to wear them and if you try them on from time to time it’s ok to get just one leg. I like that freedom you’ve given yourself. We just don’t need that added stress of pushing pushing pushing to get what we want. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the journey.
