1- Highlight Yourself
Check - just did them Sunday:
What I mean is, pump your style up a bit. I'm usually more in favor of natural-looking color than crazy special effects, and loved it when people thought my redish brown was natural (nope, it's a bit darker). But the reason why I did this was because I couldn't stand looking at the mirror and just seeing a mom anymore. I needed something that said, "hey, I spent some time on myself, so I must exist besides the baby." If you don't want to change your hair, a new lipstick might rock your world just as much.
2- Trust Yourself
All throughout the day I'd been thinking things like, "This house is a mess - I don't know how to clean a house"; "Melissa is cranky - I don't know how to make her happy"; "I feel overwhelmed - I'm the worst time manager ever." Without realizing, I was paralyzing myself with the fear of failure, or believing I'd already failed. So lately I've been trying to be like, "This corner is messy - then I shall clean it up"; "Melissa is cranky - there must be a reason, or else it's naptime (yay)"; "I feel overwhelmed - I shall eat some chocolate".
3- Amuse Yourself
The other day, Melissa puked 3 times before noon. Of course it drove me crazy, but after I thought of telling this to David when he'd get home, I laughed. I mean, she already needed a bath before her morning naptime, which made her sleep for about 3 hours, by the way. If every puke means an hour of sleep, I say, bring 'em on :).

I like the highlights, and your curls look pretty!
Agreed on all three counts! I think as women, we're lucky to be able to switch up our hair's color or length or texture to make us feel better. I am also guilty of your 2nd point. Yesterday, I had to tumble some wrinkled clothing in the dryer. While I was waiting for that (since I wanted to climb back into bed), I decided to do some cleanup in the kitchen. I can't believe how much I got done in that tiny 15 minute period! It's similar to the flylady cleaning philosophy of racing against a timer to do something.
I agree with all 3. The highlights are so soft and pretty with your curls! I love curly hair!!! And chocolate, why yes, always an excellent plan!
