Big girl panties

Big girl panties are hard to find somedays. I lost every big girl pair this week... I have had five days of disruption. My life circumstances seem to be bogging me down. I was losing sight of who I am and where I am going. I spend a few sleepless nights thinking about packing up my life, the girls and moving to some exotic island. Then I got a face-book message today from someone in my life that was once considered my family. Just 4 sentences , 4 sentences that made such a difference. A note to say hello and that I was missed. I needed this message. I have been hurting, and didn't realize it. I was feeling left out and mourning my old life. The new me knows this is crazy as I love my life. Sometimes the old me and new me don't talk. New me says "wake up!". Pity party is over, big girl panties on, head held high, and stepping back on the high road. Four cliches in one long grammar stricken sentence. This must be my new record.
