"g.p."


You know those days when you are so grumpy that you start to annoy yourself? Today was that day.  Every little thing felt super weird.  I was super sensitive to everything everyone said. Basically I had my grumpy pants on (as Sophie would call it).  I felt all out of sorts.  I was running into polls, forgetting where I put my things, my hair was a mess, I saw a client who I had cut their hair early this year and lets just say it wasnt my best and so seeing her made me angry and brought back bad memories of how I wanted to give up cutting hair and to top it off, and I couldnt remember the last time I showered.  So gross.  I felt gross.  I felt weird.  There was a party going on- a pity party for myself.  Why? Not quite sure, I just felt like it.  I got home from school and the first thing I did was jump in the shower.  That was after I vented and looked into my room and couldnt find the floor.  Clothes EVERYWHERE. Seriously what was wrong with me? It was disgusting.  I hopped in the shower anyways and decided I would clean it after I got out.  I took my time in the shower, shaved and just sat under the hot water and just breaaaaaaathed.  I got out- feeling much better and refreshed and walked into my room. SPOTLESS. Bed made, clothes put away, all my do-dads in their places, SPOTLESS. My jaw dropped.  I know thats just an expression but it happened.  What the heck! was the first thing I thought. Then I saw a little note on my bed from my cute friends wishing me a better day.  I was stunned.  I sat there for a few seconds just taking it all in.  It was a small act of kindness but it had a bigger impact on me then they probably know.  It was the last thing I expected.  To be honest I was thinking they all wanted to shoot me- could Lauren just shut up about her crappy day already? Cus thats probably what I would have done to myself! But nope- they turned around and cleaned my entire room while I was in the shower.  I had never been so grateful and I realized how incredibly ridiculous I had been all day.  I truly have thee most amazing friends and they have always been there for me- even when my grumpy pants are on, and on very tightly.  I love them :)
