stop worrying about what other people think

getting pretty good at this one. I realized i hit a milestone recently somehow managed to dye my hair a bright cherry kool-aid red about two weeks ago. It was supposed to be copper red, but anyhow…the point is that I proudly sported that crazy hair – even chatted with the neighbors, went running, volunteered at my son’s school before I could get an appointment with the hair dresser to get it fixed – AND it didn’t bother me what people thought at all! What a great feeling

Ok – so I thought I had this “issue” conquered like 10 years ago, but something strange happened – I bought a house in the suburbs. Why is this strange….well I’ll tell ya. It’s a brand new neighborhood so everyone moved in on our street around the same time and we have alot of outgoing people. Everyone hung out and bar-b-q-ed together, and everything was hunky dory – for a while. Of course lots of drama soon ensued and now everyone is talking behind each other’s back – including some stuff about me and my family. I don’t remember the last time this kinda thing has happened to me (high school?) and I am shocked at how much I have let it bother me. This has been going on for about 6 months and IT STILL bothers me to think that people are talking about me or have negative feelings about me and my family.
Bottom line – I know it’s really idiotic for me to let it get to me and this has made me realize that I’ve let my confidence slip big time. So I’m making a change – starting today…F – all them and their petty balogna! They’re probably just jealous cause I’m the hottest mom on the block!
