After a week of PMS-ing, I felt like it was an ideal time to focus on what I love about being a woman.  I mean when you're having cramps, hot flashes, head aches, back aches, leg pains and intermittent attacks of insanity; it certainly helps to focus on the positive!  So here goes:  Ahem (Throat clearing)

Why I love being a girl!      by Serene


1.  First and foremost, I get to be the pretty one in my marriage!  Now my husband is sooooo handsome and supremely masculine.  But one of the things I love is that he's not PRETTY....I get to be the pretty one.  I get to be the one that takes an hour to get ready, that gets to bat my eye lashes, that gets to look at myself in the mirror several times a day and the one that (most of the time!) smells pretty!


2.  I get to mother!  As it happens, I have 5 children including my stepdaughter.  So I may biologically be a mother, but I've mothered plenty that weren't mine and if you think about it.....you probably have too!  On Mother's Day, I give best wishes to EVERY woman because if you're a woman, you've mothered someone whether you realize it or not.  It's in our nature to nurture!


3.  I get to have an ABSURD amount of shoes!  SHOES!!!!  GLORIOUS SHOES!!!!  Oh my!  I love me some shoes!!!!  Most especially heels!  While dancing all this past weekend, I took off my shoes once and quickly put them back on.  It was actually more comfortable for me to dance in heels than bare feet.  Go figure!


4.  I get to wear BEAUTIFUL things!!!  I'm so loving silk lately.  It just feels amazingly like feathers on my skin.....like it's just barely there.  I come across beautiful stunning prints that I would NEVER be able to wear if I were a man.  


5.  I get to blame crap on hormones!  Am I a bit pissy today?  Oh, I'm sorry....it's my horror-mones.   I know I'm super sensitive.  It must be these dang hormones!  YES!  I'm really going to eat 2 cheese coneys, a large order of tater tots with a side of jalapeno poppers and gallon of diet coke!   But it's just a snack!  I'll still cook dinner!  Does that sound like a lot?  Hmmmmm....I must be hormonal......


So tell me girlies....what do you love about being a girl, chick, dame, broad, bad mamajamma, shawty, or lady!
