Well now that is not so pretty ...

Do you ever walk past the mirror, catch a glimpse of your 'natural beauty', and have no option but to burst out laughing at yourself. With wavy locks, one does not have the option of going to bed with wet hair (which is rather unavoidable with swimming) and walking up looking like anything but a troll-doll ... yes, yes it is that pretty. Add some beautiful bags under the eyes from not sleeping, three sweaters because you are sick and can't seem to get warm enough, meaning you are also pale ... and let me tell you there is nothing prettier. I don't understand why I am getting sick so much this year ... I should have got that stupid flu-shot ... or I could always wear a face-mask into sessions, or just keep my distance from the kids (however this may result in further decline of their emotional health ... "but mommy, even the counselor won't come close to me"). Yeah, should have got the flu shot.
