Stupid pitfall....

[beadgirl]

I was wrapping up these little gifts today (My extended family xmas party is tonight) and I had bought these really cute boxes. They're six-sided and when folded properly they have a 3-D pointsettia on the top. Well, needless to say I could not fold them properly, mostly because proper instructions were not printed on the box. I tried and tried and tried but could not seem to fold these damn boxes right. I started to wimper a little... I have to leave for this damn party in an hour and I tried to fold it again. and again. I finally got so pissed that I threw 'em acroos the room and really started to cry. I mean I was hyperventilating...I couldn't catch my breath and my chest started to hurt.I'm not usually like this and I know it kind of has to do with PMS but still, WTF! Anyway I was so upset and crying so hard that I popped a xanax and now I am mad at myself. [img]smileys/smilies_07.gif[/img]

LOL - beadgirl don't get mad at yourself for taking a Xanax, hell, i have been through about 20 already this week. I am PMSing too. We all have good weeks and bad weeks. I just have to laugh thinking about you throwing a tantrum and throwing the boxes at the wall. I do the same thing every single time my husband and I are supposed to go to some social event and I can't find anything to wear that doesn't make me look ugly and fat. I throw huge tantrums, throw myself on the bed, start crying and screaming how I hate my life a tthe top of my lungs. It's got to take all my poor husband's resolve not to laugh at me!!

I could picture myself doing the same thing with the boxes. It took me
about 10 minutes just to figure out a regular rectangular shaped gift
box.

hey, if it's not okay to take a xanax when you're on PMS and crying--
then when is it? your stress about other things obviously got the
better of you, and it's that time of year for all of us.



it's totally ok. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

LoL that sounds like something I would do if I got frustrated. Luckily I'm too cheap to buy any boxes for presents, I just throw them in a nice bag or wrap them up in wrapping paper at my parent's house! It's okay that you flipped out, I've flipped out over less! Don't worry about it!
