Gold Stars for Grown-Ups

Grown-Ups deserve gold stars, too, ya know.

 

Especially the grown-ups with a dead husband.

You actually got dressed today?! ☆

You talked to another human being? ☆

Without mentioning your dead husband? ☆ (I don’t get a star for this one)

☆☆☆BONUS STARS IF YOU MAKE EYE CONTACT ☆☆☆

You didn’t throat punch the women in line at at grocery store for complaining about their husbands? ☆

Wait…you ACTUALLY went to the grocery store? ☆

☆☆☆BONUS STARS IF YOU DIDN’T SPEND MORE THAN $50 ON ALCOHOL AND SWEETS ☆☆☆ 

☆☆☆ DOUBLE BONUS STARS IF YOU DIDN’T CRY SNIFFING THE KIND OF DEODORANT HE USED TO WEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORE ☆☆☆

(I also don’t get a star for either of these)

You kept your children fed, showered and alive today? (cereal counts as dinner) ☆

Kept yourself fed, showered and alive today? (dry shampoo counts as a shower, right?)

 

But you know what?

Even if you didn’t do any of this today.

Even if you’re just here.

Just alive and you make it through another day…☆
