When your favourite hat creates a matted rat's nest at the back of your head and you can't imagine brushing you hair even one more time.
When your hair keeps dipping into your tea or oatmeal in the wee hours of the morning while you're trying to figure out how it's possible to function on such little sleep.
When you have to leave the house, but wearing a balaclava would seem a little too eccentric, but you also haven't showered for three days (and then you also wear a cute little knit hat becuase then the sloppiness looks intentional).
When you want pigtails, but can only find one really stretched out elastic that you once used to hold shut the cupboard under your sink so that the baby didn't eat all the Borax.
When you're feeling as peachy as pie and you get a compliment from your boy because, actually, he thinks you're super cute and digs the side braid like he digs your smile.
...
This gal rocks a mean side braid too. So does this gal, and this one, and this one (whose glasses are adorable).
