What Is Your "I am Woman, Hear Me Roar" Moment?

Today while Mr. Lipstick was far away studying some yawn-inducing negotiable instruments, I carried in a sealed FIFTY POUND bag of cat litter. By myself. Then I poured a little bit in the cat's box and carried it back out to the garage. I felt like roaring because I weigh 108 pounds. (Don't hate...I'm freakishly short. In fact, I'm so short that I'm barely even here). Granted I was stooped over like granny in the garden and I was gruntin' like a pig, but nobody said you had to be graceful if you were going to roar.

Alright y'all...share some stories and start bragging.

I changed a tire on the side of a busy highway, in the dark, in nice clothes. It took a couple of hours but I managed to get it done!

ROAR!

It took me an hour to change a tire once-- but it was pitch black out, I was drunk and it was in my pick-up which means you have to get the spare from underneath the vehicle.

But the cat litter...you did good ;).

I ripped up all the dead plants and bushes in our yard after the frost and felt very accomplished and strong. Some of those beetches were rooted way down!

I held a handstand the other day in the middle of a room by myself (no wall or person to catch me) for about a minute and didn't fall.

Since you don't know me, I'm terribly unbalanced so this is a huge feat!

I bow down! My only She-Ra moment was carrying a flat of Diet Coke through Costco because I was too lazy to walk all the way to the front to get a cart! I managed, but I'm sure I looked insane!

I am also freakishly short. But I, sadly, weigh much more than 108 pounds. You must be tiny.
I don't have a "Hear Me Roar" moment to share. I can barely open a jar of peanut butter without asking my husband to loosen the lid for me.

About ten years ago when my boys weren't yet teenagers I drove with them from Michigan to Colorado ,without my husband to visit my friend. I was so proud of myself. It was a "I'm a big girl" hear me roar moment for me when I drove back into the driveway.
