Mt. Fuji on My Forehead

As if I weren't feeling unattractive enough with my frizzball hair (thanks to the "still winter" weather we're having in Portland even though it is JUNE!), the bags under my eyes large enough to carry all of my crap on an intercontinental journey (thanks to my son thinking that 5:40 am is an awesome time to wake up), I now have the most tremendous cystic zit smack dab in the middle of my forehead.

As I threw my arm across my forehead while still in bed in a totally melodramatic fashion after looking at how early my kid decided to wake up (AGAIN) I felt that instant bruising pain that only a massive skin eruption could provide and I knew instantly that I was in for a date with the ugly stick. I have avoided the mirror until just now and almost fell onto my ass at the enormity of this pustulent appendage that has claimed prime real estate on on my face. It is seriously huge....like goose egg huge. Even my husband looked sorry for me and said "Wow honey, that is really bad..." and he normally has a pretty good filter about this sort of thing....he knows my wrath all too well.

I love this. I never had acne as a teen but now all of a sudden, thanks to stress and no sleep I am prime candidate for the Pocket Protector Award. Why doesn't anyone tell you that along with the pitter patter of little feet you also get to experience the true meaning of fugly? I mean, a fair warning would've been nice!

Ok, gonna go lay down for a minute. The sheer weight of this bugger is making my head ache!

All I can do is echo Sassys, MM. LMAOOOOOOO!!!!

I know your pain only toooo well. Here's some fair warning for you, menopause brings those hideous things out, too. Nothing like waking up in sheets wet from those lovely power surges only to discover a third eye in the middle of your forehead when you finally pry your bleary eyes open.

Now, I am NOT getting paid to tell you this. Bare Minerals has the most fantastic stuff for those things. It's called Rare Minerals and you can get it on QVC.com. $60 for a 3 month supply, if you use it every day. I use it every day cause I'm old and it's does all kinds of great things for your skin. But one of the greatest things it does is make those Mount Vesuvius eruptions on your face go away really, really fast. I mean, Fast! They've also got a formulation just for blemishes but frankly, it just didn't work that well for me. But the regular Rare Minerals has done wonders - absolute wonders. Ok, end of public service announcement.

Sorry about your affliction. The only other advice I can offer you is, wear a low-brimmed hat or some really thick bangs. LOL!!! Sorry, just couldn't resist that.
