You mothers out there who are all well put-together with your hair nicely coifed and full makeup on with actual clothes on. You make me sick.
It wasn't so long ago that I wouldn't leave the house without at least putting on jeans and a hoodie and some makeup. Tonight, I left the house in stretchy pants, a huge shirt, and my Crocs. And when I looked in the mirror, I realized that I actually looked like Uncle Fester. Cool.
I don't even like to think about how it's possible that my husband finds me attractive. I mean, I honestly have dark rings around my eyes...who needs smoky eyeshadow? You could just have a 7-month-old who doesn't sleep through the night for a few days. *Poof* smoky eyes! Except not as cute...
How long does this period of unattractiveness last? I'm not even going to get started in on the baby weight. All those damn Sausage McMuffins are just hanging around on my hips and belly. Don't judge: my #1 craving during pregnancy was Sausage McMuffins. I'm talking all-out, I'll kill someone for a Sausage McMuffin craving.
Maybe I'm just being a big baby about this and need to step it up and make the conscious effort to get myself together in the morning. Will try it tomorrow.
Tomorrow's mission: real clothes and makeup. I'm not ready to address the hair yet. I'm just going to continue pulling it up in a ponytail for awhile. Baby steps.
You are beautiful Elizabeth! You still have that"new Mother glow" and thought you looked FABULOUS last week. But if you must...start with getting a babysitter and go to a spa day, start with a massage/facial to relax you and just get pampered! You deserve it. Love, DIana
