Harder
I am doing NaBloPoMo. Lucky you, a post everyday. I am excited. I love reading everyones blogs and spend most of my days doing so. The Family blog is easy,any picture of Wyatt will do, but I feel a little more pressure to preform over here. I'll do my best anyway and guess what you can't leave comments so if it sucks I'll never know about it.
When I was young-- younger, and naive I can remember telling myself and my friends that I didn't understand how women could let themselves go. I would watch Oprah and see women getting makeovers and through out the show it would be blamed on giving too much of themselves to others and nothing to themselves. I always scoffed at them. Is it really that hard to put some makeup on and do your hair? I would ask? And how hard is it to get an hour of exercise in each day-- you just need some dedication!
I managed to keep myself well groomed after marriage. Wade is pretty much self sufficient and life didn't change much for me once married.
I understand now. I have one baby. One very easy baby and I still can not motivate myself to do my hair or makeup. I always feel like there is something else I should be doing: Walking the dogs, folding the laundry, making dinner, getting to work on time, reading to superchunk, or just talking to my husband. I see supermodel moms around me and realize I am the Mom I scoffed at not too long ago.
I guess I am not as good at this as I once thought.
