BUSY!!! Boy, I don't think my schedule is going to slow down until January. Between Layla and Belle's school activities and extracurricular activities and the church play and keeping the family fed and the house clean I don't know when there will be time to post anything. I will do my best though, I don't want to let any of faithful readers down.
I was watching "What Not to Wear" yesterday and the woman was 35 and frumpy, when asked how she let her self get that way she answered that she just always puts herself last. I could really connect with that woman, she was truly beautiful but like a lot of women, never looked in the mirror and said to her reflection "you're beautiful".
The hosts of that show got on to her and said that she was beautiful and to stop hiding behind the "mommy uniform" - in this case was a velvet track suit with bulky pockets in front- they told her she could be "Molly" and still be a mommy and a wife. She needs to realize she is still a person that holds many jobs but the jobs shouldn't drowned out the woman she is.
I walked away from that show ready to NOT wear a velvet jumpsuit that I have worn in the past, and get rid of a lot of old clothes that I think I hide in. Maybe it's this new chapter in my life of staying home and not being in the working world that makes me feel I don't need to dress nice, but I have to remember, I do still have a husband that would like to see make up on me from time to time. My girls probably like it when I get pretty, they say so before church every Sunday.
My mom was on to something when we were little. She would always wear her hair in curlers and clean up around the house and then right before Daddy came home she would fluff her hair and put make up on so he came home to a lovely wife and mother.
Ladies, throw out those old clothes, velvet jumpsuits and tapered "mommy jeans" go out and buy something nice, with a waist line. You may see me out there buying something too.
