To take a shower...or not to take a shower...

[3sweetpeas]

I have a personal goal today.... to fix myself up like... like I used to everyday.  This thought came to me when my better half said to me, "You never get dressed anymore"... Well to the contrary... I am dressed everyday..pj bottoms and a tee shirt... bra is optional...and sometimes I am dressed so well I wear the exact same clothes two days in a row!  I feel like telling him the obvious...." Why my dear? " I dont go anywhere... I dont see anyone...and if I get baby food on me.. its no big deal... I have lots of his old T-shirts to wear..

Then I thought... this is selfish... he deserves a day here or there to not cringe if he should brush against my hairy legs..

So... Gage will go into his highchair... loaded with toys.. I will play peek-a-boo through  the shower door every two seconds... while singing the abc's.. the usual...  Then the make-up and hair will be an ongoing process that will last hours... put on foundation;get baby  put on blush; feed baby  put mascara on ONE eye.. save baby's life when he try's pulling the lamp down ontop of himself.. oh ya.. today will be FUN..

Yup... and they never know what it takes to do this.. and I probably wont get any response for my achievement... yet putting the effort in means you care more anyway... RIGHT!! Ha Ha..

Apr. 12, 2007 at 2:17 PM Give it some time.  Don't worry about mascara.  Your husband wont look that close anyway!!!   After having four kids and trying after each one to impress my hubby, I fanally realized that he has seen me in worse condition (like durring child birth) and that if I at least comb my hair and brush my teeth, that should be good enough!!

Apr. 12, 2007 at 2:20 PM Yes good luck! Hope it works out for you. In fact do me a favor and toss on a little lip gloss for those of us not even bothering to get dressed. I have two weeks left before the baby is born and getting dressed and 'fixing' my hair is WAYYYYYY over rated at this point. He is lucky I'm out of bed much less looking 'presentable'.

i know how you feel about the shower.  It gets harder to take one during the mornign or afternoon. Then you try harder on the weekends when you have time to shower they don't say a word when you do look nice. 

I get so tired of not getting the respect from the men.

That's cute. I make sure I shower before my DH leaves for work. For whatever reason, I don't get anything done unless I have showered and put on some half way decent looking clothes. One time I had to pick up my older one from school bc she was sick. I was in my PJ's and the little one was a complete mess. I told the nurse, I'm coming but it will take awhile. I think they thought, "what the heck does she have to do, she's home?" Don't they know how long it takes to get dressed?

 I was so use to throwing my coat over any shirt to get my daughter on and off the bus. One time I met a newer friend at the library. I took off my coat and had on a white tshirt with dress pants. I forgot to change my top!!! I was so embarrased!! This mommy was a lawyer too.
