A sad realization.... :)

[SqueakersMommy]

Okay, so this afternoon I was folding a load of Zeke's laundry, and as I was pressing out all the wrinkles and searching for any missed stains I found myself admiring his very cute, very stylish wardrobe. Last week I had pulled down the last of he's 9-18 month clothes I had packed away from his baby shower, so most of what I was folding was new.  As I continued folding I realized something that struck me like a ton of bricks, I realized that my 9 month old son dresses better then I do!!!  My 9 month old baby, who could care LESS what he wears, has more style then ME!  Then I started thinking, well of course he does!  Every time I go to the store, I buy him something. Every morning when we wake up, I get him changed and dressed, brush his hair and wash his face.  But what do I do for my self...... NOTHING!  I consider myself lucky if I get a shower everyday, and I never make time for style or primping.  While I think my son deserves more then me, I don't think I should just let myself go. I remember watching "What not to wear" on TLC before I had Zeke, and it was about a mom who had totally lost all her personal style after she had her 1st baby.  I remember thinking that I never wanted to be like that, I never wanted to stop caring about ME.  Yes my son is my priority, he's my love, and I would gladly (and DO) give up everything to him, but my goodness I need some frinking help.  Does anyone relate?  he,he,he....

Nov. 15, 2007 at 3:24 PM I know how you feel.  It is really hard to not have any time for yourself!  I'm a beauty-product, shoe, and handbag addict and now I feel all out of sorts because I don't have time to care about most of that now.  It is hard because when you don't have kids, you are allowed to be a little bit selfish, but now that is all over and I have to put my daughter's needs before my own.  But realize that as your child becomes more independent and can do things for himself that you will get your personal time back!  Or I certainly hope so :)
