Maintenance Once You're A Mama

So before I had a baby…I could easily go to get a mani/pedi, my hair did, my waxing, etc.

Now…its as if the last thing in the world that needs to get done is anything for me.

I need a haircut - badly. My highlight roots have grown out. The last time I did anything for myself was a week before I had the baby.

I mean…how are you all looking so wonderful? I have so much guilt…how do you all manage the guilt of spending a second away from baby? Especially as a working mom when you’re already away for a good part of the day?

Once a month, one day for me. Its actually tiring and lots of work to get mani/pedi/waxing in one shot but very much needed.

And I'm queen of lunch time errands.
One day I'll get a manicure, the next a pedicure, the following day my eyebrows.

I think it may be that you have such a small child; I was just like you when my boys were younger. But in time I've come to realize that I have a certain responsbility to myself and my husband as well. Besides, a sloppy amma is teaching my kid that its okay to let things slide.

Lots of pressure right?

^ Soooooo true. We don’t want kids growing up thinking its okay to be sloppy.

I think I’ll go look for a Groupon now…:sigh:

I’m girly, so “me” time is important and I guess it helps when your hubby isn’t scared of taking care of the kids on his own :smiley: My motto is simple .. “me” time means happy mama, and happy mama means happy kids and happy kids mean happy dad cause he won’t have to hear about how much *his *(they are all his then :halo: ) kids ate my head :smiley:
