As I was sitting on the couch with JBean the other night, Master P uttered those dreadful words. "You're really letting yourself go lately".
My first reaction was to jump up and knock the every living shit out of him. After giving him the look of death, he elaborated for me.
...And I (even though I'll never tell him this) decided he's right.
The reasons he sited are as follows:
1: "Your hair has been super frizzy lately". Well I have to say, I one up a lot of new mom's that I know, where I shower daily, in the morning. So many people told me I wouldn't have time for a shower after JBean arrived, but that isn't acceptable to me. I need to feel squeaky clean. Now, where I may be able to shower, I don't always have time to blow dry my hair... hence it being frizz-alicious. (If you know anything about New England summers, you know that it gets ridiculously humid... to the point where you break a sweat running outside to get the mail. Dislike).
2: "Your feet aren't looking as cute as they used to". Le sigh. Before being pregnant, and all throughout my pregnancy, I got a pedi every two to three weeks. Eight weeks post-partum, and I haven't had one since my due date (which was May 18... JBean didn't show up until the 27th). Now don't get me wrong, my toe nails don't look like this lady's; but they aren't perfectly painted either.
3. "You haven't been wearing much make up". Yeah, cuz JBean and the cat really care if I have eyeliner on. Ridiculous.
Anyway, I guess the point of this, is I don't have as much time as I used to -- and maybe I'm not as cute as I was before JBean but I think she makes up for my lack of cuteness. :)
Ewww those toenails are nasty!!!
ReplyDeleteThankfully whenever I pop out a kid my husband won't expect too much. I don't do my hair and makeup too often (mainly on the weekends) and I paint my own toenails. :-)
I think that would have been my first reaction, too. Don't worry, mine is 4 months old and I still don't always get time to blow dry my hair or put on makeup.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog through Jillybee Momma. I'm loving it!
My husband once said when we were dating, "face it, we've both let ourselves go." However, at the time I was going to the gym daily and running. I gave him a boat load of sh*t and made sure to quote him to all our friends. He still hasn't lived it down.
ReplyDeleteI think you deserve a pedicure...given by him ;)
You'll both be happy to know that I found time to paint my toes, blow dry my hair AND put on make up today. JBeanie had a longer than usual nap and my house is squeaky clean since we have visitors coming over tonight. Score 1 for Mama D. :)
ReplyDeletePS: I failed to mention I don't always have time to shave both legs. I say that because sometimes JBean will flip out when I'm in the shower -- once I even got out the shampoo still in my hair. True story.

ReplyDeleteI think a pedi is the last thing Master P would do (but he should pay for me to get one). One time he painted my fingernails (and I'm sure he'd kill me if he knew I was telling people about this). He did model cars when he was a kid so he was super good at painting them too.
