I remember when I was an unfettered maiden, free of children and martimony, singing to my animal friends in the forest....I spent hours gazing at my loveliness in the mirror brushing my silken locks, applying lipstick and primping for dates. I would try and re-try on my new outfits, many still with tags. Should I wear strappy sandals, boots or my mules? Should I carry a clutch, an over the shoulder purse, or oversized handbag? Skirt or little black number? Blouse or tank? Sinfully skin tight low rider jeans or capris? And if we were past magic date #3 ...ahem, I mean...date #10, thong or bikini? Perfume or all body splash? Should I wear the matching lotion? Should my hair be adorned with sparkly clips, captured by a tortoiseshell clip or worn free and loose, blown dried, moused, dyed and spritzed? Taupe eyeshadow or black eyeliner? Both? Oh, you nasty vixen. Lipgloss or lip liner? Matte lipstick? Should my nails be French tipped or natural? The pearls or gold chain? Oh, the choices. So many details and so much time to gloriously decide....
As for today? I still primp....
1. Hair in banana clip ( why did these ever go out of style?)
2. Stretch pants retrieved from dirty clothes hamper.
3. Clean shirt taken from bottom of clean clothes basket.
4. Shirt thrown in dryer for 2 minutes to get rid of wrinkles.
5. Sniff arm pits
6. Quick pit wash with wet wash cloth
7. Can't find deodarant
8. Use hubby's Speed Stick
9. Sniff nursing bra
10. Rate its stinkiness from 1-10
11. Baby crying.
12. Get baby wearing only bra and pants.
13. Nurse baby
14. Can't remember where shirt is.
15. Decide not to worry about it.
16. Not leaving house today anyway.
Ahh, the luxuries of a Stay at Home Queen!

Thank you so much for signing up to be a follower on my blog! I didn't even know how that feature worked, so it was a double-bonus for me and now you are my first official follower.
My blog is very new and I am still trying to figure out how to grow my readership. My family and friends have been really positive, but they HAVE to love it. It will be great to get followers that I have never met because then I will know that the material is good.
I'll be listing your blog on my site under "favorites." I've been reading today and really enjoying it.
Thanks again,
Lisa (Five of Nine)
Your blogs make me laugh...even though I know nothing about motherhood. I'll guess I'll store these insights away in case I ever have a little munchkin running around. Although...nursing school has taken it's toll on my primping time:) Maybe nursing school should be equated to a small child...although school doesn't cry or scream it just makes me do that on my own.
Thanks, Caron and Lisa. You both are two funny ladies!
I hear ya! That is so me now... I do get a chance to dress up every once in a while...lol
