(Yeah! Date night! In honor of such a rare occurence, I will re-post one of my very first Mammatalk posts, Mommy Primping.)
I remember when I was an unfettered maiden, free of children and matrimony, 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 deodorant
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.

LOL! I thought I was the only one who borrowed Hubby's deodorant from time to time when necessary.... :D
Enjoy your date night! We're having our traditional "date night" here: watching a DVD and eating ice cream on the couch.
Okay, sometimes we go totally crazy and have popcorn instead of ice cream, but don't let our wildness fool ya, we're still asleep well before SNL comes on... That's what the DVR is for, after all! Hee!
What a funny post. I should just do a copy and paste and put it on my blog.
When my Husband and I go out by ourselves, I will put on make up and do my hair. Even, if it is shopping.
I sometimes miss making myself look nice.
Awesome list! Hope you have fun on your date night! Say hi to everybody for me!
Yes! Let's all stay home and reeee-laaaax. Ahhh...

LOL I remember those days...thankfully they are in the distant past.
Haha...Umm I don't have children and I still do some of that stuff! Don't judge! :)
So funny and true. Ah, nothing like rating your nursing bra smell from 1 to 10. I remember those days...it wasn't so long ago that I was doing the same thing.
I have a NB, a 17 mon old, and a 7 year old. There are times in a day when all of them are crying and I feel like I've totally lost touch with reality! Then I cry with them! lol
Im relieved to hear somebody else lives a stressful life and Im not all the way crazy...yet anyway :)
There should be a spot in the
Olympics for 'Speed Showering' I swear
Oh girl, that is so grossing me out.
Banana clips were so out of style even when they were in style!
OK, the nursing bra sniff test made me laugh out loud! Oh, we poor, dirty moms! When my alarm goes off, I spend 5 mins debating on whether it needs to be a "take a shower day." Hhhhmmmm...who am I going to see today? 2nd grade teacher? Nah, no shower. Hair in ponytail with headband and big sunglasses. Good to go.
This sounds like me!!! I'm lucky to get a shower every 3rd day. Congrats on being the featured blog on SITS! Your one funny mamma!
