the mom who let herself go....

i am so that mom....

i said i would never be that mom...

i'm the wife that wears sweats {almost daily}

that can't seem to find the time to shower AND put make up on

the mom who drives thru dunkin' for her morning coffee in her big huge pink fluffy bathrobe and the mom that shows up to pick up my son at preschool in my slippers

the friend who now shows up at girls dinners in flats instead of heels

and can't spend an hour obsessing over what i should wear

why?

because i have three of the cutest kids ever that i'm the mom of....

so, i guess, if i'm THAT mom...

if I'm being honest, I went to bed after writing what is above! I couldn't figure out how to end that




Do I say if I'm THAT mom, it's ok... 




because I have three little blessings that I get to spend my days with

{which should already be a given}

Or

because its only a season 

{which is also true}




I was going to end it on a note like it was a good thing. But when I got into bed, I started to cry! It finally hit me... 




I AM THAT MOM




I'm sure lots of mom's feel this way. You've either gained weight (which I literally can not wear my wedding ring without it cutting off my circulation, lol, funny but not funny), your wardrobe is not up to date, your hair has some major regrowth that needs touched up,or we just are so wrapped up in our kids we forget about ourselves.




I think part of being a great mom is getting time to ourselves! 

When I've had no "breaks" from the kids I get fried and might be more short tempered with them and i am just frazzled!




Shawn asked me what he could do for me tonight and I said that i'd like to work out 3 times a week, and I want to spend my Christmas gift cards to update my wardrobe a bit this weekend :)




Schedule time for yourself to do something that makes you feel good about yourself! If its getting your nails done every week , do it and don't feel guilty about it! You deserve it! Maybe tell your husband you need 30 minutes a day to go to your room and eat a candy bar, lol, or read, or nap...do it!!!




 make time to celebrate you and the great mom you are




P.S  some days i still may not have time to put make-up on,I still may drive around townin my robe  to get coffee from time to time,or we might wear our pj's all day, but I'm just going to try not to do that everyday! Haha 

a make-up less day with the babe
