Feeling...Well not so pretty!

These days I don't feel all that girly. I use to have to dress up everyday to go to work wearing a dress and make-up. These days I wear a dress and make-up to church. It is my one time to get dressed up and feel girly. Why don't I dress up and feel girly you ask...I will tell you why.
I don't put on nice clothes during the day because by the end of the day I am covered in baby food that Gunnar thinks is funny to spit out when I feed him or dirt from Mack giving me a huge hug after he has played in the dirt all day. Stains from changing diapers, or spit up from Gunnar. So I dress in t-shirts and shorts that I don't care if they get dirty.
Make-up...I don't put it on because as I try to put it on Mack is there playing with it and it ends up on the floor, the walls, on my shirt, or on his face. Instead of taking 5 minutes to put on it takes 1/2 hour and another 1/2 hour to clean up the mess.
My shoes...I wear socks and gym shoes daily. Hence my farmer tan that all can see at church. I don't wear flip flops or cute sandles for two reasons. One, I can't run fast in these shoes to catch Mack when he starts to run away from me. Second, because my toes get stepped on lots during the day from Mack when he wants to wrestle with me or wants to hold me. Gunnar also wants to suck my toes...gross.
Jewelery, forget it. It ends up in Gunnars mouth or broken.
My hair...that is all together another story. I mostly wear a pony tail. Takes to long to try and curl it, keeps Gunnar from pulling my hair, and keeps me cool since it is summer.
There you go. So for the next few years, until my kiddos are grown and in school and I am forced to work again and forced to get all girly up..this is what I look like. A mother with two small kids.
