I was talking to my girlfriend today and laughed when she said, "Areeba, have you noticed that everyone around us with more than one kid just looks jacked up, tired, confused, out of gas". LOL! I cracked up! She is so right. I run into so many people these days and think to myself..damn, you surely are not the diva that you used to be before kids. I am not trying to be mean, trust me! I am one of these diva-less moms. We run into each other at parties and notice how our mascara is sweaty, our hair gets bushy, our clothes are no longer crisp as they used to be. We spend less time talking and more time looking for our kid's lost pacifiers and sippy cups.
So what do we do as overwhelmed moms. I guess we do nothing. We just enjoy each phase of raising our kids and realize that eventually we will have time to enjoy mommy date nights, enjoy late night dinners with no only our friends, husbands, but even our grown kids who will be able to share a great laugh with us.
Seriously, it's so true! I never have thought of myself as a "diva" BUT now many times I just don't want to put any effort in. By the time I am finished with getting the kids ready, I am tired and just need to get to where ever I am suppose to be on time. Thank God, I have a husband who will ask me "are you seriously walking out the house looking like that?". At the moment I might mind the honesty but I am always thankful later.
ReplyDeleteEventually (or so I'm told)the kids will start doing more and more and then you will be back to your old Diva self. Just don't know when that will be...LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up Raakhi! I truly have to remind myself that I may be repeating clothes and therefore should run back and change!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Susan! I may have to live my Diva years through my daughters.
So true, Areeba!! My husband now calls me the "Sweat Suit Pimp." No nice clothes for me. Or they will be instantly covered in some kind of booger-toejam-playdough-peanut butter-goo that looks very much like poop and smells like it too.
ReplyDeleteLove the title "Sweat Suit Pimp"..Whats funny is how I try so hard to pimp up my ghetto look. I have the nerve to have the ugliest clothes on but have the nerve to put on some mascara and lipstick!
