I've been having some difficulty looking in the mirror lately. I am NOT aging gracefully.
The bags under my eyes are huge. I find myself fantasizing over the day when both my kids are teenagers and won't wake up even if a fog horn goes off in their rooms...I'll be snoring away with them!
Where did all these wrinkles come from? I've never been a fan of the face lift, but I'm starting to think I'll need one by the age of 40. A boob lift would be nice, too.
And who the heck invented those little miniature candy-bars? I'm having trouble reminding myself to stop at 10. Result: cellulite. Big time. Darn you, Mars & Co!
I haven't gotten a hair cut in 6 months. Just call me Frizzy Head. I don't curl my hair anymore, or even wash it every day, for that matter.
What is wrong with me? I should be happy to have two healthy children, a happy marriage and a lifestyle I never dreamed of.
I'll admit it: it all boils down to plain 'ole vanity. Maybe in a few days I'll look in the mirror and see myself in a new light. But for now, I'm just a wrinkly, puffy, frizzy, jiggly mess. Blegh! :(
OK, I'm done now.
I think that's just life with an infant. You'll look and feel better once Ryan gets a bit older and you have more time to spend on yourself.
ReplyDeleteI tell Kim daily that I might look like I am 60 by the time I hit forty. Years of sleep deprivation will do that to you! He still is vetoing botox...
ReplyDeleteYou'll always be beautiful honey bunny!
ReplyDeleteI think that every woman with children feels this way from time to time. I don't think that there is a magic trick that can make you feel better about yourself.... it will come though. You are so beautiful! Someone once told me that raising children is the most important thing that I will ever do in life. After I heard that, I felt better about the sleep deprevation and the saggy belly. Not that I'm not saving up for a tummy tuck in a few years ;)
