Confessions Of a Busy Mom
December 22, 2011 skin care No CommentsI do not regret being a mother. My kids are my life. But sometimes I miss the things I used to do way back when I was single. I had no responsibilities except to pay for my phone bill. I did not even pay rent and utilities since I live with mom and dad. My car was given to me as a college gift by my grandma. I would shop clothes and shoes with my paycheck every week. The day spa was my twice a month routine. Everything was ready and provided for me.
After having kids my life totally changed. My husband and kids became my lifestyle and the only job I had. I was taking care of my home and all these years I believed that my husband in sync with me, but I was mistaken. After 10 years being together he left me and kids for a younger girl. When his sister came to visited me, she told me about the reason of our divorce. He left me because I always looked so tired and worn out. I couldn’t believe it! He left me because of my look? But I was taking care of his kids and home!
Is this familiar? At one point in our lives, we do not care about our physical appearance. We automatically assume that once we get married and have kids – it’s ok to look frumpy and worn out. “I have kids to tend to. I do house chores. Is it necessary for me to look good even if it is so draining to manage a home and a family full time?” The answer to that is YES. You are not making yourself beautiful for other people or for your husband – you are doing that for yourself. You have to keep the sexiness flowing and the self-esteem pumped; for your benefit.
We have to schedule time for ourselves and have a little bit of fun. We have to do things that make us happy, first of all. Yes, we are mothers and wives, but also we are women! We have to dedicate personal time off as individuals. Just manage your time and go back to a day spa again.
What is in a day spa? You can get a facial; have your body hairs waxed or ask for an aromatherapy massage to relax your body. Some women try to do these at home and it ends up disastrous. It is much more fulfilling to have someone attend to your needs – it doesn’t always have to be you. It is also a must to have a specialist do these treatments for you to achieve only the best end results.
Take care our-yourself and never forget to do it. Make is your first priority. Busy moms are supper moms and they always can find time to manage family, work and personal appearance. Be beautiful and do more!
