I keep hearing how life is OVER as you know it once you become a mother. How you will never shower again, you'll live in sweatpants, never brush your hair,and let all the rest of it on your body grow wild.......all for the sake of your child. The ultimate in selflessness.
SAY'S WHO????????????????
My mom was a working mom...and was back in her skinny jeans in 3 months. She went right back to being fabulous, because she wanted to. I really believe this whole letting yourself go as soon as you become a mom is a choice. Yes, of course, things will change. I won't have as much time for myself. I may not be able to take 45 minute baths anymore. I never did anyway!
But looking and feeling good about myself, and maintaining some of my old self and identity....absolutely essential if I want to be a good mom.
SO...watch out people...I may need a babysitter once a week for 2-3 hours..so that I can wax myself, go for a coffee..and read a chapter in a book.
Diary of an almost 40 single mom who's trying to figure out this new chapter in life. And yes, I still believe in love. Let the adventure begin......
