Mom-Me and Me

Let's redefine Mommy and me.

There's the Mom-me...

So I've gotten the hang of this mommy thing. I can pack baby's diaper bag in a flash and change his diaper one handed. I can mix his formula in the car while we off-road and I can carry my big baby, who's already practically half my size, in my arms for longer than Paris' jail sentence. So as a mom-me, I'm cool.

Then there's the me-me...

But as a "me-me", I don't know what's going on. There just really isn't any time to focus on me nowadays. Just the other day, I was all good getting everything ready for baby since we were making an unexpected outing, and then as I was in the car driving, I realized I still had on my house slippers! Yikes! But there really was no time to turn back. Let us give thanks and praise for two things. 1)Thank goodness I wasn't heading to a formal event. And as for my outfit, well lets just say that the slippers added a casual look to it. 2)Thank goodness it wasn't my fuzzy bunny slippers. Other than the hubby's endless teasing, no harm done.

And then all of a sudden, I also realized my hair has reached an unacceptable length! I've always had long hair - but this is like Rapunzel-style. I'm straight ready to let my hair out the window for someone to climb it (but I live in a one story house as opposed to a tower of a castle - so that might not work out). How did it get this long? So I've booked the hair appointment and more importantly, I also booked the freelance gig that will pay for my hair appointment.

I'm back to my pre-preggo weight, but its just not what it used to be folks. I'm not toned, it's jello. I have the annual Nike Run Hit Remix this weekend, and I have not trained for it one bit. Before I used to think my nephew couldn't keep up with me even though he beat me twice, and now I'm just hoping I can keep up with my 10 year old niece! or even my MOM!

So as a mom-me, I'm definitely getting the hang of it.

As for me-me, I'm just trying to hang in there.
