I used to be that girl

That girl who loved and enjoyed:
-putting make up everyday (foundation and eye liner)
-blow dry my hair after each wash and occasionally straighten them
-dress up nicely for work
-go shopping on a weekday just because I could
-wear heels everyday
-wear sweats only to the gym and around the house with a matching top
-got mani and pedi every two weeks

And now since our little princess arrived, I feel like a totally different person. I just don't have enough time for myself anymore.

Let's see how it all changed:
-I still try to put make up everyday, especially since I returned to work. when I stayed at home with Ariela, I didn't have time nor strength for make-up.
-Blow dryer, what is that? Seriously, I forgot I had one.
-Yeah, so about that. Since I still can't fit into everything and haven't bought myself any new pair of pants (for motivation to loose weight), I can only fit into two pairs of jeans. Also, my closet is now in Ariela's room. I know, I know... our house is roomy but it definitely doesn't have enough closets. So, I have to prepare my clothes from the night before and honestly it is been pretty easy since I really can't wear a lot with jeans.
-Shopping...let's just skip that painful subject right now. I am waiting till I can fit into my regular size 2-4 pants. Plus, I am always in a hurry to get home so my mom can get some rest and go home.
-For the last two months, all I wore were sneakers. I started wearing little heels to work but nothing comparing to what I wore before. I am afraid I'll loose balance caring my bag, my lunch, and my pump.
-Again, for the last couple of months that is all.i.wore. I can't imagine my life without them now. I would start the day with a matching top but then I would need to change my tops a few times per day because of the spit ups and other fun spills.
-I did manage to escape out of the house for mani and pedi just once before New Years. That is right, if you can't count, I haven't done them in almost two months. I try not to look at my toes and it is easy now since I wear socks all the time in this weather. But my hands is a totally different story. I always try to hide them when I am around people. I am noticing people staring at my nails at work. Maybe, just maybe I am being paranoid. But all of the girls at work used to compliment me on my nails before and now they probably think I turned into that Mom who doesn't take care of herself. But that is a story for another blog post.
