I remember years ago before kids that I would wash my hair everyday. I would shave my legs every other day. I would shower at least once a day....
Now I try to go as many days as possible without washing my hair. My legs get shaved once a week, if that. And I try to shower almost every day but sometimes I dont have the energy for that. If I've been home all day and have not sweat that much then I can talk my way out of taking a shower that night finding other things to do instead.
There have been times where I've gone out in public without deoderent because I forgot about it, it's happened to often that now I carry it in my purse. Sometimes I get so busy I forget to change my underwear in the morning. And sometimes I spray in some no wash conditioner to get an extra day or two wear out of my hair. My priorities are different now then they once were. I have started letting my eyebrows grow out because I would forget to pluck them for days and they would look crazy.
I don't know if this is something every mom goes through but sometimes you just get to busy to focus on yourself. Yoga pants are my best friend, when I go out in shorts I used to wear I feel like a hooch... it doesnt stop me from wearing them though. I sometimes spray perfume because I know it will be a while before I get to put deoderent on again so it's to cover up the smell in case my deoderent wears off.
Looking at all of this I sound like a really sad person. Maybe this is part of why I'm depressed sometimes but mostly I am just trying to do what I can to make it through the day. I know I should prioritize better and make more time for myself and I'm working on that but sometimes I like to just remember the days when none of this was actually a problem...
