I'm not that mom

I can't help but notice every time that I'm out and about, I see women/mothers who look like they are all put together. Their hair is done, make-up on, cute outfits etc. I am constantly asking myself, where do they find the time to do all of that? Obviously, they must make it a priority. I am not saying that I am a disheveled mess every time I go out, but I most certainly do not put emphasis on my appearance like that. I'm lucky if I have the three of us dressed and out of pajamas...
I would say there are maybe 3-4 times a year where I do get "dolled" up. This would occur on special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, and maybe our anniversary. Even then, I would consider getting "dolled up" to include blow drying my hair instead of air drying, maybe even using a curling iron (wow, lets not get carried away right?), curling my eyelashes and applying cover up/makeup. Then I would wear an outfit which only took me 2 hours to decide on after trying on countless options. I know what you're thinking now...HOLY COW Where did she come from?? 
So lets say on an average day, I shower, comb out my hair, get dressed, and then pull my hair back. Get the kids dressed and head out. Not much thought really goes into my appearance. So today, I am thankful for
that. Thank the bitty's who keep me from spending too much time on how I look ;-)
