Mom Hair

I had also heard that moms tend to put their looks on the back burner as they become so devoted to caring for everyone else.  SO TRUE.  I feel like I have sat here and bitched about my hair for the last few weeks, which I thought to be the cause of me feeling like a frumpy dumpy ever since my baby came screaming into this world.  The hair is an underlying issue that comes to a head when we go on to think that I really don't have any need to get dressed in the morning.  Well, at least out of my jammies.  Noah doesn't care what I am wearing, my poor husband has probably given up on me, and I feel that the general public tends to roll out of the house to Kroger in sweatpants too, so why shant I? When you are not putting yourself on stage for the public to see, there is little need to pull out extravagant routines into looking good. 
But the hair was a major stalemate.   I think my hair was back 6 out of 7 days last week, as it was about 10 inches too long and a great pull toy for my little one's new found coordination.  So I did it.  I drug myself to my hairstylist and nervously let her cut 7 inches off.  Thank god she is a sweetheart and did it in 3 inch increments so I could test out the waters.  I am now one that can be lumped in with other moms as "I knew she would cut her hair when the baby came" type of gal.  I had crazy visions that a haircut would be one that would look styled fresh off the pillow and that would propel me into looking like the cute hip moms you see in Baby Gap.  Not so much.  Now I have my hair back with bangs still sticking out in ridiculous angles but the ponytail is much shorter now.  I am still frequenting my workout clothes as daily attire and am lucky if I have time to thoroughly wash my face everyday. I think I have been watching too much What Not to Wear in hopes that style ideas will attach to me, or in hopes that secret footage is just around the corner.
