I AM IN A ...

New mommy funk.

Yea, that's right. I said it. I am in a funk. I am not affraid to admit it. I am only human.

I love my little girl. I do. With all my heart. I could not imagine a life without her and her sweet smile.

But in the mist of being a mommy and taking care of my little one (which I love)

 I feel like I forgot to take care of myself in the mist of frantically figuring out how to care for a baby and not to screwing it up!

I can go weeks without putting on make up (which is great for my skin but not so great for the people who have to look at my face aka. husband)

I sometimes go days without actually getting dressed. (example: I wear a baggy t-shirts and wear Mr. G's shorts with my hair in a bun )

It's a form of birth control, I swear.
 Ok, that is a lie. It's not, but you think it would be right?
(We will leave that comment right where it is) 

Mr. G is lucky if I remember to shave my legs or wash my hair! ( insert ewwww *here* )
 Don't worry I do brush my teeth! ( insert a whew *here*)

When I was in California last week. I went out for a girls night.

 I did my hair *gasp*, put make up on *gasp*
 I got all dolled up like I used to waayyyy back when....
Wayyyy back like a year ago. hahahah. I know. I know.  I am so funny.

Anyways, that is when I sorta realized I was losing a part of myself that I do not technically want to lose.

Call it the vanity of a so cal girl if you want, but I want to look nice and presentable. So my husband can be proud when he says "yup, thats my wife!"

 Especially in this town of Boiling Springs with a population total of 200 people.
 You are going to run into people you know or people who know who you are. And I am tired of being asked if I am a student. Ya, its that bad. Believe me now?

So, from here on in addition to this 30 day challenge, I will...Put some make up on! Do my hair! Put some clothes on!( I make it sound like I run around in my birthday suite don't I? I assure you I don't, its not a good look .I guess I should say get dressed everyday. whatevs you get the picture)

I think it will help me with my funk and help me feel like I am still me, Mr. G's wife AND Miss P's mama, I am just going to look cute while I do it! Can I get a AMEN?!

Here is to shaving legs and washing your hair!
