Does anyone else feel like this or am I just an eejit..

I had a bit more time today to shower etc, so I used some new body scrub, body butter, shaved my legs for the first time since the king died, washed my hair, etc etc, basically took some time over my appearence...like i did back in the day, before having a shower was a quick scrub down with a brillo pad at the kitchen sink, between nappys and feeding...

and then I thought...why am I bothering? Because I'm going nowhere today, i'm going to see no one except baby, OH, parents etc, and the "clean" effect is somewhat ruined by my jeans, which are a little disreputable atm, to say the least.

and I felt like no one was ever going to fancy me, or find me attractive, ever again. so what was the point in even trying to look good?

which is totally the wrong attitude I know. But still, it's kind of correct isn't it?cause it wasn't like I had hordes of adoring admirers in the first place anyway ansd I didn't particularly care at the time..but it's different now when I know i won't....even though I don't actually want any, I'm perfectly happy with my boyfriend...but it's the principle ofthe thing damnit!

excuse my terrible grammar

It's great when you have the time to take a bit longer getting ready.

I think it's good for you and it just makes you feel so much better
Just wish it happened more often

its nice feeling tho just to have more than a 2 second shower because if like me as soon as u get in LO kicks off so u have to rush to get out i remember last month i heard him wake up and start screaming for me so i dashed out but soon realised i still had coditioner in my hair...

had to get OH's mum to come over so i could go back in the shower...cud u imagine if i had not washed it out

babies....dont we just love them..

before i was a mummy i used to get up when i felt like it and had a longhot shower then spent 30 mins doing my hair...my hair wud love 30 mins spending on it these days

I felt a bit like this the other night.....I shaved my legs too (not a pretty sight at the bottom of the shower ) then when I came out I decided to put fake tan on as my SIL had given me a new one to try from her salon. I was putting it on and just about to look out the mitt for my back and thought 'why the hell am I doing this, no-one is going to see or find me attractive!'. So, I left my back and went to bed then got up the next day and was quite happy that I had a nice glow to me, instead of looking like I'd seen a ghost! I suppose the main reason to do it is to make ourselves feel better - we deserve it! xx

Glad its not just me then...but how NICE does it feel when you do get to dry your hair properly!? I feel so glamorous with my hair all lovely even in sick stained jeans and wet patches on my shirt!
