Once upon a time I wore make up and did my hair. I'm home alone and bored so I was looking through the pictures on my computer. I came across this picture and thought, "when was the last time I actually put more than five minutes into how I look?" I used to love putting on make up and doing my hair. I don't think I've done my hair since easter, and I think I forgot how to put make up on. This seems like a waste since I own ALOT of expensive make up and I used to actually know how to put it on and play with the colors. Not only that but I actually felt like doing it. I definitely don't feel like doing it right now but after the baby is born I'm going to try. Maybe then I won't avoid the camera because I have bags under my eyes and frizzy hair! I think it's going to make me feel better which will in turn make my children happier. I wish I knew how some women can have clean houses, kids, and look good daily, especially sunday morning! Anyway this was just a thought I had, it's what happens when I'm bored late at night!

oh...NICOLE...i know you now! haha...but actually I do remember you looking this way. I personally am a makeup lover. Yes, sadly all that you want to accomplish can be accomplished IF you get up earlier than you want and make it a habit. I've been getting up at 5am forever. And I'm tired at first but at least I'm up, dressed, made up before the rest of the family really got going. and everyone becomes happier. Go for the makeup now, before baby girl arrives...cuz she's gonna need your makeup expertise some day....by the way...It's Sunday and I'm still up at 5am. I'm insane.
I am just discovering the bizarre concept that Susan mentioned: getting up before your kids. For 5 years I would roll about out bed only when the kids woke. But I'm working on the habit of getting up before them and it helps me feel much happier. Even if it's only 15 minutes earlier it helps me think through daily tasks and more importantly to get a grip on my mood so I can greet my babies with a smiling face and in turn put one on theirs. Makes for much better days. Oh, and you are so gorgeous in the picture!
Cole! I love you tons and tons, you are so beautiful and gorgeous, even without makeup and frizzy hair. And if you ever think you are not looking your best, think of the picture your mom has of us after playing in the snow. Now that is a rough one! P.s. I still think you should steal it and destroy it!!
