Back when I had only one child, I got up early, took a few naps, showered, dressed, put on makeup and styled my hair every day. I exercised, I went on walks, I tried to look put together whenever I was in public and always by the time my husband came home.
Then I had two kids. I still got dressed and ready each morning. I continued to style my hair and put on makeup each day. I never went out in public without looking appropriate and tasteful.
Now I have three. Two are in school and my youngest is almost four. Life is easier. There are only a few late night issues and everyone goes to bed. And now I drop my kids at school, in my pajamas (at 8:20), I eventually change into either workout clothes or I upgrade to a different pair of sweats...that I did not wear to bed, my hair is pulled back in a ponytail, and no makeup graces my face.
What has happened? Now there are days I even go to the grocery store without the necessary shower and styling session. Have I let myself go? Or have I found that there are more important things to accomplish than satisfying my vanity?
I’m not sure, but this morning sleep beckoned me and everything else had to wait.

I've also been pondering this very thought. When i don't have work or church...I have a really hard time getting ready. I love work out clothes, and I love comfort! I say as long as we still know how to dress up and look hot...we're a ok!
I have been living this senario for quite some time(years and years). I always had a reason for my hair and makeup not being done (my hair is so thick it takes forever to do). Two weeks ago I got my hair straightened and now I have no reason not to look put together. I can just wash and go, so now I make sure I am doing my makeup and I even went and bought some new clothes so I can look put together. I must say that I feel much better! :) (It may not last that long but I am hoping to make it a habit.
