I have a pretty horrible case of mom hair. Straggly, dry, broken, limp and up in a messy twist 90% of the time. In all fairness, it's not really my hair's fault. I leave the house without giving it a second thought.
Just yesterday, I was running out the door to a co-working/child care place. A what?! Never mind. It was a public place. A place where I would see other people. Women people. Professional, women people. I was on my way our the door with baby in arms, when I looked down at what I was wearing and thought, "Well, at least I brushed my teeth." Not only were my clothes barely acceptable, I had no make up on and hadn't brushed my hair. It was in the same messy ponytail I whipped up to go from my bed to Calvin's. Seriously, this is how bad it has gotten.
I now have an understanding of all those woman I see at the grocery store in clothes I deemed inappropriate to clean the house in. I understand and am sorry I judged you. I am inappropriate to be in my own presence most of the time.
I fantasize about a fabulous hair-do that requires no effort. The kind of hair that makes up for the fact that I don't have make-up on and there is squash on my shirt. That magical hair is out there somewhere.
maybe something like this...
