Secret Mommy-hood Confession Saturday
I miss sharing me here so I figured I join in on the fun:
*What sacrifices have you made since becoming a parent?
Ha! That list is so bloody long…
And it’s not even since becoming a parent, it’s since becoming a parent of toddlers AGAIN.
When the teens were toddlers, I was in my early 20s and really had no life outside of them and work. Probably cause I had no money. ha!
As the girls got older and I became the smancy fancy color guru, things changed.
I had a wicked salary.
I had GNOs.
Hubby and I would head out to Josie’s Pub on Waverly place to shoot pool and drink.
I got my nails done.
I got my eyebrows done.
I got my hair done twice a fugging week.
I shopped for me and my girls from hardcover books at B&N to at least one new outfit for me once a month.
I had a bloody iPhone.
Now I’m in my 30s.
I’ve got two more toddlers now.
I’ve got no bloody time to do anything alone.
I’m lucky I had two pedicures last summer.
Don’t you dare ask about the caterpillars above my eyes.I may have to start feeding them.
Hairdresser? What the hell is that? Don’t remember.
I don’t know when the hell I last had a GNO, had to be before the kids were born.
Nights out with hubby? Big bloody laugh. That’s never gonna happen for at least the next 4 years.
Also, I haven’t seen the inside of a barnes and noble in ages.
*How do you sneak away when you just want to take a shower by yourself?
Sorry to tell you this girl, but I’ve always showered by myself (well when hubby’s not joining me)
I shower at midnight or 4 am, because there will be no little buggers in the bathroom with me, calling my boobies bellies and counting them for me.
How do I make up for the things I’ve sacrificed?
Hubby and I had to start getting a room every other Saturday just to have time alone. A room during the day, because we have to be home at night. No more nights shooting pool. No more nights at the bar with friends. But at least we have quiet time and us time.
Had to buy the instyler and lose out on those wicked scalp massages my hairdresser would give.
Thank god the teens are old enough to read what I read and I just buy nook books and synced all their iPods to my accounts. Hardcover? Ha!
I’m sacrificing…but it’s worth it.
So my mommyhood confession is, i have a battery operated hairdresser, i read less smutty supernatural fantasy then i use to and i have sex with hubby in strange beds every other week.
Check out Kim’s blog for other great confessions.
Geez can I relate. Like you showers had been alone up until the hubs left us while he was on training and I seriously had no choice but to bring them into the bathroom w me and have them sit in a corner playing toys while mommy got a much needed bath midnight and 4 am just werent options. I miss the days where we jumped in the car and just explored where budgeting wasn’t in our vocabulary now were lucky to go to the movies 3 times a year

what’s really bloody sad is i don’t have the budget constraints anymore (thanks to the blog)i mean, that’s why i got rid of the iPhone initially cause it didn’t fit our budget anymore, but the blog’s done good this past year. it’s the time i don’t have. even as i reply now, i’ve got an ankle biter biting my bloody ankle because she wants to sit in my lap.
not having family of my own i have no one to “watch” them while i do stuff and hubby refuses to ask his family and since i’ve moved to the bronx i haven’t had one freakin nice neighbor that i’ve had the chance to get to know. not to mention all my girlfriends have lives with their new or fairly new hubbies, there’s no way i’m going to terrify them out of having kids by leaving them with my toddlers. lol

Oh mama! I feel for you. But good for you and hubby for sneaking away for alone time at a motel. You do what you gotta do, and I’m sure it’s relaxing. I’m glad I found ya!

Jennifer! Thanks for dropping by sugar. we moms of potty training boys and hater of pull-ups gotta stick together! lol
i can honestly say it’s added spice to our marriage and is prolonging the honeymoon. lol
You’re right…it’s all worth it. The lack of showers, the extra weight, the company in the bathroom…I wouldn’t have it any other way. Well, except the extra weight…ya, gotta get rid of that.
Visiting from Kimberly’s linkup!

Girls Night Out…yeah i barely remember those too. i’ve got bits and pieces in my head of lots of drinks, women laughing and cute bartenders
Very entertaining read Vanita! Laughing about the boobies/bellies – my kids think my body is hilarious – usually not in the mood for that either! Those beautiful little faces – make it all worth it! Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Happy Mother’s day to you too Ann, everyday! Kids…the things that come out of their mouth. my son now for who knows what reason, no longer announces that he has to pee, now he announces that his pee-pee is big, which means he has to pee. lots of fun when he says it at the supermarket.
