I just think that I used to put my make up on and get dressed for work every morning so why shouldn't I do the same now? I still work, after a fashion, and it makes me feel prepared for whatever the day is going to bring! I hope all the mums out there find some time for themselves each day. It reminds you that your not just a mum, but a person in your own right! Jen xxx Its astounding what 5 minutes to yourself can do to isn’t it.

I was hoping that feeling subsides but from what you've said I guess its a little harder than that. We must try as we can't spend the rest of our days mourning the past. Don't you just feel like a more mumsy version of yourself sometimes? Its like there are two me's; one for my baby and then one for my partner. So emotionally confusing!

I haven't got the time to wash my own clothes these days, let alone do a full top to toe! How do mum's with more than one kid do it? Happy New year!

It's amazing when we moms actually take a few minutes for ourselves how outstanding we feel. This improvement helps everything, stress, sex life & dealing with those kids. You end up feeling like a proud momma vs a haggled crusty one & then you do appriciate being a mom. It's always easier said than done though, best of luck in '09! Amen!!

I hope you can stick with it. I especially love #7. Playgroups and other mommy/baby events are total fashion shows. Good for you for saying no. That sounds like a fantastic plan.
