There are times where I read or hear about the limits a mom crosses when lack of time is a factor. Missing a shower, skipping a meal, staying in pajamas two days in a row, brushing of the teeth is seen as luxury, etc…

We know we have missed all of the above at least once in our journey as parents. We know our partners are awesome when they still call us sexy or beautiful and give us a kiss after seeing us in such a messy situation. We know we are great, despite some days feeling down for not looking at our best and we know that rising a baby is so worth our stinkiness.

But there are times that I still wonder why in hell do I smell that bad? I mean, for only one day I miss a shower and I smell like a construction guy on a very hot day and humid kind of weather. I don’t feel like I do much, other than keeping the little one alive, playing here and there. Maybe go out, but come on! It’s not like I lose pounds by strolling around and it doesn’t even qualify as a sweat work out either. So that’s not it.

I feel like I could have flies all around my beautiful body, and I fear that one day, one day hubs is going to find us that way, me and kiddo together with flies all above our heads. Gulp!

I need a shower plan pronto.

P.S. I think I need clean clothes too. Damn.
