It has always taken me at least an hour to an hour and a half to get ready. Blame it on me not being a natural beauty. I know, what a shocker. ;) Anyway, I take about 10-15 minutes on minimal makeup, but the most time consuming thing for me is my hair.
I was born with gobs of it and it isn't the kind that is wash and wear. My husband even calls me Bruce Villanch when I let it go natural. Unfortunately, I can't be one of those women that just cuts her hair shorter to save time. If anything, it takes me longer to control it when it is short.
So I have become one of those moms that looks a mess most days and doesn't even get her hair combed. In fact, I'm not even sure I get a glimpse of myself in a mirror until after 9:00 p.m. or so.
My options seem limited. Benjamin, you are just going to have to weather the storm with me by sitting patiently while I dry my hair. I will also try to limit how long it takes me to run a flat iron over it.
Never be one of those moms that says that you will never let yourself go. It happens to the best of us. Even the high maintenance girls like me.
Since I seem to be lagging at blogging lately, I have decided to give myself a challenge at the end of each post. My Challenge for next time will be to blog in a stream of conscienceness manner a la Jack Kerouac. Hard for my readers to read, but kind of neat for a Mommy with not a lot of time.

I'd bet that you would look GREAT with short hair! Some stylist somewhere would LOVE to "make you over into a properly styled 'Mom Cut'"!
As someone with super thick, naturally wavy/curly hair, I feel ya! I too think shorter hair would be hard for me... it'd look more like an afro or a clown wig or something... it's so thick, I think it would just keep poufing outward the shorter it got... That's a lovely thought, isn't it?!
