Being M O M Instead of H O T

First Date with Hubby - 2008
Years and years ago I was a girl who turned heads.  Now I’m not saying I’m ugly now, but once I was one of those girls that guys looked at, hit on, checked out and hooted at.  I’m not stuck up and by no means do I think I was the best looking girl around, but I did have it going on a little.

So, now I see these pretty young girls and I think about how they really should enjoy it while they have it.  Beauty and sexiness isn’t something that stays forever.  And if you have a kid it will be gone quicker than you thought.  It’s not because you’re not pretty anymore, it’s because you have a kid with you. 

Seriously, you men out there, do you check out women who are toting tots with them?  Having a kid can automatically take you from a 9 all the way down to a 5.  And if you’re no longer a 9 because of having a baby (admit it, having a baby messes most women’s bodies up) then it’s even worse. 

Me Now (made-up)
I noticed the change when I was at the grocery store.  I was pushing my daughter around the store and people smile sweetly at my daughter but no one looks at me.  I might as well be wall paper.
I’m not digging for compliments here; I’m just surprised how my personal overall appearance has changed.  I really look like a mom now.  It’s almost as if it would defy a law somewhere in the universe if I looked hot for 2 seconds. 

Okay, I have to admit, I see those hot moms sometimes.  I have no idea how they do it.  Not a hair out of place, make-up is perfect and a body that is rocking.  Did they really have that kid?  Are they sure?  Do they have a nanny?  How do they have time to look so good?  Most of the time my hair is pinned down by about 5 or 6 clips that are half fallen out and I barely remember what make-up is.  I don’t wear perfume anymore and my clothes are purchased to be comfortable for carting around a toddler.

That is so not hot.

  1. I'm not sure how those moms do it - they probably do have nannies. I know I have a hard enough time brushing my hair some days because Emily wants to "help"

  2. All made up or not, I think you look great! And so does Tom & Kaylee! Besides, we've all watched the reality shows of those moms and what they have on the outside doesn't come close to what should be on the inside!

  3. Thanks! Like I said I'm not fishing for compliments. It was more of a commentary on how moms are treated differently and how your whole outlook changes.
