• Ooh-la-la!

  I had a little taste of post-post-partum life today... you know, when the new mom gets to re-enter "real life" with everyone else and do "big people" activities!

  So.  Today, I showered before 10 a.m., put on a little make-up and a little jewelry, wore clothes that were mostly clean and coordinated (meaning I didn't sleep in them and they didn't smell like baby spit-up and had no visible stains), and went to Great Clips for a long-overdue trim.  I had the baby in tow, so it wasn't a *total* Big People moment, but it was close!  Then I went to Target and Wal-Mart for a few things, came home, fed the baby, and realized--already?--it was time to pick up kids from school.

  So that was my day.  Tonight I'm back to being tired in my messy house and tired *of* my messy house.  But, I'll feed the baby once or twice more tonight, get to bed, and wake up one step closer to feeling like a new woman.  (That is, as long as bedtime is before midnight and wake-up time is, maybe, close to 6 a.m.!) 

  It's a good thing for my four younger kids that God gives us a short-term memory for these times of life; otherwise, I might have said ten years ago or so, "I'm not going through *that* again!"
