Simply take, a tired and slightly worn out person - a mother of small children is best
Sprinkle with sunshine...
Remind said person that it isn't actually winter anymore.
Exercise. I find a bike ride is best. This encourages wakefulness, and also feelings of post-exercising virtuous-ness.
Plunge in shower.
Rinse off dirt, snot, grime, and any other debris.
Complete ablutions until satisfactorily clean and smooth.
Dry.
Moisturise.
Steer towards wardrobe.
Remind subject that clothes other than jeans exist.
Dress according to taste.
Provide cup of tea to get over the shock of wearing skirt.
Consider painting toe-nails.
Decide not to get carried away. It is only April after all.
Straighten hair.
Add necessary accompaniment to face; in this case - a smile.
And now you're done.
You're not just a mummy. You're a nearly ready for summer, even if it's gone a bit cloudy mummy.
At your stage in life you are bound to be primarily a mummy most of the time!
ReplyDeleteBut what a special mummy you are and you are a beautiful and caring mummy/wife/friend/daughter/sister etc. etc. With so many hats no wonder you feel tired and a bit lack-lustre at times but to so many of us you never stop shining!
May others brighten your day too!
