My eyebrows are bordering on uni, my teeth are regularly unflossed, I've completely given up on coloring my hair, and I neglected exercise all winter, so much that my spring pants DO NOT FIT...and I've given up shopping for the year, which poses quite the problem. Oh, and I've had the mammo form from the dr. sitting on my kitchen counter for 9 months and have yet to make the appt at th clinic. No lie. <br /><br />Point well taken.

I haven't done it nearly often enough, and was surprised recently when a haircut and some highlights turned my mood 180.

I need to do it, and they sort of enjoy it too. <br /><br />Also, I flossed this morning. You know, because I have a dentist appointment coming up.<br /><br />jbhatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-8723197409099291362011-04-13T06:37:00.054-07:002011-04-13T06:37:00.054-07:00Oh, Anna.

I haven't been cruising blogs much because my life's off center [long story], and I believe if I pause once [or TEN] times a day for a little Self Care, things would return to center. With your very funny, yet precise, story, you've given me focus for today that might just be the catalyst to move my world back to it's axis.

I only just recently realized how much I LOVE it when Matt takes both kids out for even just an hour. I can shower in peace. Read in peace. Clean up in peace. It's simply the best. So now we make it a point for me to get a little bit of home-me-time each weekend and it rocks!<br /><br />I feel your dental pain, as you know. Hope it's better soon. It's the pits.

As soon as the dentist told me I might get a cracked tooth, I started wearing that guard. My husband thinks it's so sexy (not).<br /><br />I wish self-care appointments were a lot more fun, but I do them...Lynn from For Love or Funnyhttp://forloveorfunny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-25626854043016153292011-04-12T19:30:36.718-07:002011-04-12T19:30:36.718-07:00Reading!

And I have been exercising regularly for 5 years, but then, I've been eating too much for all 5. I also got myself into a high-risk breast cancer screening group after my mom's second bout, so that's a biggie too. Although a sitz bath (hell, ANY kind of bath) sounds pretty heavenly right now.K A B L O O E Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995547356428809262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-11099035136279652462011-04-12T18:42:52.701-07:002011-04-12T18:42:52.701-07:00Um, why aren't we friends on facebook?
