  Its not your man's fault, it's just the day to day stuff,.....if someone tells you to go take a buble bath, all you can think of is, "the tub need's to be scrubbed before you get in, and after.

  I need to have my hair done but dread sitting in the salon listening to absolute BS for 3 to 4 hours. I don't want to spend the 200.00 either for the non-thrill.

  I would love to get my nails done, but know soon afterwards they will be destroyed by somthing crazy I do in the yard or in the kitchen sink.

  Have you ever felt like this and what did you do to snap yourself out?

  Yeah.

  Just take the bubble bath, get the manicure, get your hair done. You always feel better afterwards, and that makes you want to do it more.

  Oh, and wash the bathtub right after your bath, so that won't be an excuse to not run the next one!

  I really want a reason to get dressed up and go out. You know, really dressy. And dance and drink wine. And get out of the darn jeans!

  I have and do over and over..........when i feel like all i do is work like a scrub maid.

  its hard work to look great and even harder to do it all the time.

  I just never have time to only think about myself.

  Usually when I want some super hot sex, I can make myself get in the groove

  Doing all that stuff just feels sexy.

  Get a spa pedicure. They last longer than manicures, even in the yard. And you can wear your ipod to drown out the gossip.

  $200 and 3 to 4 hours? Good god! What's wrong with you all? I haven't had a hair cut last longer than 15 minutes or cost more than $12.50. ;-)

  New light for you

  all i ever want or wish for is some TIME AWAY from CHILDREN. I know i'm probably ungreatful, i know they'll "grow up so fast" yadda yadda... but really, I just wish i could take a year off and soak in the tub for that year.

  Then i'd REALLY need to clean it.

  Purps and Momcrazy...we always feel better after , its getting up the mental strength and capacity to do it. I also hate spending the money...and when you feel the need to lose 20 pounds that kind if hinders the situation.

  Hey R

  I know how you feel......Little by little its so easy to let ourselves go.

  Do one and then the other.

  Honestly, I am sure you are beautiful without spending tons of money.

  All that pampering is in ones head.....

  Maybe you need a good rest first before you tackle glamming it up.

  Oh yeah, really fast when working.

  Drive a half a day. Unload ugly car that is wrecked to hell...Usually look a mess because it is hot, hair pulled back and ready to work. Wearing some chucks and long shorts with lots of pockets. Hike down to the area to shoot the lovely model...who is dolled up to a T, and help her stay feeling sexy, looking pretty, makeup perfect and wade into swamp water to get the right angle as rest of group laughs and hoots and hollers at the girl. Go back to where I am staying, find a dry corner, nap, sleep through noise, strange home, party and what not to get up and take another round of shots. To tired to bath and do it again. This time a lovely bellydancer. Ohhlala!!

  Then drive home in nasty car after packing it, smelling like swamp and lord knows what for four hours only to drop and sleep where I land at the house for a couple hours and get up to work. Get photos done ...SO EXCITED!!! and someone does not like how they look or comments how they wish they looked more sexy! LMAO! Boy, I always have to giggle.

  But I have my moments. (grin)

  Just go Saturday morning and get a pedicure. But Friday night take a bubble bath and soak away. After your pedicure, go to the movies. We're talking what, $75 max?

  I need to lose 20 lbs too. But I still like looking pretty.
