| After a long day of changing diapers, putting out tantrum fires, finger painting, cutting and gluing everything in our path, and scaling Mt. Laundry Pile, I feel like this Valentine's Day dog. All droopy and sleepy eyed, needing some coffee and someone to love me in my unshowered, no make-up, still-in-my-jammies-because-I'm-way-too-cold-to-get-dressed state. Thank God for my AMAZING husband who loves me just the way I am! Cuz somedays - it just ain't pretty. Pic by my preschooler - featuring: Bubbles The Dog |
Need to get your sexy back right now and don't feel like you have the time? Here's a list of Top 10 things you can try to get your groove back and celebrate like you did pre-kids!
- Remove all squeaky and musical toys from your bed.
- Haven't gotten around to loosing the baby weight or getting your highlights done? Light some candles. Flickering light makes everyone look good.
- Move the kids into their own rooms for the night. It's kinda hard to get your sexy back with a co-sleeping preschooler, a toddler sleeping sideways, a baby attached to your breast and your baby daddy on the floor.
- Forgot to take that pole dancing class at your gym? Watch some Motley Crue videos on YouTube and copy some moves.
- Don't have dinner reservations? Search “sexy foods” on Google and hope you have some of the ingredients in your fridge.
- Want to watch a romantic movie to get you in the mood? Pop in The Notebook. Ryan Gosling will do it every time! Just remember to wake up your man, who's sleeping next to you on the couch, when it's time to fool around.
- Make a sexy playlist on iTunes. Be sure to remove all kid songs. It's hard to get in the mood to the Backyardigans theme song.
- Search the garage for that naughty nurse's costume you wore for your sororities Halloween party 8 years ago, and while your at it, look for the box that says “pre-pregnancy panties.”
- Jump in the shower, fix your hair cute, apply make-up, ditch the yoga pants (for once), find a top that isn't covered in baby barf, dig out one of your old bras (not the nursing bras you've been living in), shave off the three months' worth of hair growth from your legs and armpits, trim up any other business you need to attend to, slip into that sexy red dress and heels that haven't seen the light of day since your honeymoon, have a glass of wine at dinner and forget that you are a mom for a few hours.
- Take the kids to grandma's, turn off the lights, jump into bed with your man and do it all night long without any interruptions. I'm talking about sleep! When you wake up rested for the first time in months you'll have more energy to get frisky.
No more excuses! Which ones do you think you'll try?
