I became a SAHM (Stay-at-Home Mom) in October of 2008 after our second child, Jameson, was born. The SAHM seems to live such a secret life these days. No one talks about what a SAHM really does and most assume that she must be crazy, in more ways than one. I mean, almost all of the Soap Operas have been canceled so what do we do?!? Yes, I spend a majority of time in my sweatpants and yes, I do sometimes realize halfway through they day that I haven't even had time to brush my hair...so if I know anything, it is not the most glamorous of jobs. (Yes, it is a job Just like Drill Team IS a sport.) I am sure SAHM's that have nannies in addition to staying home or get up five hours before their kids still wear skinny jeans and heels but I treasure my pocketbook and sleep too much for that life.
With that said, I come full circle to the title: nail polish. Two simple words, one simple bottle, can make such a difference. Set aside five minutes and you too can have instant glamorization (not sure that is even a word) of your life. They make polish that dries in 30 seconds. 30 seconds people. I can be covered in spit up, up to my elbows in diapers and still feel a little bit like the woman I am when I catch a glimpse of my ruby red, black or fluorescent pink nails. It's my recent "ahhh" moment that makes me feel like a grown-up again.
Are you still wondering if I'll address what a SAHM does? Well, I guess that will remain a secret for now.
