Do you ever feel the need to rise before the whole family JUST to have a bit of time for yourself?

I do often and yes, I rise early often.

I’ve been trying to color my hair, paint my toes, and make my eyebrows half way decent for about a month now.  Have I had the time?  NO.

So I’m assuming other mothers out there take the time to do the little things for themselves but at oh 5AM.  I even got so much done but the key was doing it before “They” arose for the day.  I’m too tired with my Anemia to try and stay awake very late

So at 5AM yesterday “I” was pampered by “Moi”…

1. My hair is brown again.  Strange but the wonderful grey/white turned a light brown.  Added bonus of highlights isn’t a bad thing.
2. My eyebrows are looking a bit more normal.  What joy that is.  Let me tell you.
3. My toes are a pretty light purple.  I figure I can’t always do the very dark colors.
4. My face feels extra nice thanks to the mini soothing coconut facial I gave myself.

Sometimes it’s really the little things that matter after you’ve hung out with a sick toddler for the past week.  I felt I was losing brain cells and I’m still recovering myself.  I’m so not a “Hang out in bed all day” kind of person.  It almost drove me insane.  Still, after my morning “Moi” time I feel a bit more human and ready to start of this great week ahead…The Mother of a Tween Princess, Superhero Toddler, and living with PCOS.
