Plum Tuckered..

OUT! This is ME, in my GREEN dress for St. Patricks Day and my battery just fell OUT!

What a day! It began at the crack of dawn. 6:00 AM to be exact. With some office work, a shower, some QUIET time before I was out the door at 9:30. Worked until 2:00, then snuck home for a quick 10 minute baby fix. I was sooo jealous, Mr. Milo got to help out our neighbors today for a few hours watching Trace, their 8 week old. I asked if he thought he would want another one. Please note, when the discussion came to 'who was getting FIXED', he wanted to 'keep his options open!' Seriously, those were his EXACT words!

After 2 hours of baby smell & baby snuggles, he noted that it was just like riding a bike. It all comes right back to you. Thank goodness babies are not edible, cause you COULD eat them right up! Riley of course didn't quite now what to think of the whole ordeal. So Mr. Milo decided he could just wait for grand children some day and in the mean time take advantage of the next door kids, ages 4, 2, and 8 weeks. That makes me tired just typing those ages!

So after my 'FIX'. I seriously was sooo jealous. When I left in the morning, my statement to him was, 'You know what my problem as a woman is? 'When I am at work, I want to be home. And when I am at home, I want to be at work.' That proceeded into a long discussion about God not designing women to work, yada yada, yada...I was quick to point out that Rahab was a VERY influential woman in the bible. Mr. Milo said, 'well she didn't work.' I said, 'She was a prostitute.' Mr. Milo shut up. Seriously, I sometimes think 'Little House on the Prairie' days are what it is truly is all about! But then may be Carolyn Ingalls wished she was more than a wife and mother?

Like I promised more on the whole woman at inner war, romance thing later this week. I just wanted to add some more hype to it!

Then off for an in-home wardrobe make-over until 4:00, grabbed an early supper at the studio, then went to meet a NEW client at the Dress Barn for a 2 hour shopping experience. We found the PERFECT cream and brown polka dot dress, shoes, purse, earrings, and bracelet for her nephew's wedding in June. She WILL look SMOKIN hot for a 50 some year old! I said, 'And make sure you have plenty of my business cards in your cute clutch to hand out EVERY time someone comments about how GREAT you look!'

Then of course we dabbled in work wear, weekend casual duds, and before you knew it 2 hours had past. Time flies when you are having FUN! 3 jackets, 2 pairs of pants, and a few shirts later she was complete. With a new outlook on exactly what looks great on her body shape, her confidence grew in just that short time we were together. She will be able to take the guidelines we used today and use them for future shopping trips!

The in-home wardrobe make-over consisted of identifying keys pieces that worked, some new organizational tips for season, and at least 15 - 20 NEW outfits simply using EVERYTHING she already owned! If you ask me, a small investment to create that many new outfits verses a shopping spree is a GREAT bang for one's buck! In this failing economy, an in home wardrobe make over is a great tool!

I LOVE MY JOB!

WAIT!

Wasn't it just seconds ago I was wishing I could stay home and take care of my babies?

See what I mean?

But it is 10 minutes past my desired bed time and in order to function in any sane capacity tomorrow, I best wash my face, apply my 9 creams, tuck in my babies, and head to la-la land. An early morning, coffee date with a girlfriend before heading into work (while, I will really be wanting to be at home) is in store. First things first, I MUST be in prime girlfriend mode by 8:30 AM!

ahhhhh....the many hats, we as women wear! It makes me tired just typing about it!

TTYL!
