Lipstick Answers

I am so sick of moms who seem to stop caring about how they look just because they have kids. Seriously, how hard is it to blow dry your hair & put a swipe of lipstick on before you leave the house? I had to spend extra time assuring my husband that I wouldn’t let myself go when we had kids because he’s seen it happen so many times. Wouldn’t you agree that they are giving us moms who still have some self-respect a bad name? — Get Your Roots Done Already!
Dear Get Yours,
We must begin by disclosing that we are those moms you’re complaining about. Maybe not as much as we used to be, but in those early days, we could quite often be seen leaving the house with Einstein hair, mis-buttoned shirts, & yoga pants worn so often they may as well have been surgically attached. Things are better now. But we still have great empathy for the new mother’s grooming challenges. The way we see it is, in the early months (years?) of parenthood, all bets are off. After 75 days without REM sleep, we’d forgive a mom for walking around with no pants on, never mind lipstick. We do have a certain kind of awe for moms who manage to look flawless while caring for an infant . . . not unlike the feeling we have about people who break bizarre world records.
We weren’t proud of our slovenly ways. It was just how things went down. By all means, if you’ve got the inclination & the motivation to keep up appearances in the midst of chaos (or if you’ve been lucky enough to be blessed with great genes & a baby who’s not so chaotic), more power to you. But there are plenty of reasons why a mom may not be able or inclined to dab on the gloss for every soccer game.
Everyone’s basic primping threshold is different. There are women who would never dream of leaving the house without using several hair appliances. There are others who might easily leave the house wearing two different shoes. And that’s before having kids. Pile a newborn or a carpool & a job on top of that, & everyone tends to move down the ladder a few rungs. This may be a simple matter of priorities or it may be an actual political stance.
And speaking of priorities, when do you see these grungy moms? At daycare drop off? The park? It may be that they clean up nice when they see fit but have no interest in looking good for a bunch of toddlers in a sandbox or, for that matter, you. Life with kids is messy; they may just be dressing for the job. Some mothers actually do want to spend more time on their looks, but aren’t able to. Lack of time, support & resources equals a compromised grooming system. Maybe they’ve rationalized looking like hell for the time being, or maybe they are as horrified by themselves as you are.
It’s also possible that a mother who spends no time on her own appearance may actually be depressed. If this is the case, styling is the least of her problems. Have heart, & count your blessings.

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick & would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them, & the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom & met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, & cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers … & then there are educators . .i have to wonder how much longer the obama supporters will keep kissing the mirror

It is obvious that the democrats & leftist liberals have never been to Alaska. I think that everyone should know not to poke a grizzly bear with a stick & wake it up because it will be very angry & attack! Now factor in a cub that’s there & you’ve really got a problem! This is what the liberal has done by attacking Sarah palin & her daughter Bristol. She may have been hurt & had some resentment about accepting the v.p.offer, however now she is angry & will fight with all her might. she is a force to be reckoned with! She is very smart & not afraid to lay it on the line. Some politicians don’t go to certain areas against their opponents out of respect for the office & the need to work with them in the future. But Sarah palin don’t she will get rid of her problems by laying it all out for the world to see & the opponent will be eliminated! So watch this lady in action now & don’t be too surprised when she takes on the media or the biggest liberal organization out there! There will be heads rolling! P.s. Obama might have been to Alaska before because he said that families are off limits he may know a thing or two about grizzly bears!

Interesting!
A refresher course–who knew?
I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early
one Sunday morning & saw that someone had spray painted red
all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason).
I went over, woke him up, & told him the bad news. He was very upset
and was trying to figure out what to do. Another neighbor came out and
told him to get his WD-40 & clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint
beautifully & did not harm his paint job that was on the truck.
I’m mpressed!
WD-40 who knew?
Water Displacement #40.
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent & degreaser to protect missile
parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego
Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a
water displacement’ compound.
They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it
in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40
that would hurt you… IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL
