With every pregnancy I have taken it upon myself to not really buy anything for myself, but one splurge and that is a cute diaper bag. No need to try on clothes or anything else, it is just flat out depressing, but give the girl a cute bag and I am a happy camper.
This time and last time around we have found great bags at the outlet mall and I just had to show off a purchase that a special someone made just recently, because I am in looove.
Now I do not show this off to brag...I am showing this off to merely make a point. The other week I had a "pathetic moment".
Jake and I were talking and he was trying to carry around my other diaper bag. He is quite a good little helper.
Well after a little while I wanted him to put the bag away so I told him:
"boys don't need purses...purses are for girls"
Jake then asked me, as he is always asking these days:
"purses for girls??"
Me: " Yes Jake...that's mommy's purse, mommy is a girl"
To which Jake so easily replied:
"Mommy is a girl??"
I cannot tell you the amount of question behind that one in his voice. Maybe it was just me, but it sure seemed as though he questioned that one more than any other questions so far in his life.
This is the point that I knew...I need some girly-ness in my life...so yesterday...I got to go to the hair salon and get my hair "did"...it is a very small step...but sure does make me feel a little bit girly-ier!
Maybe one of these days I will take the time to get my nails done or have a girls night...sounds like I need to start carving out some girl time for me, especially if we have another boy roaming around...these boys need to know that mommy really is a girl...I promise :-)
