I'm a mess

I gained a few pounds over the past two weeks.  Gave up being strictly vegan- just can't do it.  Skipped a few workouts, now that Hubby's schedule is all backwards.  Unfortunately imbibed in more soda than I usually consume in a year.  My hair is in a frizzy, knotty state, but I won't buy the Fekkai shampoo and conditioner I've been drooling over, because I want to use up what we already have- I don't want to feel guilty throwing perfectly good products out.  My legs haven't been shaved in a week and, well... my other usually-shaved areas are following suit.  My skin is breaking out (again???  WTF, Mother Nature??) and my allergies are turning my eyes red.

I'm totally sexy right now.

I know I should take care of myself a little better, but I'm kind of preoccupied with the move and the kids and saving money.  I'll make more of an effort for graduation, I promise.  Definitely don't want to be a pale whale this summer!  Maybe I'll paint my nails or something.

Any mommas out there know how I can get rid of the post-baby belly?  That's another mess I've been trying to work on.  I'd say I even still look preggers.  It's very bizarre- even my ribcage is a nice medium size, but below the ribs, I have a puffy, flabby tummy (I know, I'm even sexier now, right?).  I never had trouble with my tummy before kids, so any advice out there?

The Magic Eraser may be the most brilliant tool for cleaning up messes ever.  No one paid me to say that- I just really love the damn thing.

Fabric softener really messes up your washer.  We found this out the hard way when all our white clothes got ruined, and Hubby took the washer apart to find a disgusting greasy mess.  I can't wait to go back to Bounce.  Again, no one paid me to say that, I just love the damn stuff.

I hope you are having more of a mess-free week than I!  I'm off to work on all my messes. :)
