Saturday was a busy day as is the case with most of us, I am sure. I started the day with a little sleeping in, very little, and then a pancake breakfast with the family. I had promised Arianna some one-on-one time so we headed out to do some shopping for some fall clothes as soon as Massimo was fed and down for his nap. I could have gotten ready before heading out but that would have cut our time shopping short, so I didn't. Threw my hair back in a pony tail and brushed my teeth and got dressed.
We got home in time to change Arianna into her soccer uniform before heading out for the game. I could have gotten ready then, but that would have meant I would have been less helpful while everyone scurried to get ready to head out. Used a bit of lip gloss and we were off.
After the game I had a baby to feed and get back to napping before heading out with lunch w/ some girl friends. Now I REALLY should have gotten done up, but it was Massimo getting down calmly or me looking less scary. Yup, Massimo won. Before he was quite done feeding my ride had arrived so I headed out the door. I had a great time and even forgot that I had never gotten ready for the day until I passed a mirror-yikes! Oh well.
Got home to a bit of a mess. Cleaned house, bathed kids and got things packed up quickly to head over to a friends house for dinner and games. Again, should have gotten ready, could have left something else undone, but I chose myself.
Now, this is not a significant victory, I am WELL aware of that. However, as I got ready for bed that night and I noticed that I had gone through the whole crazy day w/o makeup I felt a bit victorious inside. Not because I am naturally beautiful, I am not; not because make up is bad, it is not; but because I could be OK without it for the day. I was glad that I could choose to do other things that felt more important to me and let myself go, especially on a day when I was out and about so much. I mean, I have cleaning days at home when I don't get all that ready, but I don't expect to see many people. :) I quite like those relaxed days!
I got all ready for church come sunday; I got ready today; but on saturday, I just chose something else. I was glad I could.
I know, I know, if only I would have gotten up earlier or passed on any one of the days' activities I could have made myself a bit more presentable, but why? It turned out to be a wonderful day, just the way it was.
Call me crazy!
I'd attach photos of the crazy day, but I KNOW you'd rather not see!!

Sounds like me everyday...except now I got my hair cut short, no ponytails. :) I've just decided that if my kids look cute, it makes up for me.
You're more naturally beautiful than you let on, but way to go! You chose 'the better part', something i need to do a little more often.
We look forward to seeing you Saturday!
much love
Hello Poggio family! Remember us- the Williams'?! Nice to "see" you again! Congrats on your beautiful family! Visit us here: http://adrianandjessica.blogspot.com/
I thought you were done up...you looked fabulous!
I think you are so naturally beautiful and I didn't even notice at lunch that you didn't have make up on. I love the family picture above, when did you get that taken?
Good job! I'm sure you still looked beautiful as always! I wouldn't be caught DEAD without makeup but that's mostly for the sake of those who have to look at me :)
Boy, can I relate! I feel like a glamor girl if I can get my hair and my make up done.
I am seeing your family photo all over the Wayman Studio ads. That tells you how beautiful you and your family are!
