Do I look presentable? Is my hair tied properly? Wait! did I wear my lip gloss before leaving the house and so on!!
Honestly, I don’t think about these things anymore. A woman, not bothered about her looks. They don’t matter to me much now. It’s a different phase of my life. I have 2 children to take care of. All that I think of now is getting the kids ready for school, are they eating well, the dates of vaccination, what are they learning at school, what extra curricular activities should I make them join and so on.
It’s not about myself neglecting me, it’s not about me giving all my time to my children. It is about choosing what I feel is right. In fact, it’s my own choice, I don’t blame anyone for this and although I get tired sometimes, I still enjoy it. I love being with my children and it’s a great feeling to be able to take care of them in every possible way that I can.
I believe, that I am now paying attention to better things in..life, I am paying attention to another growing life, nourishing it with my knowledge, I am paying attention to a broader perspective, things that I feel now are the most important and close to my heart.
As far as my looks are concerned, I guess a I anyway look beautiful with my kids around. I have A Beautiful Mind.

It important to take you time as well. It can be small such as reading your favorite book, nails done. You don’t want to become burnt out. Loved your post.
