I put everyone before myself, I wish I could even fake it but I can't. I need to have my feet done so bad it's scary.

I don't know how some people just do it. I really wish I could and I can tell you till I'm blue you should go for it, just like you would probably tell me the same.

What's wrong with us? We need to go to one of those week long spa places and get over it.

Got a mani/pedi on Monday. I didn't feel guilty! It has taken a long time to get to this point, and a long time to realize the kids like to be with their daddy without me there, I am not "the keeper of everything" It can be handled well in my absence!

What a good point. Seriously. My hair's getting pretty bad..my highlights have grown out about 4-5 inches, the ends are split, it's been a while since it was touched. I whined to my husband today, I really need a haircut. He said, "If YOU can justify spending that money on your hair, then do it..." Of course, I *couldn't* because I guess I don't think I am worth 25 bucks for the cut?? So, I

lol...yes, I know I feel guilty about a lot of things...surely NOT a pedicure though, I love those.

For instance, this Sat is my birthday, what I REALLY want is a couple hours to myself...alone...and I am dieing inside feeling guilty about NOT wanting those couple of hours to be spent with my kids and hubby. Shouldn't I want to spend my special day WITH them? Do they mean less to me

It's not just a mommy thing. I feel guilty ever spending money on myself...For Anything.
My husband gave me a new rule though. If it's under $50 and makes me happy I should just get it.

I feel this way every time I get my hair done (cuz it always takes like 3 hours). Every Time.

Girl, I totally know what you're saying. But I have to also say- you are SO worth it.

Someday you don't want to look back on all those fakes and have regrets. Go for it. Tomorrow might not even come. Live now for YOU - not your family first, but YOU. Then you'll be able be even better at being a mom and housewife and all that fluff. You know- the whole put your oxygen mask on first

2008-07-02T10:40:33.128-05:00

I'm definitely the same way!! I feel so guilty spending money on myself!! I do appreciate it and enjoy it when I'm out...but there is always that spot in the back of my mind wondering if hubby's handling things alright, or if I should be gone 'too long'.

I am definitely the same way. The worst is when I ...

2008-07-02T09:04:28.198-05:00

I am definitely the same way. The worst is when I get a gift certificate for a massage (because I'd never think I deserve it without one!), and then spend the entire time thinking, This is nice, but I should be doing this.... or, I don't really deserve this, and then after, I realize that I've wasted the entire hour of pampering because I just cannot shut down my brain. I wish I had a solution,

On some level I understand what you are saying, but I confess that I love my pedicures and completely enjoy them when I get them, which is about every other week. It is so easy to give our attention to everybody else, but if we don't care of ourselves who will? Sometimes you just gotta look out for number 1!

2008-07-02T08:12:53.314-05:00

We are so much alike...are we sure I didn't birth you? You deserve to pamper yourself. I want to see those perty toes girl...get that camera out and snap it. We want to see Crooked Eyebrows toes!

2008-07-02T07:25:00.501-05:00

Oh, I've completely stopped with manicures and pedicures because I just can't handle the guilt anymore. For me I guess it's most the time - who do I think I am, sitting there doing nothing while someone tends to my nails? But any other woman I think fully deserves the pampering and should have it done. It is only I who am wasting time and being spoiled if I do it. Weird.
