Little things that matter

So, I've always prided myself on being a "low maintenance" lady. I rarely wear make up. My hair is pretty wash and go. I'm not much for jewelry. I've always thought these were good things.

I still think they are good but I'm learning that sometimes my low maintenance-ness might seem like apathy. I got my hair cut on Memorial Day weekend. The new style requires a bit more effort than my old style did. If I just wash and go it looks a bit lifeless. If I use a little gel and a clip, it looks more stylish. Chris wasn't sold on the hair cut at first but when I started using the gel and such he noticed. He comments all the time now about how nice it looks. Hmmm...maybe he likes when I put a little more effort into my appearance.

Maybe he's sick of those ratty old sweatpants, too. A new pair of yoga pants would be just as comfortable but look a bit nicer. A quick coat of lipgloss wouldn't really take much time but might really show him that I'm happy that he's home.

So, all I do is take care of the kids all day. That doesn't mean I shouldn't take care of my appearance. After all, only my husband's opinion of my appearance really matters. So what if he's the only person to see me in a day...he's the only one who counts!
