So, we now have a chair in the bathroom. I don't mind walking, but I get exhausted standing stationary. Doing hair and makeup for work ( and i'm not a gal that goes overboard - my whole routine including showering, dressing, hair & makeup is only 30mins ) has become a bit of a chore. So now I sit to do the makeup bit and peer into a small mirror ( the one I bought to take to hospital, actually I also need to take breaks from preparing veges etc for dinner ( I cut and slice, dice etc standing up with a board by the sink ). It's so exhausting !! ) SO I chop the carrots, take a break, chop the onions, take a break etc I suppose I could take all the food over to the kitchen table and do the lot sitting down, but that somehow seems so much harder -- Baby, I can't wait to meet you !

30 minutes for shower, makeup, hair and makeup????
Honey, thats about to change! That would be an eon for a working mom. Like, the only time I spend that long getting beautiful is when I'm going to a very fancy occasion (and gee, that happens often...NOT!) Mary G. Mom of three, 10 minutes flat (and yes, I do blow dry and put makeup on) and then scamper downstairs to feed the brood. |

I take 10-15 minutes to shower and get dressed, then I go make a kid's lunch, drinks, watch the headlines, then go back to my bathroom to do my contacts, make-up, and hair which probably takes 10 minutes. So that's 20-25 minutes - not all at once. Why is that a lot? Honey, thats about to change! That would be an eon for a working mom.

EDD: 10-Apr-2004 Sorry, I replied to the reply, but not your post. I'm the same way. I have to sit a lot, in-between whatever I'm doing or I get hot and dizzy. |

That is an eon for a stay at home mom, too. Can you say three and a half minutes, including a quick facial buffing and a hairwash with conditioner? Like, the only time I spend that long getting beautiful is when I'm going to a very fancy occasion (and gee, that happens often...NOT!) Mary G. Mom of three, 10 minutes flat (and yes, I do blow dry and put makeup on) and then scamper downstairs to feed the brood. It's amazing how fast a shower becomes when you have at least one child pressed against the bathroom door, keening miserably. Donna (dreaming of the time when the kids will be able to make their own breakfasts. Or am I kidding myself?) |

I just saw some in the grocery store today. You can buy fresh, chopped onions, celery, and carrots. You can also get cauliflower and broccoli that are already separated. I don't know if grocery stores near you offer this kind of stuff, though, but it might be worth trying to find. |

See how lazy I am? I'm willing to pay extra, too. |
