Stepping it up

Two months in pajamas, with unbrushed hair, covered in spit-up and tending to bodily fluids of all sorts, can make anyone feel a little out of the workplace loop. So I tried to physically ready myself for returning to work:

• Dye those hair roots;
• Pluck eyebrows for the first time in months;
• Find under-eye concealer to hide those circles;
• Find some earrings and a watch to look at in the meetings;
• Find the "fattest" pre-pregnancy pants that sort of "fit;" swear under my breath for having to hold it in all day, but choose to wear them nonetheless over the falling-off maternity clothes;
  
• Find pre-pregnancy button-up shirts; resolve to wear the shirts unbuttoned with a cami underneath to avoid popping all buttons in the boobage area (at least this inflation makes my tummy less obvious!);
• Break out some non-sneaker closed shoes (I have toenails?!? Those will have to be spring-readied later);
• Set everything out for the morning;
• Pack for work (don't forget the ice packs from the freezer in the morning!).
  

Not sure if I feel physically ready, but it's a start. Now if only I was mentally ready too!

Wish Dovie a good (long!) night of sleep, and wish me luck. Hope y'all had a good Mother's Day!
