As it is Fat Tuesday (thought nearing the end obviously) I cooked up some steaks, mushrooms, chips and carrots. For we must dwell in the land of meat. After that satisfying meal I made a pile of crepes. I made the batter right after tea earlier today and let it sit awhile so it made a fantastic bunch. Mr. Jenner had his with lemon juice and sugar. I had mine with home-made jam. We stuffed ourselves.
Tomorrow? dirty foreheads and macaroni and cheese. Though not all at once. (can't seem greedy)

I had a look in the mirror today. Oy. It wasn't pretty. Motherhood is bad for your looks. Actually Motherhood isn't bad for your looks. The lack of decent sleep kicks your looks around like an old can. I realized today that my eyelids and the area just beneath my eyes physically felt exhausted. The circles wouldn't be so bad but my skin has become even more pale so it accentuates the whole look. I need to get my eyebrows done, I have forgotten how to exfoliate and yet my hair looks pretty good (though it could stand to be washed) so there are trade offs.
While I am now below my pre-pregnancy weight my entire body has sort of....shifted. In all kinds of different directions so it doesn't quite feel like my own body. Is this a lovely parting gift for my time and effort as a pregnant person? "Oh gee you shouldn't have. A card would have been better."
But hey what can you do except roll with all of it. I have a cute kid.
